In preparing for the new school year, faculty and staff throughout the District recently gathered for a series of interactive workshops during Superintendent’s Conference Day.
Among the various workshops, Languages Other Than English teachers at East Meadow High School discussed the advantages of utilizing the iPad in American Sign Language classes, while social studies teachers worked in groups to develop methods which will prepare students for the new Common Core Learning Standards-based social studies framework. In addition, kindergarten through second-grade teachers worked with staff developers on a new reading program, and high school English teachers analyzed the new Common Core English Regents and curriculum.
The workshops allowed teachers to plan and prioritize in order to ensure all students are challenged and can succeed academically during the new school year.
