DESIGNING CLASSROOM AND SCHOOL COMMUNITIES THAT
ENSURE ‘DIGNITY FOR ALL STUDENTS’
Instructor - Cecile Wren
 
 
NEW COURSE
 
 
3 Credits – Inservice
First Session – Oct. 1, Ends Dec. 15
The twenty-first century is a time of confusion and turmoil. Students are confronted with challenging decisions, peer pressures, and the need to feel a sense of belonging. Schools need to be sensitive to these needs and develop a comprehensive plan that is critical to ensuring the development of the whole child.
These efforts will provide a strong foundation that enables districts to meet the requirements set forth by The New York State Dignity for All Students Act. This act requires that all schools “. . . incorporate discrimination and harassment awareness and sensitivity into civility, citizenship and character education curricula” by July, 2012. This course will provide teachers with a collegial atmosphere that will enable them to create DASA activities that focus on alignment with district goals, the NYS Dignity for All Students Act, and the NYS Common Core Standards. The research-based strategies and skills utilized will enable teachers to help students build effective relationships, and work through life’s challenges in constructive and ethical ways. Through these efforts teachers will be able to make a difference in the lives of their students, change the fabric of their classroom communities and impact systemic change in their districts. Participants will be provided with the opportunity for independent inquiry, learning in cooperation with others, and reflective practice. By participating in these activities, participants will enhance professional dialogue and effectively blend different, innovative, and practical strategies for implementation. This course is appropriate for teachers, support personnel (guidance, social workers, and/or psychologists), administrators

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.
