Teacher Toolbox Series: Teaching Diverse Students in Early Childhood Classrooms Thursday, March 4 6:00 PM 7:00 PM (EST) We live in an increasingly diverse world, where we frequently interact with people who are different from us. Our schools also mirror this diversity. Unfortunately, not all students are represented in our schools. Some are marginalized and discriminated. This treatment can make them feel invisible, isolated, and alienated.... In this webinar, you will gain concrete strategies to create an inclusive learning environment so that all students feel represented and valued. This can develop cognitive, social, and emotional skills and generate empathy and tolerance in our students. Topics will include: Classroom décor and diversity Story time and inclusivity Developing tolerance through diversity appreciation Simple assistive and adaptive technologies Mindful teaching (Hoberman sphere and Pomodoro technique) About the Presenter Dr. Fawzia Reza is an early childhood educator and the diversity and inclusion coordinator at the American College of Education. She recently conducted independent research on teaching diverse learners in early childhood classrooms, and she has authored or co-authored several studies that highlight discrepancies in educational systems.

COVE is excited to present our newest offering for students and families: the 2020-2021 COVE College Access Workshop Series! In this 5-part series students and their families will learn the basics as well as some insider tips for success from the beginning of your college search to what to do when you actually get to campus. We believe college access is not just about applying for a school, but also about understanding how to prepare to navigate college financially, academica...lly, and socially. We will explore topics including the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid), understanding your admissions offer and financial aid award, and diverse paths to college success including breaking down what the transfer admissions process is, the benefits for students, and steps to prepare to transfer successfully. These workshops were designed and will be delivered by two financial aid professionals who combined have attended and/or worked at CUNY, the University of Virginia, Amherst College, Harvard University, and Columbia University. We have been affiliated both as students and as volunteers with a number of college access organizations including QuestBridge and 1vyG with a specific focus on the experiences of First Generation/Low Income (FGLI) students and other marginalized groups, and we are excited to share information that will be especially valuable to these groups as well. Our first workshop, Intro to College Admissions, will be on Monday, December 14th at 7-8:30 p.m. EST. Attendees will discuss college and financial aid options, offering a broad overview of different degree programs, application processes, fee waivers, and scholarship programs. This session has a special focus on the CUNY and SUNY systems and college access opportunity programs (EOP/HEOP and SEEK) available to students in New York State.
