Program: Model Schools

Dates: 12/1/2020 to 12/31/2020

Starting Today

An educator's classroom includes a di- verse group of pupils, which will consist of LGBTQ students. Families of LGBTQ students expect and deserve a fair and safe learning environment for their children to learn. Educators know that in order for meaningful learning to take place, all students must feel safe and supported in the school community. This is especially true for students who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender, or are questioning their sexuality. Statewide legislation such as DASA and provisions under the federal law, Title IX do protect LGBTQ pupils, however, the true impact begins from a compassionate and informed teacher. As an advocate, a teacher renders a tremendous difference on students who are struggling with their identities. Ultimately this course will inform teachers how to work with parents, administrators, support staff and LGBTQ students to promote a safe, respectful learning environment.

This course will focus on Con- temporary 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.

PLEASE NOTE TIME CHANGE: MEETING WILL TAKE PLACE 10:00 AM - 1:00 PM

Melissa Jacobs, Director of Library Services, NYC Department of Education/NYC School Library System Join Melissa Jacobs for an update on school library services during Covid-19. Learn how NYC school librarians transitioned from in-school practices to blended learning using the Translation of Practice, how librarians implemented the Reopening School Libraries Plan, and how a pivot to online resources ensured school librarians were recognized as an essential partner in connecting students with vetted content. Reexamining the Stories We Tell: A Collaborative Approach Between the Long Island Museum and Pulaski Street School When the pandemic hit, schools and museums had to pivot from traditional ways of educating students. During this time of reflection about how to continue serving schools from a distance, the Long Island Museum (LIM) also took time to assess their program content in order to better examine underrepresented stories and voices. Knowing collaborations often bring about the best results, Kristin Cuomo (Senior Museum Educator, LIM) and Lisa Unander (Director of Education, LIM) met with Amelia Estevez Creedon (School Media Specialist, Pulaski Street School) for guidance about the needs of School Media Specialists and Librarians and the role they play in their schools. Together they modeled a museum program that addresses Literacy, Social Justice, Citizenship, Social Emotional Learning (SEL) and Culturally Responsive Sustaining (CR-S) Principles. The resulting program, Vehicles for Change: Elizabeth Jennings and the Fight for Equality on NYC's Streetcars, uses the lens of transportation to explore these curriculum goals through an interactive and thought provoking virtual visit to the carriage galleries at the museum.

49. 'Live' Online - How to be an Instructional Leader in REMOTE AND IN-PERSON Learning Environments Presented by Peter DeWitt, Ed.D.

Program: Eastern Suffolk BOCES Professional Development Program

Audience: Grades K-12 District and Building Administrators

Dates: 12/16/2020

Instructional leadership is one of the most researched forms of leadership, but very little practical insight into how to implement it exists, and many leaders struggle to put it into practice. When COVID-19 hit in 2020 instructional leadership became much more difficult to implement because leaders were separated remotely from teachers and students. Peter will take the research behind instructional leadership, as well as the research he did with hundreds of teacher and students during the pandemic, and dive deeper into six areas that he found is crucial to practices that lead to instructional leadership. That deeper dive involves breaking instructional leadership into six distinct parts, which are implementation, focus 4 learning, instructional strategies, student engagement, efficacy, and evaluation of impact. Leaders need to understand these six areas of instructional leadership, but also need to be provided with time to consider practical ways to implement each one, which also includes understanding implementation science. This session will help meet that need.

93. 'Live' Online - Journey to Phenomena Based Science Instruction During Hybrid Teaching Presented by Brian Vorwald

Program: Eastern Suffolk BOCES Professional Development Program

Audience: Grades K-12 Science Educators and Chairs

The three-dimensional approach of the New York State Science Learning Standards (NYSSLS) places an emphasis on phenomenon-based learning in which students use observations of the natural world to construct their own explanations (for science) or to solve problems (for engineering). Selecting observable, interesting, motivating, and complex phenomenon can drive student inquiry. A goal is student directed, but teacher facilitated, instruction that embeds the three-dimensions in the NYSSLS.

• Characteristics of good phenomena

• Resources to find phenomena

• The difference between an anchor phenomenon and a lesson (instructional) phenomenon and how they are used

• Tools to evaluate phenomenon-based lessons for alignment with 3D teaching

• Lesson planning templates
