Self-regulation training focuses on teaching students how to regulate their own emotions and behaviors. The Self-Regulation Training System is a simple, organized method for teaching children and teens these skills. When a young person is lacking in the ability to control emotions and behaviors, negative outcomes are easily observable. Giving students the tools to improve their Self-Regulation skills can help them better handle:

• Academic challenges • Classroom behavior issues • Anger issues • Self-esteem struggles • Anxiety • Defiance • Social Difficulties • Impulsiveness

Learning Objectives: • Develop a level of understanding of the Self-Regulation framework sufficient for teaching it to

students and presenting it to parents. • Apply step-by-step strategies/activities to teach young people how to increase Self-Regulation

including: Cooling the Flame, My Warning Signs, Melting Freeze, You Can’t Make Me Laugh, Free Emotional Expression, Challenge Software Program, Defiance Trap

• Organize and implement strategies in a way that is most effective for addressing many social/emotional, behavioral and academic problem areas including: anger and oppositional behavior, depression & anxiety, academic performance, chronic impulsiveness, ADHD, motivation, learned helplessness, bullying & other school safety issues

• Access, monitor and report measurable outcomes from the application of Self-Regulation strategies presented in this seminar

Schools that have successfully implemented RTI/MTSS to address mental health have developed clear procedures at Tiers 1, 2, and 3; defined RTI/MTSS roles for every staff member in the building, created a written plan outlining the scope and timeline for rolling out RTI/MTSS for mental health, and have provided staff with regular informational RTI/MTSS updates. This 3-session series offers schools the opportunity to learn about recent advances in RTI/MTSS for mental health and to map out the steps needed to advance RTI/MTSS in their buildings. Participating schools or districts will send teams of 3 or more to attend the three-session series. These topics will be covered:

• Session 1 – RTI/MTSS for Mental Health: Master the Model. This training applies the RTI/MTSS model to behavior and mental health programming to answer this question: How can a school’s services be organized across Tiers to provide the most efficient and effective support to students with significant behavioral/mental health needs? The workshop opens with guidance to organize school-wide behavioral/mental health resources into a coherent and effective 3-Tier RTI/MTSS model. The training next looks at the elements of positive class-wide management that create supportive environments for students at-risk for behavioral/mental health problems. This training session concludes with a survey of research-based programs and practices beyond the classroom (Tiers 2 and 3) that schools can adopt to provide supplemental and intensive services to students with significant mental health needs.

• Session 2 – RTI/MTSS for Mental Health: Write Classroom Support Plans. This training provides a toolkit of specific positive strategies that teachers can employ to manage the behaviors and mental-health needs of individual students. Participants will receive a sample Classroom Support Plan form (in Google Docs format) that educators can use to document their intervention efforts. The workshop will provide a ‘toolkit’ that teachers can use to:

o prevent problem behaviors o prompt and reinforce appropriate behaviors o manage and minimize those problem behaviors that do occur

• Session 3 – RTI/MTSS for Mental Health: Follow the Data. This workshop explores the use of data in identifying and providing school RTI/MTSS support to students with mental health needs. The training first reviews protocols and tools that schools can use to screen all students for behavioral/mental health risk. Participants then learn about a variety of data-collection methods to track the behaviors of specific students on RTI/MTSS mental-health support plans. The workshop concludes with a discussion of how to set clear outcome goals, graph, and interpret individual students’ behavioral data to determine if they are responding to behavioral/mental health interventions.

The NYS Next Generation Standards have given teachers much to think about when it comes to effective and engaging reading instruction for their students. Having students engage in book clubs allows them to truly deepen their comprehension of books while also allowing them to express their own ideas and opinions on a variety of topics. As students talk about books, they become more confident speakers, more willing to take risks, and learn how to be responsible and accountable for their work.

Discussions will include: • The many benefits of book clubs • Ways in which you form/manage book clubs in a Reader’s Workshop • Various handouts that support discussion and independence • Possible genres/texts that work well with book clubs

Participants will leave the workshop knowing how to fully implement books clubs into their classrooms.

