Preschool teachers, care-givers, and directors: Here it is in answer to your requests - a working workshop

digging into the Massachusetts Frameworks & Common Core Standards. What do children need to know

and be able to do when they enter kindergarten and early elementary grades? We will be examining both

the English Language Arts and Literacy and the Mathematics standards as well as the Standards of

Practice. The three instructors will lead you through the process of deconstructing the over-arching

standards to identify key skills and concepts that students are expected to learn in the early grades.

Through this dissection process, we will identify foundation skills necessary to prepare our youngest

students for the challenges of learning as they progress through kindergarten and early elementary classes.

12

This will be a truly hands-on, interactive workshop. All attendees will participate in the process of

disassembling the standards in guided and collective effort. All attendees will receive copies of both the

process and the work of the day to take back to their respective schools and centers.


All will gain an increased knowledge of the MA Frameworks & Common Core Standards and be

able to identify key skills and concepts embedded in the standards.

All will learn the process of deconstructing - or dissecting - the standards to identify foundational

skills young children need to gain for greater success in their early school learning experiences.

CONTENT AREA: Early Childhood Social and Emotional Development

TARGETED AUDIENCE: Early Childhood Educators – (Birth to 8)

TITLE OF WORKSHOP: Through the Eyes of a Child: The Developmental Impact of Trauma.

INSTRUCTOR(S):

Jeanine K. Fitzgerald


Jeanine draws on more than 35 years of professional experience to empower teachers and parents to

achieve more with children “at risk.” With experience as a certified teacher, mental health professional

and mother of three grown children, she understands the promise of every child, as well as the diversity of

their needs. As a certified Human Behavior Consultant and Specialist, and Owner of The Fitzgerald

relationship-building, motivation, preventing the factors that compromise the fulfillment of a child’s

maximum potential and implementing positive interventions in “real life” settings.


Trauma reactive children walk through our doors every day and their life experiences have influenced the

developmental pathway each follows. Often, there are behavioral symptoms that professionals label as

challenging or pathological. This course examines trauma and its impact through a developmental

framework that addresses the explosive emotions and disruptive behaviors. Research-based and field

tested strategies are the emphasis.


1. Contrast the normative and trauma-reactive pathways.

2. Create a working definition of trauma.

3. Explain the trauma cycle.

4. Summarize what neuroscience has taught us about the effects of trauma on development and

learning.

5. Observe the four styles of coping used by trauma-reactive children that ensure their survival.

6. Describe the authentic needs of children and ways to ensure need gratification for children in our

care.

7. Accurately interpret the emotional language of children.

8. Describe the teaching elements required to promote the development of self-regulation.

Workshop 008 Location: Upper Cape Tech

Please note: this workshop is limited to 35 participants

CONTENT AREA: Dual Language Learners and Early Childhood Language Development The content of this workshop addresses language learning trajectories and stages of second language

acquisition, as well as a host of related topics, including Social-Cultural issues.

We are in a “Perfect Storm” for we now know more than we ever have about Brain Development, Early

Language Development for Mono and Dual Language Learners and Learning, in general.

TARGETED AUDIENCE:

Pre K Directors, Pre-K/K Teachers and Assistants (both Private School and Public School), Special Ed

Directors, Elementary Principals, Librarians, Community Day Care Personnel

TITLE OF WORKSHOP:

Brain Development, Early Language Development for Mono and Dual Language Learners and Learning,

INSTRUCTOR(S):

Sally Grimes, Ed.M.


Sally Grimes, was asked to be part of a selective cadre of Master Trainers who will help “roll out” a state

initiative to address the needs of Dual Language Learners, an initiative which will also benefit others who

struggle with expressive and receptive language.

After extensive study, Sally is now one of only a few dozen presenters in the state who are certified to

deliver this content along with hands-on activities, on behalf of the EEC and WIDA collaboration. This

content addresses language learning trajectories and stages of second language acquisition, as well as a

host of related topics, including Social-Cultural issues.


