Motivation and Youth Empowerment

It’s A Marathon….Not A Sprint!
By Tara Brown

With an 18 year extensive holistic background as a certified massage therapist and an educator, Tara has experienced the fatigue, stress, and frustration from both sides of the equation. As true professionals, we have an obligation to ourselves and to our students to be proactive in activities that will keep us at the ‘Top of our Game’… EVERY DAY. Topics such as work environment, nutrition/exercise, the impact of stress and down time and much more will be examined. Knowing the toll that a school year can take on educators emotionally, physically and mentally, this worshop serves as a vital reminder of what is truly important if one is to navigate the challenges and demands that educators experience year in and year out.

Effective Teaching

The Shut-Down Learner: Understanding The Academically Discouraged Child
By Richard Selznick, Dr.

Academic struggling and discouragement can profoundly affect an individual and a family. The typical Shut-Down Learner becomes increasingly insecure and disconnected over time, putting considerable strain on the family, as increased tensions contribute to a downward spiraling of negative communication. There are common themes with most Shut-Down Learners. Many of these kids thrive with hands-on tasks that “load” on visual and spatial abilities. In spite of their early school difficulties, many very successful adults are former shut-down learners. Coming from a variety of different professions, such as entrepreneurs, architects, executives, among others, the most significant variable they share is their talent in the visual spatial dimension of ability, along with their dislike of reading, spelling and writing. Within this workshop Dr. Selznick will discuss the lifespan variables for most Shut-Down Learners, signs to watch for and ways for parents and teachers to intervene.

Audience: All educators, parents, and clinicians

Diagnostic Indicators Of The Stages Of Reading Development. Signposts To Guide Instruction
By Richard Selznick, Dr.

The late, renowned Harvard professor, Dr. Jeanne Chall highlighted a practical model of reading development where she reviewed five stages of reading development. Understanding these stages diagnostically is very powerful for teachers as this understanding leads to a firm roadmap of what the child needs at any given time. Once the stages are fully grasped, then direction with the child becomes much clearer and what would be the most appropriate instructional vehicle for the child. Parents, too, can benefit from this model, as the information can help guide what type of intervention (e.g., style of tutoring) is needed for the child. The workshop will focus on: • What characteristics to look for at each stage. • The indicators that will tell when a child is ready to move to the next stage • How to support development or what works instructionally • Specific diagnostic procedures that teachers can use for any given stage.

Audience: All educators, and parents

Differentiated Learning Strategies
By Noella Piquette-Tomei, Dr.

The foundational belief for differentiation is that all students learn in a variety of ways and have different interests and learning profiles. Differentiating instruction means creating multiple paths so that student of different abilities, interests, or learning needs experience equally appropriate ways to absorb, use, develop, and present concepts as part of the daily learning process. Differentiation allows students to take greater responsibility and ownership for their own learning, and provides opportunities for peer teaching and cooperative learning. In order to best support all learners there are four basic differentiation strategies that must be addressed when planning instructional strategies: content, process, product and environment. These differentiation approaches will be examined in detail with supporting examples throughout this session.

Collaboratively Identifying Student Needs And Interventions
By Noella Piquette-Tomei, Dr.

Educational facilities that successfully include all students must employ a range of strategies and techniques so teachers can gain the support they need. A teacher-helping-teacher strategy has proven to be a dynamic and effective method of creating successful collaborative consultation among educators in their quest to meet student needs. This collaborative effort, entitled the School Resource Team (SRT) proceeds through an orderly sequence of steps from the initial problem to the development and implementation a plan to resolve it. The SRT can become involved in interactive planning, decision-making and problem solving related to individual student concerns or for school wide solution implementation. This session will outline a best practice model for creating a collaborative school resource team with hands on activities for identifying school staff who desire to work productively toward a shared goal of student achievement, issue identification, brainstorming for interventions, evaluation of progress and monitoring of SRT success.

Social Skills

“Mom. Why Won’t Anyone Play With Me?” The Often Unspoken Social Side Of Learning Disabilities & Shut-Down Learners
By Richard Selznick, Dr.

Children with learning disabilities and attention-based disorders often struggle socially. They face a dual challenge that may seem insurmountable - developing competence in both the academic and social arenas. While parents and teachers often focus on the academic deficits of such children, there is frequently an unspoken and largely misunderstood social component to learning disabilities. A multitude of variables contribute to these social problems. Some of these variables include poor recognition of cause & effect, weak “reading” of social signals, impulsivity, and pervasive insecurity. Unfortunately, children with these issues may be perceived as “annoying” or “irritating” by others, leading to further rejection, as being associated with this challenging child is itself a problem to the other children. Helping teachers and parents understand the mechanisms leading to the complex social dynamics with these children is the emphasis of this workshop. An eye toward helping these children navigate difficult social waters with specific skills and strategies will be the focus of the workshop.

Audience: All educators and parents

Social Skill Development In The Classroom
By Noella Piquette-Tomei, Dr.

Effective education requires attention to both the academic and social development of students. Social ability is made up of many interactive components (e.g., communication and role-taking, context, goals, etc.) that are often gained implicitly rather than explicitly. Social skill deficits are often manifested in ways that negatively impact their peers. Typically students will show signs when they are having social difficulties (e.g., aggression, withdrawal) that need to be recognized, monitored and understood. When teachers discover the cause of the social difficulty they are then in a good position to make a decision about a particular social intervention, hence it is important for teachers to consider social assessment and intervention. In this session the focus will be on identifying social ability barriers and effective social skill development techniques. The bulk of the workshop will consist of practical (and fun!) hands on activities that can be introduced in a classroom atmosphere or more intensively with an individual student.

