Teaching a NYSSLS-Based Biology Course; Now What? Presented by Glen Cochrane *IN PERSON* – 8:30-2:30pm

Audience: Regents LS: Biology teachers and science leaders Launching a full-year NYSSLS-based Biology course? Whether you’re just getting started or refining your NYSSLS approach for students taking the LS: Biology Regents, this workshop is your opportunity to build confidence, clarity, and effective classroom strategies. It will serve as a refresher, placing three-dimensional, phenomenon-based learning into an instructional context. Regardless of the curriculum your district is using to meet the “new” expectations of the New York State Science Learning Standards (NYSSLS), we’ll unpack the why, how, and what behind these shifts-so you’re not just following a framework; you’re teaching with purpose.NYSSLS demands more from students and educators. Today’s learners are expected to learn science through active participation-asking questions, building models, analyzing data, and applying core ideas to real-world phenomena. It’s not about memorizing facts; it’s about making sense of the natural world through evidence and explanation.This workshop will help you reframe your instruction around scientific thinking, authentic application, and meaningful assessment. You’ll leave with three-dimensional strategies you can implement tomorrow-and a vision that will guide you throughout the year.**B.Y.O.D.
