TRAUMA-INFORMED TEACHING (CLOSED FOR REGISTRATION)
Course No. ED472f, ED572f
Research shows that approximately 25%, 1 in 4 students, experience or witness a major traumatic event by four years old (Hydon et al., 2015). In order to reach and support all students, we must approach everything we do through a trauma-informed lens.
RACIAL JUSTICE IN EDUCATION (CLOSED FOR REGISTRATION)
Course No. ED472b, ED572b
Systemic racism and racial bias negatively impact the social, emotional, and academic lives of non-white students, teachers, and staff in our schools. The multiple impacts of these issues are both immediate and long-lasting. In this course, participants will explore racial identity and racial privilege. Awareness, knowledge, and understanding of systemic inequity; of one's own racial and cultural identity; and students' racial and cultural identity are cornerstones for teaching that more effectively meet the need of all students, and in particular, non-white students and historically marginalized students.
WRITING STRATEGIES THAT WORK FOR EVERY CLASSROOM (CLOSED FOR REGISTRATION)
Course No. ED464u, ED564u

The best way to engage these less confident grade 4-12 writers is to give them something powerful to think about. You will develop a means to focus student thinking, fuel deeper learning, and build complex understanding in English, social studies, math, and science. Plus strategies that support young writers to unlock their writing skills. Text about $25 at Amazon.
AUTHENTIC ASSESSMENT FOR ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNERS (CLOSED FOR REGISTRATION)
Course No. ED459i, ED559i
More than ever before, teachers need to understand how- and what- to assess when seeking to understand the learning of students in the classroom. As our schools and classrooms become more linguistically diverse, teachers will benefit from knowing what assessment methods will be the most accurate, effective, and useful tools for driving instruction and making placement decisions for ELL students. The text, Assessment and ESL, is a comprehensive guide to assessment of English language learners. This course will offer tools and suggestions for authentic assessment that will help both students and teachers to identify key areas of focus for instruction.
