The ELA Coordinator Network Meetings are designed for central and building administrators, literacy coaches/specialists, ELA consultants, and lead teachers interested in impacting literacy learning on Long Island. Through a series of three professional development opportunities, Carol Varsalona will facilitate professional conversations with NYSED officials. Topics will range from assessments, Common Core Initiatives, and K-12 curriculum materials found on EngageNY. The intent of these regional meetings is to link SED to Long Island so educators can stay informed about New York State initiatives and connect with other districts. Having cross-district conversations regarding literacy teaching and learning is essential in building a collaborative community.

Mentors.net - a Professional Development Resource
Mentors.net was founded in 1995 as a professional development resource for school administrators leading new teacher induction programs. It soon evolved into a destination where both new and student teachers could reflect on their teaching experiences. Now, nearly thirty years later, Mentors.net has taken on a new direction—serving as a platform for beginning teachers, preservice educators, and
other professionals to share their insights and experiences from the early years of teaching, with a focus on integrating artificial intelligence. We invite you to contribute by sharing your experiences in the form of a journal article, story, reflection, or timely tips, especially on how you incorporate AI into your teaching
practice. Submissions may range from a 500-word personal reflection to a 2,000-word article with formal citations.
