New Visions Biology – Will This Be On The Regents? *IN PERSON* – 8:30-2:30pm

Designed for teachers in their first years of implementing New Visions Biology, this series of six unit-based workshops provides just-in-time support as teachers move through the curriculum. Each session builds understanding of an upcoming unit’s storyline and key instructional decisions, with a focus on translating the pedagogical shifts of the NYSSLS – phenomena-driven instruction, 3D learning and assessment, real-world relevance, and equitable sensemaking routines – into consistent classroom practice. Teachers leave each session with curriculum-ready materials, a peer-tested strategy, and a deeper understanding of how to use the curriculum to drive scientific thinking. Each unit-based session offers new immersive curriculum experiences and investigates how embedded supports and the Universal Design for Learning framework can inform responsive modifications for students with diverse learning needs. Audience: Science Educators, Lead Teachers, STEM Coordinators, Science Administrators Each session eligible for 6 CTLE credits If district pays, district approval must be confirmed prior to start of each session. In this hands-on Biology session, we will dig into assessment tasks and experience how they directly connect to the curriculum to build student readiness for the Regents exam. By analyzing three-dimensional learning in prior Biology Regents, we will explore how integrated tasks support student growth and identify strategies for using assessment data to inform daily instruction. We will also see how the curriculum can help teachers feel confident that what they’re teaching will truly set students up for success on the Regents.