SESSION 3: Digging Deeper into the Next Generation ALGEBRA II Learning Standards and Lessons for the Classroom Workshop Series





This two-day workshop is intended for educators who have a basic understanding of the NYSSLS and are looking for the next steps so they can transition to the pedagogical shift inherent in the standards. Phenomenon-based immersion activities will be used to unpack and review how the three dimensions (3D) are integrated into teaching and learning. Participants will correlate the Living Environment Core Curriculum with the High School NYSSLS. They will select a content area common to both standards and design a phenomenon-based 3D formative assessment task. Participants will identify phenomena that can be used for developing lessons aligned with performance expectations. The primary focus of day 2 will be a deeper dive into constructing 3D phenomenon-based lessons aligned to both the core curriculum and the NYSSLS. Participants in this two-day training will take away:

• A deeper understanding of the NYSSLS in their content area; • The capacity to share their understanding of NY State P-12 Science Learning Standards with other

teachers; • Skills and knowledge to:

o Delve into the NYSSLS Performance Expectations and begin designing lessons aligned with phenomena and 3D learning;

o Take current materials and adapt them for 3D teaching and learning; o Address the instructional needs of all students;

• A working knowledge of available curriculum design and evaluation tools; • Lessons developed by workshop participants; and • Resources for planning a transition to a NYSSLS aligned curriculum.

NOTE: Bring your own device. For greater collaboration it is suggested that schools be represented by two or more participants.

The Socratic Seminar model is a question-based way to foster close reading and text-centered conversations among students. These text-centered conversations can then form the evidence for written arguments and interpretations of literature and historical documents. This workshop will give participants a chance to explore the seminar format, select appropriate texts, evaluate student participation, promote academic vocabulary, and provide supportive, meaningful feedback for oral communication. Supportive, meaningful feedback for Socratic Seminar participation includes having students develop their own goals for expressing their ideas and responding to the ideas of others as well as being a socially appropriate listener in a seminar. We will address the three dimensions of feedback that researcher John Hattie promotes: Where am I going? How am I progressing? and What are my next steps? Those who have already taken this workshop are welcome to return to share their successes and challenges and advance their skills. This workshop is recommended to grades 6-12, English and Social Studies teachers, and others who incorporate rich, interesting readings in their classrooms.

How many times have you asked yourself one of the following questions, “Why don’t my students remember what I just taught them yesterday/last week/last month?” Come join learning and study skills expert, Judy Dodge, who will introduce you to new brain-based research to improve student retention of knowledge. Bringing together the research of John Hattie, Marilee Sprenger, Robert Marzano, and David Sousa, among others, this workshop will explore how the brain works to make knowledge retrievable in new situations. Biggs (1999) defines good teaching as the encouragement of a deep approach to learning (p.3). Participants in this workshop will leave with many new strategies for helping students move from surface learning (a head stuffed with facts) to deep acquisition and deep consolidation of learning. Among the strategies to be investigated are: Concept Mapping, Student-Led Discussions and Questioning, Metacognitive Strategies, including feedback to the learner, Reciprocal Teaching, and Academic Log Notebooks. Leave with understanding of how to make knowledge “sticky” as a result of deeper learning.

**Attendees should bring a text that they use in class.**

An included copy of the book, Core Instructional Routines (6-12), (Heinemann, 2015) will provide participants additional resources.

The V.I.C.T.O.R.Y formula is a strategic psychological compass created to facilitate a calculated route to success, personal and professional growth. It is designed to fit the career-seeking woman looking for a thorough and dramatic upgrade towards her greatest achievement. This formula solves two problems: influences level of thought beyond common sense thinking for upbound transition and provide strategies that bridge the gap between where you are and where you need to be.

The objective of this workshop is to teach, present, show and facilitate the learning of the V.I.C.T.O.R.Y Formula. The formula is a psychological punch facilitating: (1) seven thinking strategies (personal vision is an example) that help individuals/entrepreneurs organize, drive change, and directs an action-oriented mindset towards goal achievement, (2) Seven enduring qualities (confidence at the center) that can be mastered and cultivated for personal growth/development, bridging the gap between where they are and where they need to be in terms of life, career or business. This gap is bridged by highlighting low/high self-efficacy as the vehicle driving individuals on minimum street or maximum street. This formula helps create lasting change and self-improvement through the tapping of untapped potential.

Participants will correlate the Intermediate Level Core Curriculum with the Middle School NYSSLS. They will select a content area common to both standards and design a phenomenon-based 3D formative assessment task. Participants will identify phenomena that can be used for developing lessons aligned with performance expectations.

As we approach the premier offerings of the Global History and Geography II Regents in June 2019 and the new US History & Government Regents in June 2020, it is imperative that students in grades K-6 acquire and improve upon the Social Studies Skills presented and incorporated in the Social Studies Framework K-6. This session will introduce K-6 teachers to strategies that will assist in planning instruction with the Social Studies Skills in mind, whether the instruction is interdisciplinary or Social Studies focused. Participants are urged to bring a personal electronic device (tablet or laptop) for their use during this session to plan future instruction.
