(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.

(2020) An introduction to the NYS Common Core English Language Arts Regents Exam and an overview of preparation materials designed specifically for Migrant Ed staff & students. The materials provide the option of either a condensed four-session course focusing on reviewing critical skills and exam structure, or a more in-depth twelve-session version that allows student more time to practice the skills they need to excel.
