SUMMARY:Adjusting Instruction to Address Behavior 2-Day Workshop presented by Michelle Levy - 8:30-2:30pm
DESCRIPTION:Many teachers face disruptive behaviors in their classrooms. Researchers have found a relationship between instructional practices\, student engagement\, behavioral issues and academic success. When students are frustrated by academic tasks\, this often results in behaviors that interfere with teaching and learning. Participants will learn effective research based instructional strategies that have been shown to increase student engagement and improve success with academic tasks while creating a positive learning environment for all students. Participants will learn how to identify the reasons behind student behaviors triggered by the presentation and completion of academic tasks and then use this information to develop and implement a variety of instructional practices as well as curricular adaptions and modifications that can lead to improved behavior and academic success. Some of the research based strategies to be presented include differentiated instruction\, Universal Design for Learning\, explicit direct instruction and active engagement strategies. Audience: Teachers\, support staff\, administrators Eligible for 12 hours CTLE credit. Can use 2 Consortium seats. If district pays\, district approval must be confirmed prior to start of session.\nFlyer: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_VxS-Kh82CWm_KqeyGv0dKJdCfN_DZYW/view?usp=sharing\nRegistration: https://www.mylearningplan.com/WebReg/ActivityProfile.asp?D=13208&I=5130631

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

SUMMARY:Deeper Dive into New NYSED Biology Investigations Session 2-Unraveling the Mystery of Lactose Tolerance **IN PERSON** Presented by Glen Cochrane-8:30-2:30pm
DESCRIPTION:Audience: Regents Biology teachers and science leadersSession 2 will allow the participants to explore “Unraveling the Mystery of Lactose Tolerance”. Participants will discover this three-part Investigation is both an assessment and an opportunity for students to learn about a real-world\, authentic\, phenomenon. Science teachers and administrators will deepen their knowledge of the New York State Science Learning Standards (NYSSLS) with their expectations for three-dimensional student learning and how the investigations will prepare students for the 3-D scientific reasoning they will need to perform on the Life Science Biology regents examination.Included will be: \n•    Demonstration of how the investigations align with the NYSSLS; \n•    Suggestions for embedding the investigation in a NYSSLS-aligned curriculum; \n•    How the investigations are an assessment of student learning; \n•    A hands-on experience with the investigations; \n•    An opportunity to collaborate on strategies for successful implementation**Participants must bring paper copies of each Biology Investigation’s documents. These cannot be provided.**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.Sessions 1 and 2 are intended for educators who have not attended a workshop on Biology investigations.
