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. 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/1QJqzsj-aSdOc7mVUZjoV4DuGKl2_TBGv/view?usp=sharing\nRegistration: https://www.mylearningplan.com/WebReg/ActivityProfile.asp?D=13208&I=5263116

SUMMARY:Teaching a NYSSLS-Based Biology Course; Now What? Presented by Glen Cochrane *IN PERSON* - 8:30-2:30pm
DESCRIPTION: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. (Bring Your Own Device) – Participants should bring a fully charged laptop\, Ipad\, or tablet to download resources and access websites during the workshop.Eligible for 6 hours CTLE credit. Can use 1 consortium seat.If district pays\, district approval must be confirmed prior to start of session.\nTO VIEW FULL DESCRIPTION\, PLEASE SEE FLYER: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1yzNfypIjnBFpEv5jgGQF-tuHu8QMMEEj/view?usp=sharing\nRegistration: https://www.mylearningplan.com/WebReg/ActivityProfile.asp?D=13208&I=5248524

SUMMARY:Become a More Confident Grammar Teacher! Gr K-6 *IN PERSON* presented by Sarah Cordova / Literacy Matters - 8:30-2:30pm
DESCRIPTION:Grammar lessons are taking place in our classrooms daily\, yet our students do not seem to retain the skills\, nor are they particularly excited about these incredibly powerful meaning-making tools. However\, there is a way to deliver solid\, practical grammar instruction that has been right under our noses all this time. Using texts that you are already using in your classroom\, along with a new lens for looking at language\, participants will leave with strategies to start teaching “grammar that sticks” in their own classrooms with little prep and lots of excitement. ***Participants should bring a few of their anchor texts\, read alouds\, and mentor texts to the workshop. Eligible for 6 hours CTLE credit. Can use 1 Consortium seat. If district pays\, district approval must be confirmed prior to start of session.\nFlyer: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1unhd2GTrpw2evT2K4TurM9Z0wEetJNYq/view?usp=sharing\nRegistration; https://www.mylearningplan.com/WebReg/ActivityProfile.asp?D=13208&I=5282057

SUMMARY:Unlock Potential: Cultivating the Intellectual Behaviors of the NYS Portrait of a Graduate *IN PERSON* presented by Nicole Moriarty - 8:30-2:30pm
DESCRIPTION:Unlock the power of the NYS Portrait of a Graduate with a practical framework that makes these attributes teachable\, visible\, and meaningful across PreK-12. Through the Habits of Mind\, educators learn simple routines and shared language that integrate seamlessly into daily instruction-bringing clarity\, coherence\, and authentic measures of student growth. We Will Explore -The Portrait of a Graduate A clear look at the six attributes and why they matter for students from PreK through 12th grade. You will see how these attributes already show up in moments of teaching and learning across the day. -The Habits of Mind A practical framework that takes the Portrait of a Graduate from broad ideas to concrete\, teachable habits. These habits guide students to think deeply\, work through challenges\, use language precisely\, and navigate tasks when the answer is not immediately obvious. -Making Growth Visible How to help students notice\, use\, and reflect on these habits so growth becomes visible to them\, to teachers\, and to families. This brings clarity to measurement and progress in ways that feel authentic and supportive. Eligible for 6 hours CTLE credit. Can use 1 Consortium seat. If district pays\, district approval must be confirmed prior to start of session.\nFlyer: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1zVgCajEcx3peZ1YY60xZtS81H3u6etBA/view?usp=sharing\nRegistration: https://www.mylearningplan.com/WebReg/ActivityProfile.asp?D=13208&I=5296989
