What is eTeachNY? A coalition of education partners who have come together to support the implementation of teaching in remote learning environments (TRLE). BUT, it is SO much more! The eTeachNY website houses a vast amount of resources divided into six core areas: culturally responsive education, ELLS and/or MLS, families as partners, SEL, shifting to teaching online and students with disabilities. In this asynchronous workshop, YOU will choose one of these areas to explore more deeply with a focus on key learning objectives, while taking notes of key takeaways along the way. You may choose to explore one or all six for 6-36 CTLE professional development hours!

Every district library should have a strong collection development guideline in place that includes selection, deselection and reconsideration. Join regional librarians to collaborate on developing or editing yours.

Building a pathway toward educational equity in schools requires a commitment from educators to be aware and understand existing inequities and how those inequities rob students of dignity. One step toward teaching against indignities is to focus on understanding microaggressions. The 3-hour microaggressions and bias workshop aims to raise awareness of microaggressions in K-12 education context. Through live presentation in the first part of the workshop, participants will receive content knowledge on microaggressions across identity groups. Participants will gain information to further their understanding on when microaggressions happen, what microaggressions are rooted in (hint: it's bias!), and pedagogical strategies to disrupt and prevent microaggressions in school. In the second part of the live workshop, participants will practice disrupting a series of school-based microaggression scenarios and work to reflect, develop and be prepared to implement strategies to prevent microaggressions from happening in their own educational space. Anticipated participant outcomes: Participants will leave the workshop able to: 1. Define, identify and discuss microaggressions 2. Recognize and explain the relationship between microaggressions and bias 3. Identify and apply pedagogical strategies to disrupt microaggressions in school 4. Develop and implement pedagogical strategies to create spaces

Building a pathway toward educational equity in schools requires a commitment from educators to be aware and understand existing inequities and how those inequities rob students of dignity.

Participants will leave with an increased understanding on the way poverty impacts student experiences in the classroom and at school. Participants will gain pedagogical methods and curricular considerations for creating an anti-poverty classroom space that gives students of all social class identities, with attention to low-income students, a sense of classroom belonging and access to an equitable learning experience. Anticipated participant outcomes: Participants will leave this workshop able to: 1. Identify and discuss poverty and education 2. Identify and discuss anti-poverty principles and practices and education 3. Implement pedagogical strategies for creating inclusive educational spaces for students across social class identity groups
