(2019) School can be overwhelming for an ENL student at the entering stage of learning English. In this workshop, you will leave with strategies you can try on the next day as you support students to meet the academic demands of middle school while at the same time creating a safe, comfortable learning environment. Come ready to learn and share strategies while you engage with your colleagues.

(2019) Mental health issues have been a concern across the state. This session is an opportunity to engage with a team of Behavioral Health Professionals. Using scenarios from Migrant Educators across the state, the team from Finger Lakes Community Health has created a workshop to answer your questions. Join us for an engaging discussion responding to you and your colleagues’ mental health concerns. Come with questions, and leave with skills to add to your toolbox.

(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.
