Each session builds on the last\, allowing for reflection\, adjustment based on district needs\, and practical application in classrooms. Session 1: Thursday\, October 29\, 2026 Understanding Factors influencing Challenging Student Behavior. Discussion will focus on developing awareness of environmental external factors as well as internal child factors that serve as triggers for challenging behavior Session 2: Tuesday\, December 1\, 2026 Function Based Thinking: Discussion will focus on the use of a systematic approach known as the Behavior Chain to analyze the triggers and the purposes behind the use of challenging behavior and subsequently develop responses and interventions. This approach will empower classroom staff to begin the process of developing interventions on their own in a timely manner while helping clinicians develop effective and compliant FBA/BIP documents Session 3: Wednesday\, January 27\, 2027 Adapting Instruction to Address Behavior: Discussion will focus on the relationship between instructional practices as a trigger for problematic student behavior. Instructional strategies will be shared to make learning more accessible for struggling students. Session 4: Thursday\, March 4\, 2027 Reflection: Discussion will focus on knowledge gained during previous sessions and classroom implementation successes and challenges.

While it is less commonly discussed than dyslexia or ADHD\, dyscalculia affects a significant portion of the student population\, and its impact can be profound when left unrecognized or unsupported. This workshop begins by defining dyscalculia and distinguishing it from general math difficulties. Participants will explore how dyscalculia presents across age groups\, understand the cognitive processes involved in math learning\, and identify the core deficits that characterize this learning difference. Through a blend of real-life examples\, hands-on activities\, and strategy demonstrations\, educators will gain the tools and confidence needed to support students with dyscalculia in inclusive and specialized settings. Eligible for 3 hours CTLE credit.

The Global Community Architects initiative is designed to bridge the gap between local K-12 classrooms and the broader world\, serving as a direct vehicle to realize the core competencies outlined in the New York State Portrait of a Graduate. By integrating cross-cultural academic exchange\, collaborative inquiry-based thinking\, and the productive navigation of artificial intelligence\, this initiative creates a seamless educational thread from elementary curiosity to high school civic action. Grounded in the principles of interdisciplinary project-based learning and driven by evidence-based peer mentorship among both students and educators\, this framework ensures that every learner develops the cultural competence\, critical thinking\, and effective communication skills necessary to thrive in an interconnected global society. Alignment with the NYS Portrait of a Graduate -Critical Thinkers & Problem Solvers: Engaging students in authentic\, inquiry-based research experiences and the ethical\, productive use of AI to analyze and solve complex global issues. -Effective Communicators: Building open lines of creative communication through strategic partnerships with international schools\, university programs\, and local community members. -Culturally Competent Citizens: Fostering academic experiences without borders to develop deep empathy\, global awareness\, and a strong sense of local and global civic responsibility. -Empowered Educators & Lifelong Learners: Utilizing local teacher centers and doctoral-level peer mentorship models to facilitate innovative training\, ensuring educators continuously develop the adaptable skill sets required to guide student-led global initiatives.
