ML/Title III 2025–26 Professional Development Series
Effective Content Instruction for ML Students in Writing
November 12, 2025 | 3:30 - 5:00 PM
In this session, participants will explore research-based strategies for planning and scaffolding writing tasks across content areas. Together, we will analyze texts to uncover key language features and practice ways to explicitly teach the language functions that drive academic writing. Educators will also gain practical tools for providing meaningful feedback that advances students’ expressive language skills.

Stage Right! Teaching Ethical Performance and Licensing in Theatre
 Do your students know what it really means to perform ethically? In this hands-on webinar, we’ll explore real classroom and production scenarios to help theatre educators teach students how to navigate copyright, licensing, and ethical decision-making in school performances.
From choreography and set design to scripts and digital recordings, we’ll discuss practical strategies for:
- Recognizing when adaptation or inspiration becomes infringement
- Giving proper credit and modeling respect for original creators
- Making informed choices about rehearsal recordings, streaming, and materials reuse
Led by special guest Eric Grapatin (MTI), this session is packed with concrete examples, teacher-friendly discussion prompts, and actionable tips you can bring to your next production. This webinar is perfect for theatre and ELA teachers who want clarity on what’s legal, what’s ethical, and what’s just good practice. Be sure to register for this virtual professional learning opportunity!
Come ready to explore scenarios, ask questions, and leave with tools that make ethical theatre practice clear, engaging, and manageable.
