I&RS Programming at the SRI&ETTC
Structuring Your I&RS Team for a Successful Year
July 25, 2023
An I&RS team provides the school with an institutionalized mechanism and comprehensive strategy for enabling staff and families or caregivers to collaborate systematically over time. This collaboration requires careful planning and maintenance to become an integral and valued part of the educational system. A strong I&RS team is necessary for an I&RS system to work effectively in a school.
This session will define the characteristics of an effective team while providing administrators with recommendations for team composition. Team member roles and responsibilities will be clarified. In addition, this session will identify the support needed for I&RS team operations from the board of education, central office administrators, building administrators, and school staff. Participants will learn the best practices for collaborative decision-making. The relationship of I&RS teams to other building-based groups will be explored. Finally, participants will explore appropriate models for I&RS functions.

Build Equity through Choice Boards
June 14, 2023
All students should have access to complex problems and rigorous tasks that stimulate their motivation and engagement. Choice Boards are a way of organizing resources and learning tasks for students as well as offers students the opportunity to go beyond the curriculum. With choice board learning, students must actively participate to work towards self-directed learning. Teachers intentionally design choice boards to provide a more play-like approach that offers flexibility in terms of how students share their learning outcomes through multi-modalities. Participants will uncover the benefits, standards-based design, differentiation techniques, and explore activities that cater to every learning style, such as visual, auditory, read-write, and kinesthetic.

Taming your Gmail for Administrators and Support Staff
June 15, 2023
We all know how to send and receive emails, even send attachments, but most of us allow our Gmail inboxes to become cluttered and confusing. Many of us don't use some of the time saving efficiency tools that this cutting edge mail client provides. This workshop will reveal many of the commonly unused components of Gmail that will help you better organize your correspondence and help you keep your inbox more manageable and you more on-task.

Using Data to Drive Instruction
August 3, 2023
As educators, we need to constantly use data to drive instruction. However, that can be easier said than done. In this workshop, we will share some user-friendly strategies that work, including:
- Looking for trends in the data to plan whole class lessons;
- Looking at individual scores to form small groups;
- Collecting additional data on a regular basis; and,
- Sharing the results with students to develop ownership and a growth mindset.
These strategies are designed to save educators time while using data to drive instruction.

Programming for School Administrators at the SRI&ETTC - Summer 2023
Danielson for New Administrators, July 27, 2023
This workshop will focus on developing a working knowledge of the Danielson Framework with exploration of the four domains and their components. Practice with collecting ample evidence, scoring the observation, and conducting the post-observation conference will be provided.
School Law Bootcamp for School Administrators, August 1 & 2, 2023
Today's school leaders work in a dynamic, fast-paced school law environment, and administrators are challenged to keep up with the changes. Administrators will review legal standards on HIB, Student Rights, Employer and Employee Rights, and Special Education.
The HIB Including Social Media module will focus on the new HIB regulations and review relevant school law cases. The module will focus on student rights and responsibilities, including constitutional rights such as freedom of speech, disciplinary actions, social media, 24/7 rule, student athletic contracts, and transgender rights. In this module we will also review Special Education with a concentration on the district's roles and responsibilities, 504 Plans, IEP Plans, home-instruction and graduation.
The New Legal Considerations in K-12 module will discuss laws and regulations regarding school closure, virtual instruction, and what powers/tools districts have to address emergency situations. The Employer and Employee Rights module will focus on employer and employee rights and responsibilities, including constitutional rights such as freedom of speech, disciplinary actions, grievances, tenure charges, non-renewals, and reductions in force. This interactive workshop will review the tenure charge process, concentrating on the district's roles and responsibilities, as well as review the legal standards and discuss proper documentation.
Danielson Refresher for Experienced Administrators, August 16, 2023
This workshop will focus on enhancing use of and addressing common challenges using the Danielson framework. Topics include determining a score when evidence falls between levels, con-ducting post-observation conferences, building inter-rater reliability, and working with your faculty leadership teams (e.g. DEAC, ScIP). Additionally, utilizing the framework for instructional improvement will be explored.
Making the Mentoring Process More Meaningful, August 17, 2023
Effective May 5, 2014, the NJ Teacher Mentoring Regulations have been amended to better align with the TEACHNJ Act, and specifies that mentors need training prior to working with novice teachers and guiding experienced teachers that are new to the district.
In this workshop, mentors will explore the mentoring process and understand the requirements for working with novice teachers. Practical strategies, skills, information, and resources will be discussed that will help them to successfully mentor novice teachers and positively impact their professional growth. Through role playing, communication skills, and knowledge of adult learning principles, mentor teachers will be provided with resources that will not only help them to become effective mentors and role models, but will also expand their own professional expertise.

THE SEI ONLNE
A Free 15-Hour Course on Sheltered English Instruction
Developed by the SRI&ETTC Funded by the NJ Department of Education
| |
|
Educating students who still are acquiring English proficiency can be complex in an age of high stakes evaluations and assessments as well as college and career-ready standards. English language learners (ELLs) are not monolithic in their educational background, cultural experiences, and ability to adapt to learning environments. However, through well-planned instruction, ELLs can attain challenging academic standards.
