SUMMARY:"It Takes the Village!": Exploring the Role of Expanded Learning Opportunities in Improving Early Literacy Outcomes
DESCRIPTION:On January 30th\, The Education Trust–New York launched The New York Campaign for Early Literacy — a statewide movement to improve student reading outcomes\, from birth to age 8. The Campaign is a continuum of their work to ensure New York State and local school districts prioritize early literacy and the science of reading. Schools and families should not\, in isolation\, address the literacy challenge in New York. Afterschool\, summer\, and other expanded learning programs are positioned to serve as partners providing high-quality\, early literacy support. \nJoin the New York State Network for Youth Success for the release of our new policy brief to learn more about how high-quality expanded learning opportunities foster early literacy education. We will also spotlight how several afterschool and community-based organizations are promoting early literacy through innovative initiatives and partnerships. \nPanelists  \n\nTarja Parssinen\, Founder/Director\, WNY Education Alliance\nJune Muto\, Lead\, Wayne MOST (Maximizing-Out-of-School Time)\nSamuel L. Radford III\, Director of Masten Resource Center\, Community Action Organization of WNY

SUMMARY:Reflecting and Processing STEM Experiences
DESCRIPTION:Description: Too often\, STEM (science\, technology\, engineering and mathematics) activities happen with little to no time for youth to think about what they did\, what they learned\, and why it matters. The ability to reflect and process not only improves the STEM experience\, but builds the socioemotional learning (SEL) skill of listening and understanding other people’s viewpoints. In this training\, participants will practice leading an engineering activity in a way that incorporates reflection for STEM learning. \nGoal: Participants will practice facilitating the Paper Structures activity to incorporate reflection for STEM learning in order to understand how they can use the reflective process in their STEM activity facilitation. \nObjectives: \n\nParticipants will examine their STEM facilitation practices particularly focused on reflection and processing during STEM learning\nParticipants will practice asking reflective questions throughout a STEM activity\nParticipants will discuss the reflective process\nParticipants will develop strategies to help youth process their learning.\n\nOCFS area(s) 3 \nCBK area(s) 4

SUMMARY:Understanding the history of Antisemitism to be an ally in the present
DESCRIPTION:Since the October 7 terrorist attack in Israel\, the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) has tracked 3\,283 antisemitic incidents in the U.S. This is a 360% increase over the same period the previous year. On Thursday\, January 25 at 12 p.m. EST\, please join the Network for a fireside chat with Scott Richman\, ADL New York/New Jersey Regional Director and host of ADL’s “From the Frontlines” podcast. Together we will explore the history of antisemitism and how we can combat this dangerous hate. Learn how to recognize and interrupt the common forms of bias: misinformation\, scapegoating\, stereotypes\, exclusion\, dehumanization\, and oversimplification. New York is home to more Jews than any other city in the country. JEDI often relies on the Jewish community to be an ally. Now it’s our turn to be theirs.

SUMMARY:Site Leader Institute (Fall 2023)
DESCRIPTION:Level up your management skills at the Site Leader Institute! Many site-level managers and directors are promoted to the job\, but not given the training to succeed in the role. The Site Leader Institute covers performance management\, quality improvement\, and time management for afterschool professionals. \nThis Institute is designed for site directors\, program directors\, or other new site-level leaders in afterschool\, summer\, expanded learning\, or grant-funded programs (such as Advantage After School\, 21st Century Community Learning Centers\, Extended School Day/School Violence Prevention\, and the Empire State After-School Program). \nThe goal of this training is to expose new directors to the knowledge base and skill set of effective afterschool supervision and management. The training will focus on the skills and techniques of a supervisor and manager. This includes managing staff roles\, supporting staff development\, and addressing problems effectively. Participants will also explore techniques for managing themselves\, their work\, and the work of others (i.e.\, time management and project management skills). \nIn order to promote positive youth development in afterschool programs\, the trainers will model and utilize those same approaches for the adult learners. Webinars will utilize the chat and polling features in order to promote engagement and critical thinking of participants. In-person trainings will use multiple grouping strategies\, and various techniques for multiple learning styles\, both to teach content effectively and to show supervisors methods they can use with their staff and the youth they serve. \nThe Site Leader Institute is an engaging and participatory event. Participants will engage with each other and with the content. This is not a passive learning experience! \nAll training events will be led by Professional Development Director Timothy Fowler. Read about his qualifications and experience here. \nRegister here\, or click here to learn more about the Site Leader Institute. Registration closes on September 26th\, so act now to reserve your spot.
