In the age of data driven classroom instruction, learning how to leverage the iPad as a summative and formative assessment tool can be invaluable. In this workshop, we will explore various possibilities for using the iPad to replace the traditional Student Response System. We will look at different apps available for the iPad which act as Student Response Systems, and discuss the benefits and limitations of these apps.

Almost all students use Facebook and other social networks in their everyday lives. It is important that we make learning relevant to our students. One way to achieve this is by introducing social learning networks into the classroom. In this workshop you will explore various online social learning networks / learning management systems such as Edmodo and Schoology. You will create your own classroom, explore the various tools unique to each offering, and fully appreciate the collaborative potential of these web tools. These social learning networks help facilitate the move towards a blended learning environment.

This one-day workshop helps administrators, curriculum directors, and other instructional leaders explore the implications the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) have on English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics content and curriculum, classroom instruction and assessment, and building and district culture. It also explains how changes in those areas relate to successfully implementing the Common Core.

To support those who have taken on the challenges of the principalship, SAANYS and the Magellan Foundation, Inc. have developed The New Principals Institute: Investing in Success. The institute will prepare a new principal for a bright beginning, a successful first year, and a new stage in their career. Bringing together veteran administrators as institute facilitators, this year-long institute will provide practical information, strategies, and insights. The institute will take place over four sessions and will take educational leaders through that tough first year, covering topics in an appropriate order.
