Fall has officially returned to New York, and along with the cooler temperatures and pumpkin spice, teachers across the state are celebrating back-to-school season! The PDRC team is excited to offer many in-person and virtual events this fall to support teachers in their own learning as they navigate creating classroom routines, diving into the curriculum, and building new relationships with students. Please see our website for more information about our upcoming sessions!
If you are an educational leader and are looking for an opportunity to develop your own skill set, engage in dialogue with colleagues, and learn from leading experts in the educational field, look no further than the 41st annual Religious and Independent Schools Educators (RISE) conference.
This two-day educational leadership summit will be held in Albany on November 12th and November 13th, and is open to all religious and independent school leaders. Come be a part of discussions and breakout sessions on prominent topics in education, such as community engagement, inspiring lead teachers, effective use of AI in the classroom, and many others! With a variety of collaboration opportunities and dynamic presentations, this event is bound to be the highlight of the fall!

Additional Resources
HAVE YOU READ A GOOD BOOK LATELY?
Book Clubs promote a love for literature in a positive and nurturing environment. They bring together a community to learn and discuss topics that matter to them. During Book Club gatherings, educators will exchange ideas, perspectives and interpretations of the readings and therefore build a richer understanding of the topics.
RETURNING TO CALMER, STIMULATING LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS
One of the key lessons that educators, parents, and communities in general have learned is the value of social emotional development and mental health, and its relevancy to learning. In addition, we have also learned the value of attending to our own SEL and mental health to care for others, that is its relevancy to effective teaching.
