SUMMARY:Neurodiversity in a Singularly Focused World
DESCRIPTION:As a neurodivergent person myself\, someone diagnosed with ADHD at five\, it became critical for me\, for my survival to continually translate myself for the world around me. I had to hold onto who I am/was while learning how the other 80% of the people of the world thought and how it differed drastically from my own patterns of thinking. I wanted to and needed to be able to show up as myself in my personal life\, work life\, networking\, building a business and a speaking/consulting practice. I realized along the way how many companies would benefit from learning how we neurodivergent people see the world and how it would transform culture and profitability when done intentionally and with support for all involved. Diversity empowers curiosity\, which drives innovation and ignites profitability.

SUMMARY:Convention Connections-Between Breaths: Beginning a Reflective Songwriting Practice
DESCRIPTION:When I became an adult\, I asked my father how he switched modes between a high-stress job and the very different demands of family life. He told me he stood at each door\, to work and home\, and took several deep breaths. As an arts and health teaching artist and researcher\, I recognize this strategy as an emotional technology. Transitioning through moments\, places\, people\, work\, and relationships takes subtle energy changes. \nWorking internationally with health workers\, educators\, and families of neurodivergent children\, I’ve learned how vital a song can be between breaths. If I wrote this song with my father\, perhaps we’d call it “Before the Door” and explore this theme together. In our workshop\, we’ll explore our own themes and begin your song. Leave this session energized\, tuned in\, full of ideas\, and creatively confident\, either with the beginnings of a song or inspired by each other’s feedback and collaboration. \nThis is a prelude to the conference\, where I’ll be joined by a team of my favorite teaching artists for a collective co-write\, a series of musical activities\, a workshop\, and a culminating performance of this year’s original song.

SUMMARY:Using SEL to See and Connect Beyond Disruptive Behaviors
DESCRIPTION:Years following the return to the classroom after the Covid-19 shutdowns\, educators across the country are still struggling with the aftermath of the pandemic. One of the major concerns facing teachers\, counselors and administrators alike is student behavior. SEL continues to be one of the most powerful tools to effectively address behavioral challenges and prepare students for life inside and outside of the classroom. The question for many is “With so many different aspects of SEL\, where should my focus be in order to reduce disruptive behaviors within the school community?” \nThis interactive session will provide insight and understanding into disruptive behaviors; identify three specific SEL areas to promote positive behavior; and highlight best practices to develop the skills and climate for students to regulate themselves.

SUMMARY:How to Support Multilingual Learners Who Have Had Limited/Interrupted Education
DESCRIPTION:Multilingual Learners (MLs) come to us with various assets. At times\, some of our MLs have had interrupted or inadequate education in their home countries due to many factors. These Students with Limited or Interrupted Education (SLIFE) arrive in our classrooms eager to learn but without the tools necessary to be successful. \nIt is easy to feel overwhelmed in these situations. Luckily\, there are some simple strategies and resources that can help your SLIFE students make great strides. This workshop will share with participants ways to measure students’ basic abilities and then use that information to build a program to support them from where they are. Please be warned that this is not a quick fix as there are sometimes years of learning loss to remediate. Fortunately\, the SLIFE students will feel motivated and engaged once they are achieving at their level and the gaps will be closed at an increasing rate.”

SUMMARY:Holocaust Survivor Speaks and How to Bring them to your Classroom
DESCRIPTION:New Jersey is a pioneer in Holocaust Education and has one of the largest populations of Holocaust Survivors. One of the most meaningful and unique experiences a New Jersey student gets is having a Holocaust Survivor or a descendant of Survivors come to speak to their class. The New Jersey Commission on Holocaust Education and its 30 Holocaust Resource Centers throughout the state are available to assist teachers in giving this experience to their students. This program is designed to\, not only give the experience of hearing a Survivor speak but also to give NJ teachers the tools they need in order to meaningfully and appropriately incorporate live testimony into their Holocaust lessons.
