In line with the 2022 New York State mandate, school districts are required to ensure Holocaust education is accurately represented in curricula. This initiative helps educators meet this requirement while also aligning with Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) principles, emphasizing the human and ethical dimensions of Holocaust education. To facilitate this work, the School Improvement Team, in partnership with various organizations, will organize three full-day sessions each year, each centered on a specific Holocaust-related theme. These sessions are designed to equip educators with the knowledge, resources, and instructional strategies necessary to bring these critical lessons back to their schools and classrooms.

Designed specifically for school librarians, this course focuses on how to teach about artificial intelligence, not just with it, across all K-12 grade bands. Each week, participants will engage with curated resources aligned to the document's four major strands: Why AI (its role in our lives and world), How AI Works (technical foundations), AI in Society (ethics, privacy, workforce, and global impact), and AI in Practice (responsible, inclusive, and creative use). Deepen your own understanding of AI through readings and media, then collaborate in discussion forums to share reflections, resources, and implementation strategies. The culminating goal of the course is to create and share fully developed, classroom-ready lesson plans that align with one or more strands of the scope and sequence and can be used by other librarians. This course will take place asynchronously on Schoology, with weekly modules and collaborative discussion prompts. Whether you're new to AI or already experimenting with AI instruction, this course will support you in bringing this important topic to life in your school community.

The Anxious Generation delves into a generation-defining investigation into the collapse of youth mental health in the era of smartphones, social media, and big tech- and outlines a plan for a healthier, freer childhood. After more than a decade of stability or improvement, the mental health of adolescents plunged in the early 2010s. Rates of depression, anxiety, self-harm, and suicide rose sharply, more than doubling on many measures. In The Anxious Generation, social psychologist Jonathan Haidt lays out the facts about the epidemic of teen mental illness and investigates the nature of childhood, including why children need play and independent exploration to mature into competent, thriving adults. Haidt shows how the "play-based childhood” was wiped out by the arrival of the "phone-based childhood” in the early 2010s. He presents more than a dozen mechanisms by which this "great rewiring of childhood” has interfered with children's social and neurological development, covering everything from sleep deprivation to attention fragmentation, addiction, loneliness, social contagion, social comparison, and perfectionism. Most importantly, Haidt issues a clear call to action. He proposes four simple rules that might set us free. He describes steps that parents, teachers, schools, tech companies, and governments can take to end the epidemic of mental illness and restore a more humane childhood.

Staff who are trained in the TCIS program are provided a crisis prevention and intervention model designed to teach staff how to help children learn constructive ways to proactively diminish crisis and also support students and staff to react to a crisis. The skills, knowledge, and professional judgment of staff in responding to crises are critical factors in helping young people learn constructive and adaptive ways to deal with frustration, failure, anger, rejection, hurt, and depression. Program objectives include learning to proactively prevent and/or de-escalate a potential crisis situation with a child or young person, manage a crisis situation in a therapeutic manner, and if necessary, intervene physically in a manner that reduces the risk of harm to children and staff and process the crisis event with children and young people to help improve their coping strategies.
