Exploring the NYSSLS Chemistry Investigations 2-day Workshop *IN PERSON* presented by Kathi Dinota – 8:30-2:30pm

This two-day workshop will provide participants with an in-depth opportunity to explore the three required Chemistry Investigations developed to align with the New York State Science Learning Standards (NYSSLS). These performance tasks offer authentic, hands-on scientific and engineering experiences that allow students to demonstrate their understanding chemistry concepts and scientific practices in a real-world context.Chemistry teachers and science administrators will deepen their understanding of the NYSSLS and the expectations for three-dimensional student learning. Participants will learn how these investigations are designed to prepare students for the type of scientific reasoning and application they will encounter on the Physical Setting: Chemistry Regents examination.Workshop highlights include:-A demonstration of how each investigation aligns with NYSSLS performance expectations and dimensions of learning-Discussion on how the investigations function as assessments of student learning-Hands-on experience with the Chemistry Investigations to model classroom implementation-Collaboration time to develop strategies for successful integration into existing curriculaPlease Note:-Participants must bring paper copies of each Chemistry Investigation’s documents. These will not be provided at the workshop. -Participants should plan to attend both days to have the opportunity to explore all three investigations.-Participants should bring a fully charged laptop, iPad, or tablet to download resources and access digital tools during the session.Eligible for 12 hours CTLE credit.
