Day by Day NY Family Literacy Calendar

DaybyDayNY is a website for young children and their families. It is part of the New York State Library early literacy initiative Ready to Read at New York Libraries.

The New York State Library hopes that families across New York State will use this interactive calendar to develop a love for books and learning that will last a lifetime. The calendar uses multimedia to enhance books, songs, and family health and bring these components to life. If families can only spend a few minutes together, this calendar will give them something they can use to make sure that this is quality time as well as educational time.

How to Meet the Needs of Students with Disabilities- Free CTD Webinar

Join Kathleen Fulton,
author of Time for Learning: Top 10 Reasons Why Flipping the Classroom Can Change Education
for an engaging conversation.

Flipping the classroom is one of the hottest trends in education today.  When teachers send lessons home for students to watch as homework, valuable class time can be spent working in small groups and   one-on-one with students. This allows teachers to focus on those areas where students are struggling and need individual support.   This webinar will illustrate the potential benefits of flipped classrooms for students with disabilities and those who struggle, highlighting how teachers can use technology to “flip” the teaching and learning process to enhance teaching and learning.
