Teachers must transition to a NYSSLS based regents ESS course. The format of the new exam will be item clusters\, groups of multiple items that provide a coherent path towards building the three dimensions (Disciplinary Core Ideas\, Crosscutting Concepts\, and Science and Engineering Practices) anchored in a phenomenon. Following a phenomena-based storyline will provide students the opportunity to demonstrate knowledge in context. Teachers must align their ESS curriculum with the NYSSLS expectations which will be assessed on the new regents exam. It is possible to transition to the pedagogy that supports the NYSSLS three-dimensional approach while continuing to teach science aligned to the Physical Setting/Earth Science Core Curriculum. Having students make connections between the three dimensions of scientific knowledge can better prepare them for the PS/ES Regents exam while they develop a coherent and scientifically based view of the world. Start with the complex phenomena (for science) or problems (for engineering) and let students ask questions\, explore\, and use the SEPs and CCCs to construct their own understandings of the disciplinary core ideas (content). This is a paradigm shift to students constructing their own understandings with much less memorization of science facts. Students learn by doing science and engineering practices\, engaging in discourse\, and building understandings of Earth and Space Sciences’ main ideas. **B.Y.O.D. (Bring Your Own Device) – Participants should bring a fully charged laptop\, Ipad\, or tablet to download resources and access websites throughout the workshop.FOR FULL DESCRIPTION\, PLEASE VIEW URL:https://www.wsboces.org/event/preparing-students-for-the-new-earth-and-space-sciences-regents-exam-transitioning-regents-earth-science-courses-to-the-three-dimensions-of-the-new-york-state-science-learning-standards-in-person/ LOCATION:NY CATEGORIES:Instructional Support Services Full Calendar END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20231017T083000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20231017T143000 DTSTAMP:20260407T223931 CREATED:20240111T160600Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240111T160601Z UID:19754-1697531400-1697553000@www.wsboces.org SUMMARY:Writing for Mastery **IN PERSON** Presented by Maureen Martin - 8:30-2:30pm DESCRIPTION:Students become better writers when reading\, writing and thinking are linked.
