(2019) Trusting relationships are at the core of the NYS-MEP approach.  Many of us are bilingual, yet we as staff do not speak all of the languages migrant families speak.  Most of us will have to communicate through an interpreter during the course of our work.  In this workshop, participants will learn strategies for working with an interpreter so that the relationship is built between themselves and the family, not the interpreter.

(2020) An introduction to the NYS Common Core English Language Arts Regents Exam and an overview of preparation materials designed specifically for Migrant Ed staff & students. The materials provide the option of either a condensed four-session course focusing on reviewing critical skills and exam structure, or a more in-depth twelve-session version that allows student more time to practice the skills they need to excel.

This workshop will take three hours and will provide information about human trafficking awareness, laws, economy, resources, identification and response, as well as, plenty of time for Q & A. We invite all NYS-MEP directors to attend and others who can help pass on information to NYS-MEP staff. Please check with your director should you like to attend.
