Family and culture play an intricate role not only in methods of communicating, but also in shaping the way we think and interact with others. Today, education goes far beyond focusing on literacy and mathematics. Educators that acknowledge, incorporate, and celebrate the whole child can provide access to a world many may view as impossible. As educators we must use and find the best practices for reaching all students and families to provide emotional and technical support, compassion, and encouragement as we partner in facilitating learning at both home and school. Using the Culturally Responsive-Sustaining Education Framework, this workshop will tap into actionable steps educators can take to provide access for all students and their families.

Therefore, this hands-on workshop will examine instructional practices that promote cross-cultural understanding and critical discussions among students, while empowering them to take transformative civic action.

This course offers two CTLE credit options:

6 CTLE Credit Hours: Participants selecting this option will complete six (6) short activities from a menu of eight (8) options, including one initial and one concluding reflection. Activities include short-written descriptions of how you would apply what you are learning to your instructional practice, one lesson plan outline to apply course ideas (not optional), and brief reflections on key ideas presented in the course.

8 CTLE Credit Hours: Participants selecting this option will complete the six (6) activities mentioned above plus one additional activity, consisting of a short unit outline that incorporates the ideas presented in the workshop (total: 7 activities).

PE HE Consortium
Standards-based assessment & grading (SABG) is a growth-mindset approach to teaching and learning based on the expectation that everyone can learn when provided with the right conditions and support. It offers all students and teachers an alternative to the restrictions and limitations of traditional daily point-based grading. By refocusing grading and assessment on learning the targeted standards and implementing research-based systems honoring individual variation in learning styles, SABG allows more students to succeed academically and to take charge of their own learning. This workshop focuses on specific details about how to implement SABG in the gym, track, weight room, field and dance room; additionally it opens up some questions about traditional assessment and grading practices thus providing a shift in mindset and practice required to implement SABG effectively. The new NYS state PE standards will be the focus of the grading/assessment guidance. A general outcome of this workshop is designing assessment protocols that can be adopted across multiple assessments. Please bring currently used assessments.