The emphasis will be on maintaining and enhancing the language and culture of children’s native

languages, while developing their use and knowledge of the English language. Of course, this also

benefits all language learners, especially those who struggle for other reasons.

The focus is on “meeting kids where they are”. This presenter is known for her many “hands-on”

activities and practical activities that attendees will be able to “use tomorrow” such as the Talking Table,

the 30-Second Conversation, the Listening Ears, Dialogic Reading and others.

Areas that will be briefly woven into the discussion include Oral Language Development, Listening

Activities, Vocabulary, Phonological Awareness, Parent Involvement, Social Interactions, and Room

Design. Because the presenter has a long history in the areas of Special Education, Literacy and Language

Development, these areas form a backdrop to the workshop wherein differentiated instruction and

“prevention-early intervention” are underlying tenets. Information about resources such as key websites,

articles and curricula will be provided.

The workshop will conclude with input from the participants on what expertise they would most like CCC

to provide in follow-up workshops for early childhood educators in the area of expressive and receptive

language challenges with 3-5 year olds.

English learners as well as teach students who are native English speakers.

TITLE OF WORKSHOP:

Strategies for Teachers to support English Learners in Mathematical Reasoning and Communication

INSTRUCTOR (S):

Jill Neumayer DePiper

BACKGROUND OF INSTRUCTOR(S): Jill Neumayer DePiper began her career as a middle-school teacher and has extensive expertise in

working to improve mathematics instruction, support students at risk, and enhance teacher preparation

and professional development. She has a Ph.D. in mathematics education, and specific research and

instructional design experiences focuses on English Language Learners. She has served as a professional

developer, taught graduate-level mathematics education courses, and conducted research targeted to

advance the quality and equity of mathematics education, including specific research on professional

development and instructional supports for mathematics teachers of ELLs.

DESCRIPTION OF WORKSHOP: All students need mathematics instruction that supports them in reasoning and communicating in

mathematics and in their math class. Students who are learning English, however, may need additional

supports in order to make their mathematical thinking visible, particularly in upper elementary and middle

school math classes where there is increasing attention given to problem-solving, critical thinking, and

communication. This workshop will support teachers in understanding and supporting their students who

are English Language Learners (ELLs) in the mathematics classroom. In the workshop, we will engage in

mathematics tasks, first to understand the mathematics and then to understand how representations and

language strategies can support mathematics thinking and learning. We will begin with two mathematics

tasks, and our discussion of them will lead into an overview of instruction for ELLs in mathematics. We

will then experience two mathematics tasks with the language and visual representation supports and

strategies. There will be discussion and reflection on the tasks in order to support teacher learning and

implementation. After the mid-day break, we will share and experience more strategies and ideas to

support further implementation. Teachers will also have time to refine their own mathematics tasks with

these strategies to prepare for classroom use.


The overall goals of the sessions would be: to support teachers in learning about the importance of visual

representations in mathematics thinking and learning and to support teachers in learning about language

access and production strategies for use in the math classroom. Teachers will learn how visual

representations can serve as math learning tools for students, as math communication tools for students

26

and teachers, and as mathematical artifacts for teachers to better understand their students thinking.

Teachers will also learn about and how to implement language strategies and instructional routines to

support student learning.

Overall, this series of PD sessions should prepare teachers with new perspectives about using multiple

types of strategies and visual representations in their mathematics classrooms and teaching and specific

strategies related to language access and production, again, specific to supporting students who are

learning English but certainly also supports that benefit native English speakers as well.

TITLE OF WORKSHOP: School Refusal Behavior: Effective Techniques to Help Children Who Can’t or Won’t Go to School

INSTRUCTOR(S): George B. Haarman, Psy.D., LMFT

BACKGROUND OF INSTRUCTOR(S)

George B. Haarman, Psy.D., LMFT, is a Licensed Clinical Psychologist and a Licensed Marriage and

Family Therapist with over 30 years of experience. He currently is in private practice in Louisville, KY,

University in 1989 and is a member of the American Psychological Association. Dr. Haarman has been an

instructor at Jefferson Community College, Bellarmine University, and Spalding University. He has

presented seminars regionally and nationally on psychopathology, depression, and emotional disorders in

children and adolescents.


