Upcoming Workshops
October 27- Differentiation to Enhance Learning
Teachers will explore the assessment of early literacy skills, the implementation of literacy centers, and the use of assessment data for differentiating classroom instruction. Participants will use their available resources to plan for effective literacy centers that meet the needs of their early learners. Teachers will use their assessment data to plan for differentiated instruction in small groups and literacy centers.
November 9 & 10- Organizational Success in the Digital Space
Technology is a powerful tool that, when used properly, can save time, automate processes, and keep a teacher organized. Knowing when and how to use technology should feel comfortable and also enhance the teaching that happens in the classroom. If you are looking to get organized this school year, then this workshop will outline the best ways to leverage technology to make that happen.
Community Spotlight
The ‘WOW’ board, developed for children who need a self-esteem boost, focuses on positive things that happen in your students’ life. Mrs. Noulas, St. Joseph’s School in Garden City, shared her classroom WOW board in a recent PD and shared how it has changed the climate of her classroom. Students can’t wait to have their names on the board as they look for recognition of everyday interactions.
