In this virtual professional development opportunity designed for teachers, participants will have a chance to authentically engage with activities and experts as they grow their understanding of how climate change has and will impact their community. Teachers analyze and interpret recent climate science data and progress understanding on the most salient climate change indicators in Washington. Additionally, teachers explore the efforts to conserve and protect a local species, its cultural significance and how these efforts are indicative of a greater effort to address climate change. Teachers leave this training with increased preparedness to leverage a local species or climate change impact in their classroom to spur action in their community. Contact EarthGen at info@earthgenwa.org for more information.

An emergent learner could be described as someone in the initial stages of learning to read and write and encompasses all behaviors and understandings preceding conventional reading and writing, as noted by Koppenhaver, Coleman, Kalman, and Yoider (1991) and Sulzby (1985). With the help of high-quality instruction, emergent learners will be provided the opportunity to acquire foundational reading and writing skills. As all beginning communicators, emergent learners rely on those around them to provide access and instruction to age-respectful and meaningful learning opportunities. Challenges may arise for students who struggle to manipulate books physically or for those who are non-speaking and/or use aided AAC. In such cases, this module offers solutions to support you as their teacher. Teachers must also face the reality of instructing all different learning levels, whether they are at the emergent, transitional, or conventional stages of literacy learning. This module also supports the creation of high-quality literacy lesson planning to meet your student's needs regardless of their learning stage. This task can be daunting and difficult without the right tools.  Using OpenAI to support material adaptation and modifications can assist teachers in removing barriers and ensuring that all students can engage in enriching reading and writing experiences.

At OSPI, part of our mission is to prepare students for civic engagement throughout their lives. We believe our schools must engage and empower students, from an early age, with opportunities to participate in civil conversations, examples of effective civic engagement, and tools to find peaceful solutions to community problems.OSPI’s Social Studies and Social-Emotional Learning teams have put together resources for educators, families, and students to help with these difficult conversations.
