A MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR

Dear Educators,

Here we are, at the start of the fourth year of school since the pandemic made an impact on our school lives. We know you continue to work hard, and we sincerely hope the excitement and promise of the new school year reminds you of the joys of teaching, as you continue to support the learning outcomes of the children and families in your care.

At Bank Street Continuing Professional Studies, we’ve developed short-format workshops to support your teaching practice and deepen student learning. Most are offered online for your convenience, although a few are held in person at our campus. All of these workshops provide you with connections to a community of educators and leaders who are committed to high-quality education that inspires good student outcomes and lifelong learning.

This fall, we’re offering The Essential Orton-Gillingham (p. 3 and 5) and Sounds In Motion (p. 2), which provide literacy and pre-literacy programs to support children’s phonemic awareness, and Brain-Changing Words (p. 3 and 5) which provides simple shifts in language to transform children’s learning. The Reggio-Emilia Approach (p. 2 and 4) and The Youngest Scientist (p. 2 and 4) provide lively, play-based approaches to learning.

We hope you’ll look over our course listing and consider joining us for a fall workshop.

Sincerely,

Joy Ellebbane Director, Continuing Professional Studies

SPECIAL EVENTS

Emotionally Responsive Schools Conference

HOLDING AND HEALING: SUPPORTING COMMUNITIES AND OURSELVES IN CHANGING TIMES

Friday, November 17, 2023 | 10:00 AM–5:00 PM | Virtual Event

Join us at Bank Street’s 9th Annual Emotionally Responsive Schools Conference. Presentations and workshops will explore a variety of practical and reflective techniques for teachers, social workers, and administrators to respond better to children’s emotional needs. You’ll hear a keynote presentation by Lesley Koplow, LCSW, Founding Director of Emotionally Responsive Practice at Bank Street Graduate School of Education. You’ll also choose workshops that match your interests. We encourage you to join this community of educators. Those of us who work in child care settings educating children and supporting families know how important it is to nurture mental health and well-being. Now more than ever, providing care and attention to social and emotional development is crucial for the success of children’s educational experiences.

About the Conference

Bank Street’s Emotionally Responsive Schools Conference is a day of collaboration and study of Emotionally Responsive Practice (ERP) in educational settings from birth through middle school. This is a reflective space where the adults who care for children can be heard and where we can feel a sense of community with each other.

To learn more, please visit graduate.bankstreet.edu/erp-conference or contact us at ERP@bankstreet.edu.

Join us for Saturday Math

Saturday Math provides teachers, administrators, curriculum enthusiasts, and other colleagues a place to do, learn, and talk about math. We meet to explore our own mathematical thinking and discuss issues related to teaching and learning. These facilitated sessions include interactive activities, and you’ll go home with resources and ideas about topics like Connecting Fractions, Decimals, and Percents and Using Mathematical Routines that you can apply to your unique practice as a teacher, coach, administrator, or as another education professional. Please note that while we are keeping the Saturday Math name, we’re exploring other days to be more inclusive. This year there will be two Saturday dates and two Thursday dates.

The Reggio-Emilia Approach: From Theory to Practice (Ages Infant–5 Years)

Much of this philosophy reflects the culture of the Italians and is difficult to recreate in the United States. This course is meant to provide an introduction to the approach and will attempt to bridge the Reggio-Emilia theory with American culture. We will view the Reggio-Emilia approach as a means to combat the push-down curriculum, competition, product over process, and the jumping/skipping of learning stages we are now experiencing in this country.

CHILDHOOD

TEWS876N

Brain-Changing Words: Bite-Size Phrases that Transform How Kids Think, Feel, and Achieve at School (Grades K–8)

Brain research suggests that language is not separate from thought, but is a part of thought itself. What we say and what we hear creates neural pathways that trigger brand new patterns of thinking, and, until a learner is exposed to a word or a particular combination of words, epiphanies lie dormant. For instance, a teacher’s unusual pairing of the words “brilliant” and “mistake” in the phrase “what a brilliant mistake!” can rewire how a child responds to making mistakes, replacing feelings of shame with self-compassion and resilience. Teachers who share bite-sized, literally brain-altering language with students (who repeat this language to themselves as positive self-talk) can transform how students feel, and therefore do, in the classroom and beyond. In this course, we’ll introduce simple, affirming language suggestions and practical curricular extensions (such as morning meeting activities, visual art exercises, poetry invitations, and reading responses) that help students explore and internalize these transformative phrases. Practical resources will be shared with participants after each session.

POLICY AND PROCEDURES

Registration Fees

Registrations are accepted on a space-available, first-come, first-served basis. All online registration will be acknowledged by email. All faxed, mailed, or in-person registration will be acknowledged by return mail.

• Tuition & fees are subject to approval by the Bank Street College Board of Trustees.

• Registration received after the posted registration deadline is subject to a $25 late registration fee.

• Courses taken for credit include a nonrefundable registration fee. The registration fee in any one semester is $50 for 1 to 3 credits, and $100 for 4 or more credits.

• Students taking courses in both the Graduate School and Continuing Professional Studes (CPS) should combine credits taken with each in calculating the applicable registration fee.

• There is no registration fee for courses taken for CEU.

Changes of Registration

Changes must be submitted in writing to the Continuing Professional Studies office no later than one week preceding the first class meeting date and are subject to a $15 fee. No withdrawals/refund/transfer request will be accepted after that time.

• Change from credit to CEU/Audit will be accepted up until (but no later than) the beginning of the second class session.

• Change from CEU/Audit to credit will be accepted up until (but no later than) 5 business days after the last class session. Changes require approval of the instructor and CPS office.

• Only the student named on the registration form may attend a course. Should a school wish to send another staff member in place of a registered student, there will be a late registration fee ($25) as well as a processing fee of $25.

• Should an emergency prevent a student from attending a workshop, a full refund will be processed upon receipt of a written request and documentation of the emergency. (Emergencies are defined as unforeseeable situations that require the registered student’s immediate attention.)

Attendance at all class sessions is required. A student who misses the first class session, may not attend future class sessions. Refunds or transfers are only processed in case of emergencies. (See emergency policy above, under Changes of Registration.) For exceptions, both the instructor and the Continuing Professional Studies office must grant permission.

• Children are not permitted in class and may not be left unattended on Bank Street College property.

• No one will be admitted to any State Mandated Training workshop after the posted start time and there are no refunds/transfer for late arrivals.

Assignments for courses taken for one credit must be postmarked two weeks after the final class meeting. Courses taken for two or three credits must be postmarked four weeks after the final class meeting.
