Establishing High School Systems for an Uncertain September

Students and teachers are coming off of one of the most challenging school years in memory. As we transition back into whatever September will look like, it will be even more important for teachers to have systems in place that can empower students to achieve success. This PD workshop is geared towards high school teachers with a specific focus on how to establish good routines and organizational systems for students. Practical applications will be explored, including how to help students with note-taking, systems for organizing information, and what it means to be a classroom citizen. The workshop will include both direct and interactive instruction, and will give participants an opportunity to collaborate and plan for their first few weeks of school.

This workshop will be offered on August 20th from 10:00 AM- 12:00 PM. There will be opportunities for optional follow-up sessions in the Winter and Spring of 2021.

This workshop is open to teachers in New York City only, as it is funded by Title IIA. Administrators, paraprofessionals, and P3 providers welcome.
