This course provides a critical overview of the forces (historical, legal, financial, organizational, and philosophical) that provide for the foundation of education. It will provide a forum for students to examine, debate and speculate about the controversies that impact schools and teachers now and into the future. These basic concepts of education are examined from the diverse perspectives of race, gender, disabilities, and language learners. Aspects of education such as funding, instructional strategies, and due process procedures will be examined for their impact on social justice concerns such as equity and access, alternative ways of knowing, funds of knowledge, and other cultural factors as they impinge on the learning process. The role of the teacher as facilitator of critical thinking and as promoter of socially responsible action in the society will be considered. 10 hours of fieldwork required.

(WKS PROF190) - Technology has the power to fundamentally change and even reinvent how instruction is delivered, as well as how we provide appropriate instruction for students with a wide variety of needs. However, technology, like any other tool, requires knowing how and when to use it in order to maximize its efficacy and provide opportunities for true inquiry.

NYSUT ELT for a 7 Hour Online Seminar - Crafting Inclusive Lessons for Linguistically Diverse Learners (WKS ELL46) - Section 1

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
In a highly political climate of compliance in schools and a growing diversity in schools, teachers are required more than ever to implement culturally sustaining evidenced-based models of support that address the needs of students who are English language learners (ELLs) and those with disabilities. In the past, teachers have waited for students to fail before referring them to the student support team in their schools. Today, MTSS offers a prevention approach rather that a “wait to fail” method as it provides appropriate and responsive instruction for multilingual learners (MLLs) with and without disabilities in schools. In this seminar, you will look at how MTSS offers a tiered system of culturally-sustaining instructional practices, data-informed problem solving and academic and linguistic progress monitoring to address the needs of all learners, specifically those of multilingual learners with disabilities.

Violence, anger, and disruptive behaviors are negatively impacting the well-being of our staff and students in the school environment. A school's culture and climate are the primary indicators of student achievement and behavior. When students and staff are connected to the school through its culture, everyone thrives. Current systems in NYS such as the Safe Schools Against Violence in Education (SAVE) legislation, the Dignity for All Students Act (DASA), local Codes of Conduct, district safety plans, and workplace protections serve to support all stakeholders in a school community. De-escalation techniques and conflict resolution practices comprise the next level of restoring community in a school so educators can safely work to support students so they can learn.

Learning Objectives

Summer Institute participants will grapple with the many ways in which race and ethnicity matter in teaching and learning and how to design racially and culturally diverse educational settings in which all students can learn from each other. Challenging issues and topics to be covered include racial identity, racial and cultural literacy, multicultural education, culturally relevant pedagogy, addressing racial politics, and how implicit biases affect leadership and teaching in diverse schools.
Key Takeaways:
Participants will:

witness examples of rigorous, joyful learning and development that engages all students and fosters the educational benefits of diversity for all students

develop strategies to tap into the insights and knowledge of diverse groups of students

facilitate dialogues among students, staff and parents about issues of race

understand racial identities within racially diverse contexts

develop culturally relevant curriculum and pedagogy

improve achievement outcomes for all students

learn to build community and engage parents

center the knowledge and understandings of racially, ethnically and culturally diverse learners, including those not measured on standardized tests

promote the educational and social advantages of racially, ethnically and culturally diverse schools

learn to connect with social service and health care providers to foster a more racially and socio-economically just educational system

work towards a plan to bring this knowledge back to your own schools and communities

Attendee Participation:
The Institute includes several plenary sessions that foster greater understanding of issues related to race and ethnicity in the U.S.; racial and cultural literacy; multicultural education; culturally sustaining leadership; and student critiques.

Participants will also engage in daily small-group dialogue sessions with attendees from different educational roles and professional positions, as well as different locations, to connect these macro themes to their context. Time will be spent each day on how to take back new learning to apply in participants' schools, classrooms and communities.

They will also participate in professional development workshops led by Teachers College faculty and other noted education leaders. Participants will sign up for workshops ahead of time.

Plenaries and Pool Party small-group dialogue sessions will be live streamed and can be watched in real time (synchronized) remotely. Afternoon plenaries will be offered either live streamed or taped (asynchronous). Workshops will be live streamed the week of July 14 and recorded workshops will be available through July 31.

After the Institute, participants can continue to dialogue via a private online forum designed to foster thoughtful exchanges on difficult topics.

Who Should Attend

The Reimagining Education Summer Institute is designed to help all educators and educational leaders - in public, private, charter schools and higher education - learn how to address the racial hierarchies and antiblackness that have shaped our educational system and strive to create truly integrated schools and classrooms that tap into the educational benefits of racial and ethnic diversity. This professional development Institute is designed primarily for teachers, school administrators, district officials, parents, and graduate students in education and all others who are interested in addressing the deep-seated racial inequalities and injustices in our educational system that have been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic and ongoing challenges faced by students, teachers and schools.

For individuals who attended prior Summer Institutes, we have consciously designed a program to give you the opportunity to take your learning on critical topics to a deeper level, and to continue your work on a plan to implement your new insights in your schools and communities.
Demand for the Institute
Demographic, geographic, and attitudinal shifts call out for new and innovative ways of providing novice and veteran educators with the tools necessary to educate and empower a more diverse student body to engage with a global economy and society. We provide a place to reimagine and replace old practices and curricula that reinforces racial inequalities, segregation and antiblackness.

This Institute combines the expertise of Teachers College faculty, other faculty from around the country, and P-12 public and private school teachers, administrators, parents and students from the New York City metro region and across the US. Together, we will explore innovative ways to better prepare educators for a more racially and ethnically diverse student population.

Upon Completion

Participants who successfully complete this course will receive a Certificate of Participation (1.5 Continuing Education Units (CEUs) or 15 Clock Hours).

Licensed educators in NY state are also eligible for a Continuing Teacher Leader Education (CTLE) certificate for a total of 15 CTLE hours.

A Message From Your Seminar Leader

Dear Colleague:

Had anyone told me when I became an English teacher that I would be using Artificial Intelligence tools to level-up my practice many years later I wouldn't have believed them. But as I told my students just yesterday, the incredible thing about being a teacher is that it's never boring and always evolving!

I am so excited to share the best of what I've learned about maximizing the potential of AI as an English teacher. I've been using AI extensively, consistently, and daily for some time in my teaching practice. You'll soon see how these AI tools are full of surprises and potential to strengthen what we do. Whether you're chomping at the bit and ready to dive in or wishing the world was moving a bit slower, I know you'll leave this seminar feeling excited, equipped, and eager to bring AI into your own ELA classroom.

In our day together, we'll unpack the essentials and learn how to "chat well" with AI. We'll explore how to use AI tools in timesaving ways for curriculum design purposes, instructional planning, and assessment work. You'll also learn how to situate AI as a learning partner that deepens students' critical thinking, offers thoughtful feedback, and provides examples and invitations to learn on demand.

Our time will be largely devoted to the exploration of tangible tools and practical protocols that you will be able to use immediately the moment you return to your classroom. We'll also take care to explore potential pitfalls to avoid and solutions to ethical concerns regarding the use of AI-powered tools in the ELA classroom.

I can't wait to help you take full advantage of the incredible opportunities that AI offers all of us who love teaching secondary ELA students. Bring your ideas, your questions, and your worries with you. We'll workshop them together. See you soon!

Sincerely,
Angela Stockman
P.S. You will leave this seminar energized and excited with many new and effective ways to strengthen your ELA students' learning and enhance your own productivity using AI.
