SATURDAY MATH WORKSHOPS Welcome to our Saturday Math Workshops, a place where teachers, administrators, curriculum enthusiasts, and other colleagues meet to explore our own mathematical thinking and discuss issues related to teaching and learning mathematics. Each facilitated session consists of interactive activities and discussions. You will go home with resources and ideas to try in your own practice on Monday. Session topics may focus on content (e.g., Connecting Fractions, Decimals, and Percents) or pedagogy (e.g., Using Mathematical Routines) and will always provide ample opportunity to make connections to your unique practice as a teacher, coach, administrator, or as another education professional. While these workshops will build upon the previous one, they can be taken individually.CTLE documentation will be provided upon request after May 6, 2024. Instructors: Nancy Buck and Bank Street math leadership graduate students

Art of Facilitating a Math Conversation

How do we transition from teachers of math knowledge to facilitators of math conversation? Have you ever been in the front of the class wishing the students would respond to each other but they only respond to you? In this workshop, we will think about what it means to be a facilitator and what pedagogical moves we can make to get students to respond to each other during a math discussion. And, of course, we will engage in some fun math problems. Saturday, February 29 | Online 5:30 PM–7:30 PM ET 2 CTLE / .2 CEU Fee per session: $25

Finding the Joy in Teaching Math

We all know there is a lot going on in our profession. Between the teacher shortage and our postpandemic education world, it can be easy to lose the joy in the classroom. We are going to spend some time doing math together joyfully and discussing how that joy can be created in our own classrooms. Saturday, March 16 | On Campus 10:00 AM–1:00 PM 3 CTLE / .3 CEU Fee per session: $25

Using Routines to Keep the Math Classroom Student-Centered

In this session, we will think about how instructional routines can keep most of the thinking with the students rather than with the teachers. We will discuss ways to introduce instructional routines with students, how they fit into your pacing calendar, and when it makes sense to use them. We will also engage in some fun math problems. Saturday, April 6 | On Campus 10:00 AM–1:00 PM 3 CTLE / .3 CEU Fee per session: $25 To register and for more information, visit graduate.bankstreet.edu/educator-resources/saturday-math/

EARLY CHILDHOOD TEWS693N Sounds in Motion: The Development of Auditory Perception and Early Literacy Through the Use of Body Movements (Grades Pre-K–1) This workshop is designed to teach educators a unique, engaging, and effective program that helps early learners in both regular and special education classes to acquire phonemic awareness, listening, early literacy, vocabulary, and articulation skills through the use of body movements. The program has been shown to be beneficial to children who are English Language Learners and students in schools who qualify for Title 1. Attendees will learn body movements for 40 phonemes along with techniques for teaching developmental listening and language skills in both virtual and classroom settings. Instructor: Holly Thomas

TEED654N The Reggio-Emilia Approach: From Theory to Practice (Ages Infant–5 Years) The early childhood program founded in Reggio-Emilia, Italy incorporates an emphasis on the learning environment, process vs. product, developmentally appropriate practice, and the importance of the community of learners. 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. Instructors: Pat Watkins and Rafa Pérez-Segura

March 2 | Online Saturday, 10:00 AM–4:30 PM ET 6 CTLE or .6 CEU $225 (not offered for credit) Materials Fee: $80 Registration Deadline: 2/24

SPED550N Play as a Tool of Early Intervention (Ages Birth–8 Years) Young children play to express feelings, gain mastery over materials, and find meaning in complex experiences. When an emotional crisis interferes with a young child’s development, the disturbance manifests itself in the child’s play. If early intervention is required to promote healthy development, play becomes an essential therapeutic tool, as well as a diagnostic indicator. This course will utilize current theoretical perspectives to gain insight into children’s play. You will work with these theories to develop play techniques to use in early childhood classrooms and in individual therapy sessions. A basic understanding of early childhood development is required. Instructor: Lesley Koplow

April 19 and 20 | On Campus Friday, 4:45 PM–9:00 PM and Saturday, 9:00 AM–4:30 PM ET 12 CTLE or 1.2 CEU $425 / 1 credit $1,814 Materials Fee: $25 Registration Deadline: 4/12 Location: Bank Street College 4 I graduate.bankstreet.edu/cps

