SUMMARY:Supporting Executive Function Through Mindfulness and Emotional Regulation Virtual 3-hour session presented by Melanie Anderson / Slice of Mindfulness-8:30-11:30am
DESCRIPTION:Many students struggle with attention\, organization\, flexibility\, task initiation\, and self-control\, and those challenges are often intensified by stress\, dysregulation\, and overwhelm. This 3-hour summer live virtual institute helps educators understand how mindfulness\, emotional regulation\, and executive functioning work together to support student success and more effective classroom learning. Participants will gain a practical overview of the eight core executive functions\, explore how executive functioning challenges often present in students with ADHD\, and learn classroom strategies that support attention\, planning\, organization\, flexibility\, and self-regulation. Grounded in the belief that regulation comes before higher-level learning\, the institute includes mindfulness practices\, Collaborative Problem Solving\, classroom routines\, and simple data collection tools that help reduce overwhelm and build student agency. Designed for general education teachers\, special education teachers\, ENL teachers\, teaching assistants\, aides\, and support staff\, this live virtual institute provides practical\, immediately usable tools for supporting a wide range of learners. Eligible for 3 hours CTLE credit. Can use 1/2 Consortium seat. If district pays\, district approval must be confirmed prior to start of session.\nFlyer: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1DsWqB9LmaMSs7xJ1Q1fHCHxmVFZ9YC3O/view?usp=sharing\nRegistration: https://www.mylearningplan.com/WebReg/ActivityProfile.asp?D=13208&I=5385392

DESCRIPTION:This full day session gives primary educators the practical\, research aligned tools needed to launch the school year with confidence in a Science of Reading classroom. Designed for new teachers\, special educators\, those transitioning into early grades\, literacy coaches\, and administrators\, this crash course focuses on what matters most in the first weeks of school. Participants will build a clear understanding of how children learn to read\, grounded in the Simple View of Reading and the essential components of effective instruction: phonemic awareness\, systematic phonics\, decodable text practice\, vocabulary\, knowledge building read alouds\, and writing that supports foundational skills. Educators will learn actionable routines they can implement immediately\, including: -Explicit phonics lessons with clear modeling -Daily blending\, segmenting\, and phoneme manipulation practice -Small group structures that target skill needs -Effective use of decodable texts aligned to taught skills -Building knowledge and language comprehension through rich read alouds\, vocabulary routines\, and content based discussions -Launching sound walls and oral language routines By the end of the session\, participants will leave with high impact instructional routines and a clear understanding of the essential components needed to establish strong\, evidence based literacy instruction from the very start of the school year. Audience: K-2 classroom teachers\, ELL teachers\, special educators\, literacy coaches and administrators Eligible for 6 hours CTLE credit. If district pays\, district approval must be confirmed prior to start of session.\nFlyer:  https://drive.google.com/file/d/1yeNA9RQUXmYxzLS2-vUw7jWAU5qSJF0u/view?usp=sharing\nRegistration: https://www.mylearningplan.com/WebReg/ActivityProfile.asp?D=13208&I=5392355

SUMMARY:ASYNCHRONOUS Mental Health Literacy for K-12 Educators and School Counselors- Flexible Online Professional Learning with Live Virtual Coaching- 15 Hours
DESCRIPTION:Educators are being asked to address growing student mental health needs\, including rising anxiety\, while also implementing the New York State Mental Health Education Standards in practical\, manageable ways. This 15-hour professional learning experience helps educators understand those standards and translate them into practical strategies that respond to student anxiety\, support emotional regulation\, and strengthen connection and readiness to learn. Participants will explore the New York State Mental Health Education Standards\, classroom-based approaches to mental health literacy\, and practical tools that can be authentically woven into everyday school practice. Participants can move through the course on a timeline that works best for them\, with one year of access from the date of purchase\, making it easier for districts to offer meaningful professional learning without requiring substitute coverage. This is not a passive online PD. It is a structured learning experience that combines flexible online coursework with onboarding support and direct access to the instructor through live virtual coaching. In addition to the course content\, participants have access to 10 live virtual coaching sessions offered throughout the year for questions\, reflection\, and implementation support. This makes the course especially valuable for educators seeking professional learning that is flexible\, supported\, and immediately relevant to classroom practice. Eligible for 15 hours CTLE credit. Can use 1-1/2 Consortium seats. If district pays\, district approval must be confirmed prior to start of session.\nFlyer: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1UM2cDau8lQxNIfj0nOMWOziko0BOQEZ3/view?usp=sharing\nRegistration: https://www.mylearningplan.com/WebReg/ActivityProfile.asp?D=13208&I=5385175

SUMMARY:Beyond the Plateau: Science-Based Fluency Strategies for the Classroom *IN PERSON* facilitated by Lauren Kolbeck Szulc - 8:30-2:30pm
DESCRIPTION:Audience: Classroom teachers grades 1-6\, reading teachers\, literacy coaches\, ELL teachers and administrators Are your students “stuck in the middle of the bridge”-able to decode but lacking the automaticity needed to truly comprehend and enjoy what they read? This full-day\, interactive workshop equips educators with a comprehensive Science of Reading-aligned toolbox designed specifically for the needs of developing readers. We’ll redefine fluency as the integration of accuracy\, appropriate rate\, and prosody-the essential gateway to deep comprehension. Participants will: -Implement the “Read Like Us” protocol -Apply scaffolding techniques in small group instruction to provide all students access to complex\, grade-level text. -Design and curate text sets that promote wide reading and develop academic vocabulary. -Use ORF and WCPM data to make informed instructional decisions\, targeting appropriate fluency benchmarks rather than speed alone. The afternoon session focuses on maximizing the impact of small group instruction. Participants will practice delivering immediate\, targeted feedback and using strategies such as listening passage previews to support students with challenging texts. By shifting from finding the “perfect level” to designing the right scaffold\, educators can ensure every student reaches the doorway to comprehension. Eligible for 6 hours CTLE credit. If district pays\, district approval must be confirmed prior to start of session.\nFlyer: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1BEC1LchIJyeIyXJ7je9eiy6VDD_pqLWo/view?usp=sharing\nRegistration: https://www.mylearningplan.com/WebReg/ActivityProfile.asp?D=13208&I=5392830
