Bridging the Gap: SchoolAI for Essay Writing Support in the Academic and Special Ed Classroom
Wednesday November 20, 2024 1:00pm - 1:50pm EST
Room 214
Feedback Survey
For many students in academic and special education classes, one of the greatest hurdles to essay writing is the struggle of actually putting pen to paper. Many times students sit and stare at a blank screen, just for them to be able to verbalize their arguments when you intervene. While many students understand what is required mechanically when writing an argumentative essay, it is a combination of confidence, language deficit, and the need for individual assistance that often stops them in their tracks. Enter SchoolAI as a powerful tool for problem solving and support that promotes self-advocacy with the ability to tailor the student experience to your desires! Explore how I have used this tool in both settings and take away a lesson exemplar for introducing an AI co-pilot to the essay writing process!

Wednesday November 20, 2024 1:00pm - 1:50pm EST

Feedback Survey
"According to the National Insitute on Drug Abuse, opioid overdose deaths continue to significantly increase each year, with more than 80,000 overdose deaths reported in 2021. Bystanders can act to prevent overdose deaths if they have access to NARCAN (naloxone HCI). Naloxone is an opioid antagonist - meaning that it binds to opioid receptors and can reverse an overdose from opioids, including heroin, fentanyl, and prescription opioid medications. Anyone can carry naloxone, give it to someone experiencing an overdose, and potentially save a life.

NARCAN training will be provided by Hope One, Morris County's mobile outreach vehicle for addiction, recovery, and mental health services. Participants will learn how to identify the symptoms of a potential overdose, how to deliver a dose of NARCAN, and steps to take until emergency responders arrive. All participants who complete the training will receive a NARCAN kit to take with them.

NARCAN training is mandatory for school nurses, athletic trainers, Coordinators of Athletics and Activities, building administrators, and members of the Emergency Response Team. It is highly recommended for coaches, advisors, and any staff members who routinely supervise students when a nurse is not present. All staff are invited to participate.

If after completing the training, any participant who is not comfortable with the idea of administering NARCAN at school or during school functions, may give their kit to the school nurse or take the kit home for personal use.

Input: The Gasoline that Drives Language Acquisition
Wednesday November 20, 2024 1:00pm - 3:30pm EST
Library
Feedback Survey
In the last forty years, second language acquisition (SLA) research has made fascinating discoveries about how the human mind does and does not acquire a second language. Dedicated, highly competent world language faculty now face the challenge of applying current SLA theories in their classrooms as they strive to meet the New Jersey Standard for World Languages. his is a hands-on workshop for world language teachers who are interested in experiencing a number of current, language teaching techniques and examining the language theories on which they are based. This is not a lecture but rather an interactive workshop which will offer the participants the opportunity to experience firsthand a basic language classroom in a less commonly taught language. Following this model, teachers will explore SLA theories and their concrete applications in a standards-based classroom. Special emphasis will be given to the role of input, the critical element in language acquisition. All professional educators continually strive to improve their teaching. This lively, participant-based workshop is intended to support this development!

I will walk you through the steps of having students submit unconventional file types and media, and use Canvas Rubrics to grade them.

School Counselors: College Admission Trends You Need to Know
Wednesday November 20, 2024 3:00pm - 3:30pm EST
Room 214
Feedback Survey
After attending the NACAC Conference in Las Angeles, I learned that the last few years have resulted in major changes that affect how school counselors can best advise their students. Backed by research from the NACAC, I would like to share college application data, updated factors in admissions decisions, and the perception of what students believe is important in admissions vs. what is ACTUALLY important in admissions.

Room 131
Feedback Survey
In this session, teachers will be introduced to the note-taking method known as Cornell notes. This note-taking method focuses on encouraging students to consistently interact with class content both in the classroom and at home. Cornell notes is particularly useful to 9th grade students as a means of introducing them to executive functioning skills. In this session, teachers will be taught the notes format, shown how to introduce this method to their students, and be shown different methods of implementing these notes in their classrooms (on paper or digitally).

Feedback Survey
This course was designed to teach how to recognize and control life-threatening hemorrhaging. The focus of this program is the immediate response to bleeding. It will teach how someone can take appropriate skills to control bleeding until help arrives.They will get the chance to stop the "bleed" by packing "wounds" and applying tourniquets. ( I chose 50min but I may be able to do it in 30 minutes if you only need 30 min presentations.)
