This program introduces the principles that form the backbone of this video library—effective practices for engaging in literature. Dr. Judith Langer explains the characteristics that decades of research have shown to be most effective in building classrooms where students are active learners, building and sharing their individual and richly involved understandings of works of literature—what she calls envisionments. These characteristics are shown in action through introductory visits to the classrooms of the eight teachers who appear in this video library. (18:50)

The varied viewpoints necessary for valuable class discussions are
celebrated in this program. The group talks about the diversity of their students and how their interactions with literature are shaped in part by their life experiences, unique thoughts, and previous reading
experiences. They examine the worth of using the lens of multiple
perspectives to examine a work of literature, and offer suggestions for ways to encourage each student to contribute to the ongoing classroom conversation. Dr. Langer offers her thoughts on involving students’ diverse voices in a way that honors all of their contributions.

In order to grow in their careers, teachers need a great deal of
sustenance. In this program, the teachers talk about the ways in which they fulfill this need as they develop individually and as members of a professional community. The group invites us into their classrooms to look at the way they have grown professionally, stimulated by their peers, their membership in professional organizations, and their willingness to seek out new thinking on literature and teaching literature. Dr. Langer also describes the personal and professional benefits of an active professional life.

This 14-minute video provides an overview of the Common Core State Standards in ELA/Literacy. NYS Commissioner of Education John B. King Jr. and contributing author David Coleman discuss the background of the Common Core State Standards, their value in the state, the principles of their development, and the changes required of schools during this transition. The video provides an introduction or re-introduction to the standards, as well as fodder for a discussion about what it will mean to implement these standards. After watching this video, educators might examine the performance data for their school (including 3-8 proficiency rates, 3-8 advanced performance, 3-8 subgroup performance, ELA Regents passing rates, ELA Regents aspirational performance (above a 75), the attainment of a Regents Diploma with advanced designation (7-9 Regents Exams with a score of 65 or above), participation in AP English Literature and AP English Language, performance on the AP exam, etc.) and ask themselves: Why the Common Core? Why Now? What are our takeaways regarding the 6 shifts in instruction for ELA/ Literacy? What are the implications for our school/ department/ district? Which of these shifts, at first glance, feel like natural, logical transitions for us and our students, and which feel like they will be more challenging?This is just one way of conducting professional development around this video. We encourage you to use this opportunity to share your ideas and experiences. Please contribute to the discussion by telling us how YOU have used these videos! Which discussion questions did you find sparked the most collaboration amongst educators? What professional learning experiences did you design around the viewing? We want to hear from you so that educators across the state can benefit from your experience!

Animated Video- The original fairy tale of Sleeping Beauty is changed to the new tale of Leaping Beauty. Beauty steps on a witch's toe, and the witch changes her into a bore who talks everyone to sleep. Having bored everyone in her village with all of her talking, she is banished to the forest with the wild boars. Her spell is finally broken when her prince, in the forest hunting wild boars, accidentally kisses her! Everyone lives happily ever after, except the witch. Narrated by Edward Everett Horton. Might be of value in a language arts class to show students how literature can change through time or what a satire is. Otherwise, of little value outside of humor. (05:37)
