SUMMARY:Math Institute: Building Structure\, Fluency\, and Mathematical Reasoning
DESCRIPTION:Adaptable to your schedule!  \nJoin us for this four-day institute with leading researchers in math instruction. Create a personalized learning experience by attending a single session or the full institute. \nDates: July 20-23\, 9:00 am- 12:00 pm EST\nLocation: Virtual\nCredits: NYCTLE credits – 3 hours per workshop \n  \nDay 1: Mathematics Vocabulary: What do words have to do with it? \nPresenter: Elizabeth Stevens\, PhD \nDescription:\nMathematics vocabulary can be challenging for students\, especially those with mathematics difficulty\, because so many terms carry multiple meanings both across subjects and within math itself. Yet research consistently shows that strong math vocabulary is tightly linked to stronger math performance\, making it essential for helping students communicate their thinking\, make sense of word problems\, and engage confidently with new content. This session invites teachers to dig into the complexity of math language\, explore different types of vocabulary\, and understand why using precise terms (like numerator instead of “top number”) truly matters. Educators will learn how to identify high‑impact words using a database of critical math terms\, and learn five practical instructional routines designed to make vocabulary instruction more powerful and engaging. Through hands‑on practice\, collaborative planning\, and ready‑to‑use digital resources\, teachers will leave equipped to strengthen students’ mathematical language and elevate classroom discourse. \nKey Learning Objectives: \n\nExplain why mathematics vocabulary knowledge supports understanding of mathematics concepts\nExplain how to prioritize terms for instruction\nIdentify and learn practices for teaching and reviewing mathematics vocabulary\nPlan ways to implement and apply content learned in your instructional setting (e.g.\, classroom\, small group\, coaching)\n\n  \n Day 2: A Structured Approach to Solve Addition Math Word Problems \nPresenter: Elizabeth Hughes\, PhD \nDescription:\nThis session introduces participants to the principles of schema-based instruction\, an approach that helps students make sense of word problems by recognizing underlying mathematical structures rather than relying on superficial keywords. We will explore the major additive problem types\, including join\, separate\, part–part–whole\, and compare\, and discuss how to guide students in identifying these structures across varied contexts. Participants will learn how to use visual models to represent thinking\, support problem comprehension\, and strengthen conceptual understanding. The session will also include a brief introduction to worked examples as an effective tool for building clarity and reducing cognitive load as students internalize problem schemas. \nKey Learning Objectives: \n\nunderstand what schema-based instruction is and why it supports deeper mathematical comprehension\nidentify and explore the four major additive problem types\ngain strategies for helping students recognize problem structure rather than relying on keywords\ngain practical ways to use visual models to represent thinking and support problem-solving\nexplore how worked examples can build conceptual clarity and reduce cognitive load for learners\n\n  \nDay 3: The Power of Structure: Understanding Multiplicative Thinking \nPresenter: Jonté Meyers\, PhD \nDescription:\nThis session will deepen participants’ understanding of multiplicative reasoning and how it differs fundamentally from additive reasoning. We will explore key multiplicative structures\, including equal groups\, comparison situations using “times as many\,” arrays and fundamental differences\, rate problems\, to build a solid conceptual foundation. Participants will examine how students form composite units and why this shift in thinking is essential for fluent multiplication and division. The session will highlight a range of representations that make multiplicative structure visible\, supporting stronger reasoning and problem solving. Finally\, we will look at worked examples that clearly connect visual models to procedures\, helping learners internalize the logic behind efficient strategies. \nKey Learning Objectives: \n\nunderstanding how multiplicative reasoning fundamentally differs from additive reasoning\, and why this shift matters for students’ mathematical development\nfamiliarity with major multiplicative structures\, including equal groups\, “times as many” comparison problems\, arrays/area models\, and rate situations\ninsight into how learners build composite units and how to support this critical cognitive move\nstrategies for using representations that reveal multiplicative structure\, helping students see and make sense of relationships\nexplore worked examples that connect visual models to formal procedures\, building conceptual and procedural fluency\n\n  \nDay 4: The Science of Math: Turning Research into High-Impact Classroom Practices \nPresenter: Paul Riccomini\, PhD \nDescription:\nThis workshop covers spaced learning\, varied practice types\, and information recall\, three evidence-based methods to enhance student learning. Educators will receive frameworks and develop a clear understanding of the scientific principles underlying these approaches. Participants will examine cognitive processes that support long-term retention and acquire techniques to deepen students’ understanding and application of math knowledge. Through interactive activities and collaborative planning\, educators will learn to incorporate these strategies into mathematics instruction. \nKey Learning  \n\nexplain key cognitive processes related to memory and retention within math concepts\nidentify and understand the research supported techniques of Spaced learning\, Interleaved Practice\, and Practice Test Retrieval\nanalyze how retention strategies can vertically align with K–12 mathematics instruction\napply evidence-based techniques to authentic classroom scenarios by designing lesson components\, tasks\, and review routines\ngain a toolkit of instructional scaffolds that integrate into math lessons

