A Letter from the Educational School Services Team
Dear Colleagues,
The goal of the Pre K-12 Educational School Services at Camden County College is to provide quality workshops, conferences, and other services to school districts in our regional area and across New Jersey. Through our service, your district or school will be able to access professional development at our locations or at your school district.
With the many State and Federal educational mandates and the desire to keep staff informed of the newest instructional strategies and research based programs, the need for professional development is paramount. As part of our services we can work side by side with district administration and staff in designing and offering effective programs.
Included in this packet is our list of workshops for the 2019-2020 school year. Additionally, if you are interested in a specific topic or category to be presented on your campus, please email us at [email protected] or call our office at 856-227-7200, ext. 4165.

The NJ Student Learning Standards in Science call for a three-dimensional approach to science and engineering education in every K-12 classroom where science is all or part of the curriculum. This shift from previous standards requires both students and teachers to experience “science as both a body of interconnected knowledge and an evidence-based model building enterprise that continually extends, refines, and revises knowledge.” Students asking questions to drive their own learning, constructing scientific explanations to promote understanding, and developing models to represent ideas are essential to this approach. Educators attending this interactive and engaging workshop will:• realize how three-dimensional science teaching and learning is achieved• actualize a strategy through which their students make claims, support claims with evidence, construct explanations and engage in argumentation• recognize how and why students should develop, evaluate, and revise their own models • facilitate an approach to deliberately teach the skill of asking questions

Implementing the model is the best way to advocate for the profession and for your school counseling program – define what you do as a school counselor and how students are different as a result of what you do. This session is perfect for those ready to get started with a comprehensive school counseling program and is also a good refresher for those needing basic information. After attending the session, you will be able to: 1) Explain how implementing the model leads to stronger advocacy for your students and program, 2) Differentiate between direct and indirect services, and 3) Identify ways to share and use data with stakeholders.

Children are naturally curious, and often drive their parents to distractions by asking, “Why? Why? Why?” Curiosity is inherent in the scientific method. One challenge that teachers face is motivating students with demonstrations and lessons which address the New Jersey Student Learning Standards: Science in a way that is relevant, goal oriented, practical, and economical. Often the same demonstration (in terms of materials) can be presented to different grades by scaffolding the questions which the students must consider. A melting ice cube can be a curiosity in First Grade and a thoughtful exercise around both density and phase change in Fifth Grade. A selection of different brands of “white” copier paper transforms from a discussion about using descriptors correctly to an introduction to the electromagnetic spectrum. This course will address a wide range of curricula challenges using materials that can be purchased on a shoe-string budget at local discount stores. Attendees will have the opportunity to experience the lessons, to prepare classroom exercises for their own use, and to ask for assistance against challenges that they have or will face.

Want your students to lose interest quickly? Announce, “We will now review for the test.” This workshop shows ways to add fun and interest to what many students see as boring instructor led monologue. I believe the less a teacher does – more student responsibility the better. That is the focus of this workshop. Some areas covered: numbered heads, games, yes/no answers only, quiz/no quiz, gallery walk, ambush and many more. Laugh and Learn!
