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:Making Groupwork the Norm: Evolved Strategies for Deeper Collaboration *IN PERSON* presented by Philip Dituri - 8:30-2:30pm
DESCRIPTION:Having students to work collaboratively isn’t just something you do with your students in isolated moments – it’s a culture you cultivate over time. In this newly updated and expanded version of the popular Making Groupwork the Norm workshop\, we’ll dive deeper into the classroom structures\, routines\, and mindsets that help collaborative learning thrive in middle and high school classrooms. Whether you’re new to collaborative learning or building on what you learned in the original workshop\, this session offers fresh insights grounded in real classroom practice. You’ll leave with: -A refined set of groupwork norms that boost student independence and peer-to-peer accountability -New strategies for designing tasks that foster true collaboration – not just cooperation -Tools for formative assessment that track individual understanding within group contexts -Clear guidance on managing equity\, voice\, and shared responsibility -Ways to use groupwork as a lever for differentiation and deeper learning We’ll also address persistent myths about groupwork\, explore common implementation challenges\, and share field-tested solutions that work across content areas. Join us to transform groupwork from an occasional structure into a powerful\, everyday practice – and reimagine what students can do when they learn together. 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/1rg3GUJZUC3-Rub4lcV9EHZCDi-leZ1Rc/view?usp=sharing\nRegistration: https://www.mylearningplan.com/WebReg/ActivityProfile.asp?D=13208&I=5281347
