Explore Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment Expectations of the New York State P-12 Science Learning Standards (NYSSLS) for Grades 3-5 Presented by Glen Cochrane-8:30-2:30pm

In this full-day workshop, we will start by reviewing the science standards that outline what students in grades 3-5 are expected to know and be able to do. Teaching and learning are intended to be three-dimensional, with the Disciplinary Core Ideas (content), Science Practices (skills), and Crosscutting Concepts (themes) present in all lessons. NYSSLS is designed with progressive expectations across grade bands K-2, 3-5, MS, and HS, making elementary science a foundation for secondary science.We will review clusters from released Elementary Level Science exams to demonstrate the skills and knowledge students need to succeed on the Grade 5 computer-based tests. Principles of assessment will be included, along with time for teachers to use assessment tools to develop and evaluate their work. Included will be:-A review of the NYSSLS expectations for curriculum, instruction, and student learning for elementary level students;-Using a System of Assessment to evaluate student progression of learning;-Using the Performance Level Descriptions (PLDs) to review how they can be used to review curriculum opportunities for students to learn and how they are aligned to assessment;-Reviewing released item-clusters from the ELS demonstrating alignment to NYSSLS;-Reviewing sample 3D lessons aligned with the NYSSLS; -Comparing curriculum with novel NYSSLS-based assessments.**B.Y.O.D.
