SUMMARY:NEW HyFlex Community of Practice!
DESCRIPTION:Registration Deadline: NONE; please click the Google Meet link below to join on the day of the meeting \nHybrid-Flexible (HyFlex) classes (classes that are taught synchronously in-person with a remote synchronous option) offer students the opportunity to participate online or in the classroom\, but can be intimidating for teachers to implement.

This group will meet online periodically throughout the school year\, and our first meeting is set for October 19 at 2:30pm. \nThis informal group will be a fun place to share and build on our collective knowledge and experience in this new and growing area. We will decide as a group any areas for future exploration\, but some options are: exploring HyFlex technology options\, hearing from teachers currently using HyFlex\, and classroom management tips for the HyFlex class. \nAll meetings will be held in Google Meet and are open to both teachers and managers. No need to sign up\, just use the below link to join!  We look forward to seeing you then! \nGoogle Meet link: https://meet.google.com/quk-iiwu-tmp

SUMMARY:Antiracist Praxis Study Circle
DESCRIPTION:Application Deadline: WED. 10/6/21 \nAPPLY NOW >> \n\nNOTE: Participation will be limited to keep the group a manageable size.\n\nStudy Circle Meetings: ONLINE via Zoom\, on Thursdays from 2:30-4:30 PM as follows: \n\nOctober 28\nNovember 4\nNovember 11\nNovember 18\nDecember 2\n\nFacilitator: Cydnee Sanders \nDescription: Many of us have heard the terms antiracist and DEI (diversity\, equity and inclusion)\, but how do we actually implement these large frameworks into our adult English classrooms? This study circle goes beyond defining antiracism and explores how the research around Translanguaging by Ofelia García and Culturally Responsive Teaching by Zaretta Hammond provide us with tools to change the way we approach teaching. \nThe study circle is not intended to be a basic “what is racism” professional development activity\, so we have some working assumptions and hope those interested in joining can agree to start with these foundational beliefs: \n\nRacism is systemic. White supremacy and systemic racism are leading problems in our education system. These systems are especially harmful to people of color and the English language learners we serve.\nIdentifying and addressing implicit bias is paramount to this work. It is a personal journey\, and we all enter this work together from different places.\nIt is not enough to be “not racist” but we have to be intentionally antiracist.\nWe are willing to work in a collaborative environment and to hold each other accountable.\n\nTime Commitment: 5 two-hour meetings\, plus an expected 1-2 hours per week of preparation by reading\, viewing\, and reflecting on assigned tasks \nCEUs: 20 for those who attend ALL 5 meetings and complete all study circle activities \nStipends: $100 for those who attend ALL 5 meetings and complete all study circle activities
