LLI Primary Systems deliver the engaging\, efficient\, and effective intervention that can give students the boost they need to read at the same level as their peers in as little as 18-24 weeks. The intervention should take place consistently in suggested small groups in addition to classroom literacy instruction to see maximum results. In this workshop\, participants will receive three-days of intensive training (two days of start-up training and one follow-up day) on the LLI systems and will learn specific skills and strategies to address the needs of readers who are not yet at grade -level proficiency. In addition to an overview of the components and implementation of LLI Second-Edition systems\, professional development for these systems delve into the routines needed for proficiency in reading. Teachers will explore the rich opportunities in the LLI Systems for Phonics\, Fluency\, Comprehension and Writing About Reading. Must attend all 3 days. Materials not included.

Teachers must transition to a NYSSLS based regents biology 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 biology 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 Living Environment Core Curriculum. Having students make connections between the three dimensions of scientific knowledge can better prepare them for the Biology 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 biology’s 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.
