SUMMARY:Social Media's Ripple Effect: Supporting Students in a Connected World
DESCRIPTION:A team of researchers shares insights on social media’s impact and strategies to help students navigate\, report\, and reduce harmful content.\n\n\nDescription \no RECOGNIZE how students are being influenced. This workshop aims to help participants identify and decode hateful elements in trending content\, including algostrategies\, false and misleading information\, punchlines\, and microaggressions. \n \no REPORT and/or take appropriate (in)action. Because cognitive skills related to perception\, awareness\, and empathy are still developing\, teens frequently dismiss hate and extremism as an inevitable part of viral participation. This workshop emphasizes teaching students to become active\, as opposed to passive\, consumers of social media. \n \no REDUCE exposure to hate and extremism. With the influence and intention of social media algorithms\, the concern is that viral trends may be an entry point into a meandering rabbit hole that leads toward more extremist views. This workshop helps participants assist students in reducing this exposure. \n \nBackground | We are a multidisciplinary and multiorganizational research team\, funded by the Collaboratory Against Hate Research and Action Center in Pittsburgh\, PA\, studying viral extremism on TikTok to create an educational intervention to raise awareness\, mitigate harm\, and prevent radicalization especially among young digital native people. \nWhat to Bring | Laptop or tablet\, if possible \nWho Should Attend | Teachers\, Administrators\, School Counselors\, Library Media Specialists \nLunch will be provided.

SUMMARY:Administrator-Focused Science Professional Learning
DESCRIPTION:This administrator-focused PL offering was specifically designed to help leaders support shifts in science instruction towards PA STEELS\n\n\nWho: Any and all administrators (district or building) or explicitly defined science leaders (e.g.\, department head\, coach\, grade-level lead) are invited to attend \nWhen: April 1\, 2025 from 8:00 AM – 3:30 PM and April 2\, 2025 from 8:00 AM – 12:30 PM \nWhere: Allegheny Intermediate Unit\, 475 E. Waterfront Drive\, Homestead\, PA 15120 \nPrice: $350 \nWhat: The Principals Learn and Network to Support 3-Dimensional Science Learning (PLANS) is a one-and-a-half day\, interactive experience emphasizing Instructional leadership and active support for K-12 teachers at both the building and district level. This pathway is specifically created for instructional leaders interested in knowing more about and figuring out constructive strategies for supporting teachers and students as they make shifts in their teaching and learning towards phenomenon-based\, three-dimensional science. \nPLANS participants are immersed in actively learning in ways that NGSS \, PA STEELS standards\, and education research calls for students to learn science in the classroom. Administrators experience firsthand what it feels\, looks\, and sounds like when K-12 students are figuring out why phenomena happen as well as representing their thinking through modeling and productive classroom talk. Administrators use some of the important tools for making thinking public that teachers and students use in NGSS-designed units. Then\, administrators have opportunities to reflect together on what it means for students and teachers to work together as a community —- and how they can support this work themselves. \nThroughout the PLANS experience\, participants consider the ways in which their school can begin (or continue) to make these shifts. They see examples of students engaged in NGSS-designed learning in classrooms\, as well as administrators supporting teachers as they begin to implement the changes called for by NGSS. They explore concrete tools they can use to support teachers (for example\, in planning meetings\, observations\, and debriefs)\, and they begin to plan how they might use these tools themselves. \nThe shifts motivated by the National Research Council’s Framework for K-12 Science Education (2012) and the NGSS (and embraced by PA in the STEELS standards ) are substantial. Yet we know that these shifts are possible for teachers to make. We also know that the shifts are productive for student learning\, and they must be supported through pedagogy and classroom culture. Instructional leadership and active support at the building and district level is an important part of a successful outcome for teachers of science and for their students! \nTech: Please bring a laptop and/or tablet to access online resources.
