Program: Model Schools

Dates: 8/1/2020 to 8/31/2020

The "Mind-Body Connection"� has a profound effect on an individual's learning.

Others believe the mind exists outside of the body and affects the brain, causing the electromagnetic activity that we can observe with technology. This course will focus on Contemporary Mind-body Perspectives, the Emotion's Effect on the body, how the mind and body are functionally inseparable, how thought affects physiology, how to harness the power of positive attitude, unconscious and conscious awareness, responsibility and creative intelligence, core beliefs and seed thoughts, emotion and the body's language, mental projections and expectations, interpersonal versus intrapersonal communication, body messages, technological feedback, brain- body integration, how the brain and body communicate, the stress response, the relaxation response, the subconscious mind and behavior, how exercise, physical fitness, nutrition and sleep affect learning, how a healthy body fosters a healthy mind, and how to improve the capacity to learn.

Program: Eastern Suffolk BOCES Professional Development Program

Audience: K-12 Educators and Administrators

Dates: 10/21/2020

This is the empirically supported model Dr. Ross Greene described his influential books The Explosive Child, Lost at School, Lost & Found, and Raising Using Beings. The CPS model has transformed thinking and practices in countless families, schools, inpatient psychiatry units, and residential and juvenile detention facilities throughout the world, and has been associated with dramatic reductions in adult-child conflict, challenging behaviors, disciplinary referrals, detentions, suspensions, seclusions, and physical, chemical, and mechanical restraints. The model represents a significant departure from discipline-as-usual: it focuses on solving problems rather than on modifying behavior, emphasizes collaborative rather than unilateral solutions, encourages proactive rather than reactive intervention, de-emphasizes diagnostic categories, and provides practical, research-based tools for assessment and intervention. Participants in this workshop will leave with an understanding of the underpinnings of the model, its refinements over the past 8-10 years, and practical assessment and intervention tools that can be brought back to and used in these diverse settings. At the conclusion of the seminar, participants will be able to:

•Describe the six key themes of the CPS model, and how the model focuses on problems (and solving them) rather than the behaviors that are being caused by those problems (and modifying them); the advantages of collaborative (rather than unilateral) problem solving; and the importance and feasibility of proactive (rather than reactive) intervention.

•Identify and assess the various cognitive skills that are central to adaptively handling life's social, emotional, and behavioral challenges

•Identify and prioritize the unsolved problems precipitating challenging behavior

Program: Eastern Suffolk BOCES Professional Development Program

Audience: K-12 Educators and Administrators

Dates: 11/20/2020

In this workshop, Dr. Hoerr will show how school culture can be a tool to teach students the Formative Five (empathy, self-control, integrity, embracing diversity, and grit) SEL success skills. We will begin by examining the Formative Five and SEL, and then look at how the aspects of culture (vision/values, practices, people, narrative, and place) can be used in a collegial setting that helps everyone grow. Participants will leave with an action strategy that they can use in their schools.