SUMMARY:The Thinking Classroom: Integrating AI With Intention - Virtual Mornings
DESCRIPTION:Presenter: Joan McGettigan\, Ed.D\nDate: July 22-23\,  9:00 am- 12:00 pm (morning session)\nLocation: Virtual \n\nPrice: $240.00 both mornings; $150 per individual morning workshop – virtual only\n\nCredits: NYCTLE credits – 3 hours per morning workshop\, 6 hours for all morning workshops \nMost professional development treats structured literacy\, executive functioning support and AI integration as separate challenges.  This institute brings them together. Participants will analyze the hidden demands inside real classroom tasks\, identify where students break down\, and redesign real assignments using targeted scaffolds and classroom-ready routines. Explore AI tools Brisk\, Kami\, SchoolAI\, Snorkl\, Google NotebookLM\, and Gemini\, curated because they support thinking\, communication\, understanding\, and independence without lowering rigor. This is not a general AI workshop. It is a learning design institute\, grounded in cognitive load theory\, science of learning principles\, and structured literacy-aligned practice.  Participants will leave with ready-to-use lesson materials\, annotation routines\, source-grounded study supports\, AI prompting structures\, and a full implementation plan for their own classrooms. \nDay 1:  \nUsing AI to Build Better Supports for Every Learner \nThis professional development session dives into how AI and digital tools can act as true instructional design partners for grades 4–12. Educators will uncover where students get stuck with task initiation\, planning\, and comprehension\, then learn how to design supports that actually meet those needs. In the afternoon\, you’ll get hands‑on with tools like Kami and SchoolAI to build scaffolds that boost idea generation\, deeper reading understanding\, pre‑writing\, and accessibility. \nKey Learning Objectives \n\nleverage AI as an instructional design partner to create and refine rigorous\, aligned learning tasks\ndesign differentiated supports to open access for diverse learners\nanalyze learner demands to identify barriers and plan targeted scaffolds for reading\, writing\, and task completion\nbuild coherent\, knowledge-rich learning experiences through text sets\, annotation\, and structured supports\napply and reflect on high-impact strategies to improve student understanding\n\nDay 2: AI as a Thinking Partner \nDay 2 focuses on moving from design to implementation\, helping educators translate AI-supported planning into student-facing instruction\, writing workflows\, and sustainable classroom systems. Participants revisit key principles from Day 1 and apply them to redesign writing tasks\, embed supports across the writing process\, and create aligned assessment and feedback routines. During the afternoon session\, participants will create a practical implementation plan; educators will build a full unit plan that incorporates strategies\, tools\, and supports centered on building student independence over time. \nKey Learning Objectives: \n\ndesign learner-friendly writing workflows that break the writing process into manageable steps and gradually build independence\nmatch tools and supports to student needs\ndevelop effective assessment and feedback systems that monitor both process and product\ncreate a clear\, actionable classroom implementation plan for integrating tools\, routines\, and supports\nrevise instructional plans using peer feedback and reflection

SUMMARY:Building Your First ELA Unit with Structured Writing Activities - Virtual Morning
DESCRIPTION:Adaptable to your schedule! Join us for all three mornings or a single session. \nDate: August 10 -August 12; 9:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.\nPresenters: Alison Leveque\, PhD; Kinjal Nicholls\, MA; Dana Carr-Ford\, MA\, MsEd; Betsy Duffy MsEd\nGrades: 3-9\nLocation: Virtual\nCredits: NYCTLE credits – 3 hours per full-day workshop \nDescription: \nThis three-day institute guides educators through the process of designing a coherent\, standards-aligned ELA unit from the ground up — one that intentionally connects reading\, discussion\, and writing to build the deep literacy skills students need to think critically\, write confidently\, and engage meaningfully with complex texts. \nDay 1: Laying the Foundation for a Coherent ELA Unit \nDay 1 establishes the blueprint for a strong ELA unit by helping educators set clear learning goals\, develop essential questions\, and select meaningful texts that anchor instruction and build student knowledge from the start. Educators will explore how to plan scaffolds that support students before\, during\, and after instruction — ensuring every learner has access to the curriculum from day one. In the afternoon\, participants begin drafting their own ELA unit by identifying priority standards\, defining learning goals\, and selecting the central text or text set that will drive their instructional sequence. \nKey Learning Objectives \n\nexplain the core components of an effective ELA