Audience: All educators


Technology

Media Literacy Workshop
Chris Lundberg, Dr.

One of the biggest hurdles young people face in an accelerating world is the challenge of interpreting information from different, often conflicting, media outlets. This session will explore media literacy techniques that teach students to unpack and critically examine information they receive from a variety of media. When students build an understanding of how persuasive techniques work, they are able to challenge and critically evaluate information rather than being passive receivers of information.

English Language

Assessment Strategies For Reading Development
By Noella Piquette-Tomei, Dr.

The development of each of processes required for literacy or reading (e.g., vocabulary development, phonological awareness, listening comprehension, emergent text concept, word identification, etc.) are not discrete but are interrelated and dependent on the knowledge of other processes. Research indicates that reading is an interaction between the reader and the written language, through which the reader connects the writer’s message with one’s background knowledge. This definition of reading implies that the learner is actively involved in the reading process, indicating a monitoring and development of skill. The multiple integrated processes involved in literacy often require modifications of materials, strategies, or instruction for struggling learners but the student’s engagement or monitoring may not be considered in the modification. This workshop will identify strategies to support student development of metacognition of their mental processes in order to monitor, regulate, and direct themselves while developing their reading skills. Furthermore, an overview of effective and appropriate reading assessments will be provided to understand how the student processes information and then to select strategies to enhance student’s literacy development.

Classroom Management

“We Keep Telling Him You’ve Got To Get Organized…You’ve Got To Get Organized.” Understanding Executive Function Deficits In Practical terms
By Richard Selznick, Dr.

Underlying the profile of many struggling children are core weaknesses with the processes that involve planning, initiating, organizing and sustaining interest in complex tasks. Weaknesses with these skills are being viewed more in the literature as deficits with “executive” tasks or functions. Children with executive function deficits are seen as disconnected, disorganized, scattered, forgetful, unprepared, and unable to independently see a project through to completion. Particular problems surface when the child is asked to perform a task such as the completion of an open-ended writing assignment. Homework battles are also a part of the landscape for families whose children struggle with these abilities. Executive function deficits do not go away and there are no known easy answers. However, with sensible management and a shift in perspective many of the issues of concern can be minimized. Shifting parents and teachers from seeing the child as lacking motivation as the primary problem, is the first step. A number of other strategies will also be reviewed in this workshop.

ثلاثة أسس ضروريّة في تعليم الرياضيات
المحاضر: طارق هرموش

جرت العادة أن يقوم معلّم الرياضيات بتقديم قاعدة الدرس، ثم يطرح أسئلة تطبيقية على هذه القاعدة، وفي بعض الحالات يقدم للدرس عبر نشاط ينفذّه مع التلاميذ، ثم يستلم زمام المبادرة ويستخلص القاعدة. ويترك للتلاميذ حل التمارين والمسائل الموجودة في الكتاب المقرر!
نحن بحاجة إلى منهجية عمل واضحة، بحاجة لأن نغيير نظرتنا للرياضيات، بحاجة إلى اتباع طرق واستراتيجيات منسجمة مع نتائج الأبحاث الجديدة في مجال أبحاث الدماغ، بحاجة إلى معرفة الأسس الضروريّة في تعليم الرياضيات.

كثيرًا ما يقال إنّ مادّة الرّياضيّات جامدة. وكثيرًا ما نسمع نحنُ المعلّمين والمعلّمات التّلاميذ يتأفّفون: لماذا ندرس هذا المفهوم؟ وكيف نحفظ هذا القانون؟
ولذا نسأل: هل الرّياضيّات مادّة جامدة؟ وهل ثمّة مفاهيم وقوانين رياضيّة صعبة؟
إنّ الدّراسات والأبحاث والتّجارب الميدانيّة تؤكّد أنّ الرّياضيّات مادّة مَرِنة وهي مرتبطة بالحياة ارتباطًا وثيقًا. فكيف نكسر الجمود في تعليم هذه المادّة؟ وكيف نحوّل حصّة الرّياضيّات إلى متعة وفرح؟
هذه الأسئلة تجيب عنها، من خلال نشاطات حيويّة، ورشة "كَسْر الجمود".

الحساب الذّهني أم الآلة الحاسبة؟
المحاضر: طارق هرموش

كثيرًا ما نسمع الجملة التالية " الآلة الحاسبة تبلّد الذّهن"، وأطفلنا بحاجة إلى تشغيل دماغهم وليس إلى آلة حاسبة تقوم بإجراء الحسابات وتحل محل العقل!
وعلى المقلب الآخر ينادي معظم التربويون، والمجلس الوطني لمعلّمي الرياضيات (NCTM) إلى استخدام الآلة الحاسبة كعنصر أساسي في تعليم الرياضيات.
أمام هذا الواقع نرى أنّ الدليل هو خير برهان وهو الفيصل في حل هذه المعضلة.
سوف تجدون الدليل عند حضوركم ورشة العمل التي تحمل العنوان: الحساب الذّهني أم الآلة الحاسبة؟
