Behavior Management Strategies for the Classroom Teacher (Grades Pre-K–8)

Good classroom management is at the heart of effective teaching. This course is aimed at teachers in regular and special education settings who want to learn how to organize their classrooms to help students realize their maximum potential while also keeping their classes on track. It includes a step-by-step approach for setting up and carrying out a behavior modification strategy. This course is intended for educators with less than five years experience, but more experienced professionals will also come away with new techniques to add to their repertoire.

Building Computational Fluency: Multiplication and Division (Grades 3–6)

When teachers understand how children make sense of multiplication and division, they are better able to create strategies that support students in developing computational fluency. Using student work samples and video clips, we’ll explore how children develop meaningful, efficient, and accurate computational strategies for multiplication and division. We’ll examine mathematical ideas central to multiplication and division, thereby deepening mathematical content knowledge. Additionally, we’ll analyze the role of the traditional algorithm in a standards-based elementary mathematics classroom. Instructor: Julie Broderick

Early Numbers, Addition, and Subtraction (Grades K–4)

How do children develop computational strategies to help them add and subtract? This course explores how children make sense of these operations. Through video clips and student work samples, we’ll examine effective, efficient, and accurate problem-solving strategies that children can use to master addition and subtraction. We’ll discuss the role of the standard algorithm in a standardsbased mathematics classroom and consider the teacher’s role in helping children develop computational fluency. In addition, you will examine mathematical ideas central to addition and subtraction, thereby deepening our own mathematical content knowledge. Instructor: Eliza Chung

Constructing a Democratic Classroom: Focus on Routines, Rules, and Transitions (Ages 3–9 Years)

Routines, rules, and transitions may be thought of as providing the framework for the daily life of the classroom. The way in which they are constructed and carried out strongly affects the social, moral, and academic atmosphere in the setting. What does democracy mean in relation to routines, rules, and transitions? How can children have a voice in determining them? The ultimate goal is not simply to create order, but also to encourage the development of both autonomy and a caring community. Topics to be considered are views of the nature of the child, developmental appropriateness, flexibility, the needs of English language learners and children with developmental variations, issues around power and control, the meaning of resistance, and how routines and transitions relate to academic learning and the various curriculum areas, particularly social studies. You will examine and analyze the structures in your own and each others’ classrooms. Instructor: Candace Barriteau Phaire

Creating Classrooms That Embrace Difference (Grades Pre-K–2)

We will explore how power and knowledge can be shared with students by allowing them to weave their own stories into the curriculum. Starting from this place, we will be better positioned to understand how classrooms can become educational spaces where students’ identities, interests, skills, and expertise are honored. We will examine how storytelling, language, literature, and projectbased making can support multiple funds of knowledge and ways of knowing. Instructor: Kelly Bird

Elevating Existing Literacies: Fostering Family and Caregiver Community (Pre-K–8)

This workshop provides for educators a springboard for elevating the already existing and incredibly rich literacy practices in student homes—from practical suggestions for communicating the academic components of classrooms day to day to how families can easily boost their student’s listening, speaking, and composing strategies at home. Together, we will brainstorm ideas for simultaneously growing relationships with families and caregivers across the school year and supporting confident and expansive literacy practices in our classrooms.

Language Matters! Supporting Mathematical Discourse in the Classroom (Ages 5–13)

This workshop will explore the role of discourse in the mathematics classroom. How do we support the development of ideas and language in mathematics? All students, including ELLs and those with language-based disabilities, need supported opportunities to communicate their mathematical thinking and develop mathematical language. The workshop will focus on the “why” of mathematics while exploring strategies to support and develop productive discourse for all learners in a classroom. Instructor: Amy Withers

Meeting the Diverse Needs of Beginning Readers (Grades K–3)

In every classroom, some children take longer to master beginning reading skills. Teachers, therefore, need to develop a variety of materials and approaches to help all children and particularly those having difficulty learning to read. We will discuss and demonstrate strategies you can use to enhance children’s decoding and encoding skills. We will also review methods and engage in activities designed to improve reading comprehension skills. You will have the opportunity to explore how you can use these techniques in your individual school settings. Some teaching experience is required. Instructor: Allison Arthur May

Poetic Possibilities: Weaving Poetry into All Subject Areas (Grades K–8)

Poetry—with its economy of language and endless possibilities—can feel like a breath of fresh air for students. Reading and writing poetry connected to social studies, mathematics, science, and, of course, literacy curricula can inspire students to find joy in unexpected places, to make meaningful connections, and to express their learning in varied ways. A digital folder full of practical resources such as mentor texts, templates, lesson plans, and more will be shared with participants. Instructor: Lilly Howard Scott

Restorative Practices in the Early Grades (Grades 1–3)

Restorative practices hold great promise for shifting the power balance, structures, and approach of traditional classroom and disciplinary practice. At their core, restorative practices are equitable and explicitly anti-racist. They incorporate themes of socialemotional learning, racial and cultural equity, and relationship- and 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

Sounds in Motion: The Development of Auditory Perception and Early Literacy Through the Use of Body Movements (Pre-K–Grade 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 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 who qualify for Title 1 schools. You will learn body movements for 40 phonemes along with techniques for teaching developmental listening and language skills. Instructor: Holly Thomas

Talking About Race with Children (Ages 5–10)

This workshop explores how to talk about race and anti-racism with children in a classroom setting. The Bank Street community affirms that teaching and learning are expressions of justice. You will be introduced to concrete examples from an existing social justice curriculum utilized in the Bank Street School for Children. The curriculum is based on Bank Street College’s guiding belief that human beings learn best in the context of meaningful relationships and through doing, making, and changing the world around us. Participants will leave with tools and ideas that they can try out in their own classrooms in the fall. Instructor: Chaylor Clark