unit\, including learning goals\, essential questions\, and scaffolds to support student success\nanalyze students’ prior knowledge and identify opportunities to build background knowledge while addressing potential misconceptions\nalign unit planning with foundational skills programs\, writing curricula\, and standards-aligned texts\nplan text analysis routines that incorporate reading\, discussion\, and writing tasks to support comprehension and meaning-making\nbegin drafting a coherent ELA unit by defining learning goals\, creating essential questions\, and choosing central texts or text sets\n\nDay 2: The Heart of the Matter: Integrating Writing and Deep Comprehension \nBuilding on Day 1’s unit framework\, Day 2 shifts to the practical\, day-to-day work of moving students beyond surface-level reading and into critical analysis — using the powerful connection between reading and writing as the engine for deeper thinking. Educators will design scaffolded reading experiences that build skills progressively\, craft text-dependent writing prompts that challenge students to synthesize and reflect\, and develop graphic organizers and templates that help all learners organize their thinking and express ideas with clarity. You’ll learn scaffolds to deepen student understanding\, foster higher-order thinking\, and create a learning environment where reading and writing meaningfully inform one another. In the afternoon\, participants continue drafting their unit with ready-to-use scaffolds and tools that support every student on the path from teacher-led modeling to independent application. \nKey Learning Objectives: \n\nlearn strategies for using the writing process as a tool to process complex texts and check for understanding\ncreate “Close Reading” sequences that move students from literal comprehension to inferential analysis\ndevelop scaffolds to transition from teacher-led modeling to collaborative practice and independent application\ncraft an “Essential Question” and a “Culminating Task” that drive the unit’s instructional path\nidentify and select diverse texts and supplementary materials based to supports the unit’s end goal\ndevelop text-dependent writing prompts that demonstrate their learning\n\n Day 3: Authentic Assessment & Reflective Practice \nWith a fully drafted unit in hand\, Day 3 focuses on closing the loop — equipping educators with the assessment tools and reflective practices needed to measure student growth\, respond to real-time data\, and continuously strengthen instruction. Participants will develop rigorous summative assessments\, student-friendly rubrics\, and a bank of formative quick-checks that keep every student’s progress visible and actionable. Educators leave with a complete\, ready-to-implement ELA unit — including assessments\, scaffolds\, and a structured reflection protocol — so students are set up for success from the very first day of school. \nKey Learning Objectives: \n\nunderstand summative assessments that demonstrate mastery\nexplore how graphic organizers and other writing scaffolds promote deep comprehension and learning\ncreate a toolkit with quick\, actionable ways to pivot instruction based on real-time student data\ndevelop clear\, student-friendly rubrics that streamline grading and maximize growth\ndesign a summative performance task that directly connects with the learning goals\ncreate a rubric and a bank of formative assessment “quick-checks” to monitor student progress in real-time\ndevelop a post-instructional reflection protocol to evaluate the overall effectiveness of any unit

SUMMARY:Expository Writing Instruction Summer 2026
DESCRIPTION:Date: August 18\, 19\, and 20\, 2026\, 9:00 a.m. – 2:30 p.m. ET\nInstructor: Betsy MacDermott-Duffy\, MsEd & Ann Spataro\, MsEd.\nGrades: K-12\nLocation: In-person at the Windward Westchester Lower School Campus in White Plains\, NY or virtual\nPrice: $650.00\nCredentials: 16.5 Approved CTLE Hours \nDescription: \nExpectations to meet rigorous writing standards begin in the early grades and extend through high school. In this course\, Betsy M. Duffy\, MS Ed\, Special Projects Advisor to the Windward Institute\, will present strategies for teaching expository writing in all content areas in grades K through 12. \nThis prominent writing program\, developed at The Windward School\, is based on large statistical research studies for best practices in writing and utilizes strategies outlined in publications such as the Elementary and Secondary Institute of Education Sciences (IES) Practice Guides (Graham\, et al.). Approaches from Teaching Basic Writing Skills (TBWS): Strategies for Effective Expository Writing Instruction by Judith C. Hochman and TBWS Templates by Betsy MacDermott-Duffy are incorporated with findings from Writing to Read: Evidence for How Writing Can Improve Reading (Graham & Hebert\, 2010) and “Effectiveness of Literacy Programs Balancing Reading and Writing Instruction: A Meta-analysis” (Graham et al.\, 2017). This writing program can be implemented in general education and special education classrooms across grade K through 12. \nKey Learning Objectives: \n\nlearn specific evidence-based techniques to add structure\, coherence\, and clarity to students’ expository writing\nidentify instructional guidelines for developing complex sentences\, outlining\, writing paragraphs and compositions\, and revising and editing\ngain examples that explicitly demonstrate how to teach foundational and organizational skills necessary to write an argumentative essay\ndevelop an overview of how to plan an expository reading lesson as springboard to writing
