We've all seen tech used for the purpose of "an online worksheet". This is NOT that kind of workshop. This workshop will inspire kids to work through productive struggle and trial and error that connects with STEAM. These tools will stimulate curiosity, promote ownership of learning, and spark rich opportunities for mathematical discourse among all learners. In Geogebra, participants will learn how to rotate 2-Dimensional shapes to create a 3D solid of revolution. In Tinkerad, participants will learn how to create figures that can fall, bounce, slide and more. Finally, in the Polypad, participants will build the new aperiodic monotile and discover how this groundbreaking shape is the first one of its kind because it can infinitely tile the plane in a non-repeating fashion. As an added bonus, participants will learn how augmented reality can be incorporated into the math classroom for a memorable wow-factor! | ||||||||||||||||||||

19 | 2 | 5 | The Therapeutic Classroom- Using an Effective Approach | https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1w1n6mROLkBZolomg98Y4ewseXQlS67A_2FrKjJNN-8E/edit#slide=id.g282a7428cf3_0_0 | Hauppauge High School implemented a therapeutic classroom in collaboration with a district partnership, Effective School Solutions, for the 2022-2023 academic year. This specific classroom setting was created to support students who experience various mental health challenges, to be able to receive social, emotional, and academic support within their own school building and district. This supportive environment was created to support high-risk students who experience significant symptoms of Anxiety, Depression, PTSD, Suicidality, Self-Injury, School Avoidance, and more. Since this classroom was implemented, students have experienced an increase in academic achievement, school attendance, and overall well-being and functioning, while also experiencing a decrease in disciplinary referrals, suspensions, and out of district placements. Why did we implement this? Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, mental health struggles have been on the rise for teens across the country. Hauppauge High School wanted to implement a setting that prioritizes student’s mental health needs, while also encouraging students to reach their academic goals and post-graduation plans. When addressing students’ mental health needs first, this leads to student’s being able to access their ability to participate in their own academic success. Recent studies have shown that there is a need for more school-based mental health support for teens. Effective School Solutions recently conducted a nationwide survey with John Zogby Strategies. Zogby Analytics conducted the surveys from October 25, 2022 through November 3, 2022 that consisted of 1,000 parents and 200 school administrators from K-12 schools across the country. The findings from the study show, “both administrators and parents believe that young people’s mental health is in a crisis state, with over 90% of administrators and nearly 60% of parents reporting moderate to severe challenges in their schools.” The study also found that, “while schools have made progress in tackling the youth mental health crisis, 80% of parents believe that schools should play a role in the delivery of mental health and educators say that districts continue to face significant hurdles when it comes to early identification of students with mental health challenges (52%), staffing (50%), and funding (47%).” The Therapeutic classroom functions as follows: Collaboration w/ leadership ● flexible scheduling - academic schedules are built around students’ needs ○ Full day ○ Truncated day and home tutoring as appropriate ○ Push-in services ● Designated administrator as point person in the building/district Classroom ● Designated Special Ed teacher ● Push-in Model with all content teachers - Art, Math, English, Social Studies and Science (with a lab component) and specialized Physical Education ○ For 2023-24 school year, adding German 1 through an SEL lens and an additional Art elective ○ Resume writing and interview practice through building Career Center w/ eye towards job coaching ● Designated TA ● Imagine Learning/Edgenuity ○ Asynchronous platform with content area support ○ Students can self-pace to earn credit and/or work ahead on next course | ||||||||||||||||||||

This presentation will explore how incorporating mindfulness/SEL skills into the daily classroom routines allows students to create habits that will empower them throughout their academic and daily life experiences to their ultimate success and well-being! | ||||||||||||||||||||

25 | 2 | Whitman | Using Complex Picture Books to Inspire Seal of Civic Readiness Projects | https://www.canva.com/design/DAFuK0_dI6c/IoZjX69o2okWOn772PepSg/edit | As teachers begin to prepare their students for the Seal of Civic Readiness, one of the largest questions that looms is, "How will I inspire my students to choose topics that they are passionate about?". As NYSED asks students to demonstrate proficiency in terms of civic knowledge, civic skills, civic mindset, and civic experiences, we also want students to be connected to a topic that will keep their interest and excite them; one way to do this is through the reading of complex picture books. Picture books can uncover interesting and engaging social studies topics in an extraordinary way for students. Join Sarah Cordova and Jim Mendonis as they share profound picture books and reasons why these texts can be the key to unlocking our students' passion for civic responsibility and values. | ||||||||||||||||||||

Bridges students apply to the program and seventh grade and continue with it through twelfth grade, first learning how to share space and communicate, then learning and growing skills to take informed action in their communities. While we had challenges with COVID, we continued to meet virtually. Our goal for the program, now in its third cohort of students, is to have students work on joint passion projects that benefit their communities by the time they reach the upper level of high school.

We will highlight the instructional shifts that need to be in place, explore the Investigations, and provide examples of three-dimensional assessments our students need to be ready for. The NYSSLS has required changes to the way students learn science and the way teachers approach their teaching. In addition, NYSED has created Investigations for both elementary and intermediate level science and are working on them for Regents science courses. Three-dimensional assessments require students to figure out novel phenomena with the scientific knowledge that they have learned.
