Access Passcode: ^Y?s2CMV
You are invited to participate in a study that looks at the systems and processes that were/ are in place for primary school teachers to support teaching and learning of primary-level maths during the COVID-19 crisis.
The purpose of the study is to gain more detailed insights into the experiences of primary school teachers and parents and families of primary school-aged children with online and remote learning of maths content during this time. This research hopes to develop avenues for more effective online maths learning for teachers and families.
Who are we?
The study is being conducted by Dr Kelly Johnston, Professor Rebecca Bull, Professor Garry Falloon and Dr Emma Burns who specialise in primary mathematics and technology in the School of Education at Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia. Dr Johnston can be contacted by email (kelly.johnston@mq.edu.au).

Dear Colleagues,
I would like to share with you an article and workshop shared at ASCD Virtual Conference last week. Dr. Gorski works with school districts on race matters and recently worked closely with districts in southern New Jersey. While he did not provide a powerPoint he did provide an article of interest. "Avoiding Racial Equity Detours"
"Although racial identities inform cultural identities, race is not culture. Racial inequities aren’t predominantly cultural misunderstandings." - Gorski
I would also like to share the following presentation from the ASCD Virtual Conference: Distance Learning, Online Learning and Students with Disabilities: How Do We Do It? (Powerpoint and Resources)
Warm regards,
Marilyn

Course Description:
August 2019, marked the 400 year anniversary in Tidewater Virginia, where at the banks of the Jamestown River, American democracy and American enslavement emerged hand in hand. That marriage of ideals had consequential offspring, which have provided a complex inheritance for every generation of this nation’s citizens for the last 400 years. 2020 has catapulted our national attention and our family discussions, national news, social media platforms, and timelines have been filled with the remnants of these consequential offspring. We currently find ourselves in conversations involving our current global pandemic with its ever-climbing fatalities and evidenced medical disparities among communities of color; economic upheavals; federal and state’s rights debates and clarifications; constitutional and civics education reviews; political party infighting and polarizations; voting disenfranchisement concerns; questions of medical bioethics; conversations regarding reforms after the witnessing of police brutalities; civil rights and racial injustice; economic upheavals with the possibility of impending foreclosures and evictions; and finally the explications of structural racism, social justice, and policy changes.
This summer our proposed institute topic selection has been identified and abridged based on both our current national and global events. Our current realities and circumstances have created increased inquiries from teachers across the state, to the Amistad Commission for a multitude of areas for historic understanding, resources for students, and suggested learning approaches; most especially with the transition to online and remote learning. In response, we have crafted a late summer professional development session before our Educators begin their school year that will provide content lectures, resources, as well as student engagement and classroom strategies.
Our goal is to assist NJ Educators and Administrators who tackle issues ripped from our headlines that are embedded throughout the NJ Learning Standards and Progress Indicators for Social Studies and district curriculum maps. At this moment, a space has been created for an indispensable teaching moment to educate our teachers and administrators, on the historic legacies at the root of our daily conversations that will no doubt continue to extend to our classrooms. It is a history that is only understood by telling the full story of our often-difficult American narrative. This must be part and parcel of all school curricula and professional development trainings nationwide.
This professional development online course will include virtual experiential learning, primary and secondary resources, lectures, multimedia presentations, curriculum development, and teaching strategies, lesson plan writing and methodology structuring sessions, we invite NJ K-12 teacher, content specialist, administrators, and community stakeholders together for these conversations while enlisting experts scholars in the varied topic areas of each lecture.

Hello,
Reaching out to share meaningful PD suggestions for our upcoming school year. I know I've shared about Cornelius Minor before, but I'm passing along to you all because I still believe he could have a tremendous impact on our educators https://kassandcorn.com/about-us/
I'm also sharing a video series (free) through the International Literacy Association that is also very timely even though it was recorded a few years ago https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9sZJrFiw51w&feature=youtu.be titled Disrupting a Destructive Cycle. Cornelius does the introduction to this series. I've only watched Part 1 so far but it is a very powerful commentary on the need to reimagine how we educate all children.
Please share with anyone who you think might be interested.
Thank you and be well,
Tammy Murphy
