Settling in to the 2024-25 School Year
As we settle in to the school year, educators are most likely still working at building relationships with and among their students, and while most students are meeting behavioral and academic expectations, many are not. And from what many teachers have told me, even those who are meeting expectations seem to lack the motivation to expend more than the minimum effort.
Whether you are looking for: 1) ways to engage students; 2) uses of AI in education; 3) ways to integrate SEL into the curriculum 4) exciting book studies;5) how to help anxious or depressed students; 6) how to take care of yourself in stressful times and more, The WNY Teacher Center is here to help. Please take a look at all our excellent free courses and book studies in our Frontline Course Catalog.
Also, our poster-maker, laminator and Ellison Cut-Out can help you enhance your classroom atmosphere.
Please plan to visit the Western NY Teacher Center (Erie 1 BOCES Education Campus, 355 Harlem Rd. West Seneca, NY, Building C, Room C-141), peruse our available resources, and/or use our state-of-the-art color poster maker and laminator. The Teacher Center is open for your use Tuesdays and Thursdays from 11:00 am to 4:00 pm, but we recommend emailing Director Jon Erwin (jerwin@e1b.org) to make an appointment.
