Deeper Learning New York

Across New York, a shared vision for student success is taking shape: one that emphasizes holistic approaches and future readiness to build strong relationships and rigorous learning communities. As educators continue to rethink student success, join us as we explore how districts, like Northport - East Northport U.F.S.D., are combining their instruction with solutions offered through Discovery Education to demonstrate the Portrait through embodying cultural responsiveness and authentic application of necessary skills. We welcome all leaders and district administrators to join our session and share your experiences in shaping Portrait of a Graduate within your classrooms and beyond!

Research shows school professionals that communicate regularly and frequently with families result in students that have improved academic achievement and overall better health and wellbeing throughout their K-12 years.  Although it is clear that school professional - family communication is vital in student success, the process can be cumbersome, challenging and frustrating if the correct tools are not available. This interactive presentation will identify myriad options, based on a comparative analysis, and use real time engagement with audience participation to demonstrate applications that are available to all school professionals from District Office leaders to frontline team members (including Building Leaders and Faculty) to communicate with students’ families, even when there is a difference in primary language.