TEED649N Plant-Based Learning: Gardening Projects in the Classroom (Grades Pre-K–4) A growing body of research indicates that plant-based learning projects, such as indoor gardening and school gardens, are powerful teaching tools inside and outside the classroom. These activities provide an atmosphere that incorporates hands-on learning and strengthens academic, personal, and social development while encouraging children to develop critical skills, such as healthful living, stewardship, decision-making, and self-sufficiency. This course provides participants with an introduction to botany and applications for plant-based learning inside and outside the classroom, even in limited space. We will move beyond bean investigations by exploring multiple methods for growing plants and learning through plantbased projects. Cross-curricular connections will be made through scientific inquiry and literacy as we explore how to use plants to understand phenomena and the world we inhabit. Participants will receive seeds, plants, and materials for continued exploration at their schools and in virtual spaces. Instructor: Jacqueline Pilati May 3 and 4 | On Campus Friday, 4:45 PM–9:00 PM and Saturday, 9:00 AM–4:30 PM ET 12 CTLE or 1.2 CEU $425/1 credit $1,814 Materials Fee: $35 Registration Deadline: 4/26 Location: Bank Street College SPED587N The Spectrum of Play and Play on the Spectrum: Through a DIR/Floortime© Lens (Ages Birth–6) The course examines the play of neurotypical and neurodiverse children and the impact of individual differences in sensory and motor processing on development and play. A core feature of the course is how to employ the Developmental-Individual Difference-Relationship Model (DIR/Floortime) to progress play with children on the autistic spectrum. DIR expands and promotes symbolic play, the capacity to express the full range of emotions, and the ability to regulate anxiety and behavior using a teacher-caretaker mediated approach. This course presents the developmental spectrum of play and the manner in which play supports the formation of self-regulation, is selfrealizing, addresses all areas of development simultaneously, and is spontaneous and intrinsically motivated without the need for teacherdirected tasks. We will examine these themes as concept and practice. Throughout the course, you will have the opportunity to discuss challenges you may encounter related to children with whom you are working. The relationship between the material being presented and the use of play for both expressing and working through trauma will be addressed. Instructors: Gilbert Foley and Serena Wieder TBA* | Online 12 CTLE or 1.2 CEU $425 / 1 credit*: $1,814 Registration Deadline: *2.5 hours of asynchronous work required For course dates, visit graduate.bankstreet.edu/CPS/SPED587N

CHILDHOOD SPED585N The Essential Orton-Gillingham (Grades 1–6) The Orton-Gillingham method of teaching decoding, spelling, and handwriting is a multisensory approach that has been used successfully with children who experience difficulty learning these skills. This course trains you in Orton-Gillingham-based techniques using the PAF Reading Program (formerly known as Preventing Academic Failure Reading Program), which is research based and wellsuited for use in a variety of educational settings. You will leave with an in-depth understanding of the specifics of an Orton-Gillingham approach to teaching reading and you will learn how to incorporate this methodology into your practice. This is a fast-paced, intensive class intended for experienced educators who have familiarity with the different components of learning to read, including decoding, fluency, and comprehension. Your prior knowledge of these concepts will serve as the foundation to learn this multisensory approach to the teaching of reading. Direct all questions to cps@ bankstreet.edu.

At their core, restorative practices are equitable and explicitly anti-racist. They incorporate themes of socialemotional learning, racial and cultural equity, and relationshipand trust-building to promote healthier classrooms and schools. Restorative practices encourage us to engage in self-reflection, to participate on the same level as our students, and to actively question some of the assumptions many of us may hold. In this course, we will explore the foundational philosophy and values of restorative practices, familiarizing ourselves with common themes and practices as we adopt a restorative and transformative lens. Together, we will engage with practical applications of restorative practices in the elementary classroom, trying them out together and reflecting on our experiences. Instructor: Ellen Ferrin January 2 and 4, 9 and 11 | Online Tuesdays and Thursdays, 5:00–8:00 PM ET 12 CTLE or 1.2 CEU $425 / 1 credit $1,814 Registration Deadline: 12/26

2024: LONG TRIP TO ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI March 18–March 24, 2024 St. Louis’ growth and development has long been connected to its location on the vast and winding Mississippi River. This vital waterway not only provides power and ease of trade, but for over a thousand years it has offered passage for people seeking opportunities and safety. During the next Long Trip we will speak with immigrant rights activists, educators, artists, and business owners throughout St. Louis to explore the unique experiences of immigrant and refugee groups working to lay roots in St. Louis. Program Leader: Cristian Solorza Cristian Solorza is a faculty member and supervised fieldwork advisor at Bank Street’s Graduate School.
