When students feel disregulated, learning and connection can fall apart. In this workshop, educator Becca Burk shares practical, classroom-tested tools that help K–5 students understand and manage their emotions. You’ll learn how to introduce the language of regulation, model coping strategies, and co-create tools like mood meters and regulation charts.

Whether you're teaching side-by-side every day or collaborating for parts of the week, strong co-teaching can make a world of difference for students. In this practical and energizing virtual workshop, Alicia Luick and The Reading & Writing Project at Mossflower will share tried-and-true strategies to help co-teachers, paraprofessionals, and aides plan, teach, and problem-solve together with confidence.

Across the 2025-2026 school year, literacy leaders from across Long Island will gather to build a shared vision for powerful, equitable reading, writing, and phonics instruction.

Artificial intelligence is changing the way students read, write, and think—and it’s changing teaching, too. In this timely and practical virtual workshop, Phil Seyfried and The Reading & Writing Project at Mossflower will guide K–12 educators through smart, strategic ways to integrate AI tools into reading and writing instruction.

Multilingual learners bring rich language resources and lived experiences to their writing. In this workshop, Sarah Mann and Cynthia Satterlee from The Reading & Writing Project at Mossflower will share practical, asset-based strategies to support multilingual students at every stage of the writing process—from idea generation to revision to publication.

When your writers need different things and your time is stretched thin, a predictable and flexible small group structure can help you teach responsively without starting from scratch every day.
