NYSUT Education & Learning Trust is an approved sponsor of Continuing Teacher and Leadership Education (CTLE) hours.

What will school schedules look like when the new academic year commences in September? Which teaching methods are appropriate for continued school building closure? How can teachers compensate for the “COVID melt” or the “COVID slide” and meet students where they are academically and take them where they need to go? Whether based on the effects of trauma, the impact of the digital divide or differences in access to educational supports, any lost learning time from distance-learning is detrimental to students and will worsen if not immediately addressed.
ELT has compiled a lengthy list of valuable training, from graduate courses to in-person and online seminars, on critical topics so educators are prepared to engage, instruct, assess, and support students where they are.

• Assessment as a Tool - determining where students are and where they need to be.
• Differentiating Instruction and Curriculum for Learner Needs - meeting the learning needs of all students, including vulnerable students who may have had limited or insufficient exposure to remote learning opportunities.
• Interdisciplinary Teaching - bringing curricular programming into line to meet students where they are and transitioning students from online/remote learning back to in-person learning in a classroom.
• Social Emotional Supports - addressing the emotional and mental health needs of students and staff and providing support, as needed.
• Technology Training - equipping teachers with the knowledge and skills to expand the possibilities for teaching and learning.

In compliance with New York State Education Department, NYSUT Education & Learning Trust has been approved as a sponsor to provide professional development for Continuing Teacher Leader Education (CTLE) hours.

As students and educators gear up for the 2020-2021 school year, they will be forever changed by the COVID-19 pandemic. Schools must support the emotional well-being of students so learning can begin. Teachers require technology that is responsive and flexible for student-centered learning, whether that is fully online, in person or a mix of both. ELT is rolling out training to empower educators to successfully engage with students across multiple teaching models.

Designed for all educators in the school community, Transforming the Lives of Students with Trauma-Informed Schools addresses how trauma and adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) impact students’ abilities to form trusting relationships, learn new concepts and self-regulate their behaviors in and out of school. The impact of early trauma on brain development and early attachment will be explored. While the topics addressed are relevant for supporting and sustaining the needs of ALL students, time will be spent examining trauma specifically experienced by ELLs such as the impact of prior experiences, pre-flight, flight and post-flight, and how to create a safe and supportive environment that is conducive to learning. The ideas presented will provide a new lens through which to see maladaptive behaviors and provide the necessary tools and strategies to support student healing and growth, both academically and social-emotionally.

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. In Redesigning Teaching Through Instructional Technology, you will explore K-12 appropriate models for working with ALL students (e.g. ELLs and students with disabilities), demonstrating when and how to strategically use technology in any scenario (e.g. classroom, hybrid, distance learning, etc.), as well as standards-based best practices for fundamentally redesigning instruction using technology across the curriculum. NOTE: This training will mainly focus on the purposeful and strategic deployment of technology to transform instruction. The online seminar, “Web-based Tools to Boost Instruction in the Classroom, Hybrid, and Distance/Remote Learning Scenarios”, will provide participants the opportunity to learn about and practice with web-based tools and digital learning resources.

In an ever-shifting political and regulatory environment, teachers have more responsibility than ever before to not only teach but advocate for ELLs and their families. Advocating for ELLs Within the Scope of State and Federal Law will familiarize participants with laws and regulations regarding ENL education both historically and in the present day, as well as those laws and regulations that are germane to many ELLs and their families, including but not limited to issues related to immigration and civil rights. Furthermore, participants will learn of support services available to ELLs and best practices in advocacy.