School refusal is a problem that is stressful for children, for their families, and for school personnel.

Failing to attend school has significant long-term and short-term effects on children's social, emotional,

and educational development. School refusal is often the result of, or associated with, co-morbid disorders

such as anxiety or depression. Careful assessment, treatment planning, and management of school refusal

are critical to a successful return to school as quickly as possible. Treatment may include educational

support, cognitive therapy, behavior modification, parent/teacher interventions, and pharmacotherapy.

The one-day seminar will break down the distinction between truancy and school refusal. Completing the

seminar will assist participants in performing a functional analysis of school refusal to determine the

motivation and particular reinforcement systems that support the behavior. The course will examine a

number of psychological disorders that may be causing or be co-morbid with school refusal including,

separation anxiety, generalized anxiety, social phobia, panic attacks, major depression, dysthymia,

ADHD, and oppositional defiant disorder. The latest treatment approaches will be reviewed with a focus

on tailoring and adapting standard approaches to specific situations. Lastly, participants will be given the

opportunity to review several case studies and develop a sample treatment plan for cases of school refusal.

The Plein Air* Challenge! Using Quick Observational Techniques to Improve Student Work

INSTRUCTOR(S):

Daniel Springer


Painter and educator, Daniel Springer is a graduate of Parsons School of Design (BFA) and Northeastern

University (MA English). Springer currently chairs the Fine Arts program at Dennis-Yarmouth Regional

High School where he has taught for the last eighteen years. He was named the “Arts Educator of the

Year” in 2010 by the Arts Foundation of Cape Cod. Springer has had multiple solo shows at the Brewster

Ladies Library and has been in group shows at the Cape Cod Museum of Art, the Cultural Center, the

Islands Art Educators Association. He has also shown at PAAM and most recently, in a group show at

The Cove Gallery in Chatham. He had an exhibition at Barnstable High School in April/May 2013.


This workshop would give teachers the chance to learn and/or practice “en plein air” painting and engage

in meaningful conversations regarding the use of this technique to improve student engagement and

observational skills. Teachers would have the opportunity to use their own talent as artists and apply it to

their current practice and assessments. The morning session would be practical, using the grounds of the

school (weather permitting) for a hands-on lesson in observational painting. After lunch, a critique using

two distinct approaches (Principles & Elements of Art) and VTS (Visual Thinking Strategies) will be used

to analyze the work created in the morning.

Focus will be on Visual Arts/Creating Standards #VA: Cr2.1 Essential Question: How do artists work?

How do artists and designers determine whether a particular direction in their work is effective? How do artists and

designers learn from trial and error? and Visual Arts/Creating Standards #VA: Re8.1 Essential Question: What is

the value of engaging in the process of art criticism? How can the viewer “read” a work of art as text? How does

knowing and using visual art vocabularies help us understand and interpret works of art?

*En plein air (French pronunciation: [ɑ̃ plɛn ɛʁ]) is a French expression which means "in the open air" and is particularly used to describe

the act of painting outdoors, which is also called peinture sur le motif ("painting of the object(s) or what the eye actually sees") in French.


Practical experience with traditional observational painting technique.

Improved understanding of the NEW national Core Arts Standards.

Integrating standards into existing practice and/or changing your practice to be in alignment.

Improved techniques for student engagement and critique.

This workshop will explore the recent developments in the historic narrative of the Provincetown or

White Line print. Participants will watch the documentary Packed in a Trunk, which presents the work of

the (until recently) forgotten painter and printmaker Edith Lake Wilkinson. Digital images of her work

and original work from the Provincetown Art Association and Museum Collection will be presented, as

well as a lecture on traditional narrative about the development of the printing process. The screening and

history lesson will be followed by an intro to white-line printmaking; participants will have the

opportunity to carve and print a block of their own. Materials will be supplied.
