SUMMARY:ELA Curriculum Writing 3-Day Institute Grades 5-12 presented by Victor Jaccarino - 8:30-2:30pm
DESCRIPTION:Over the last decade\, curriculum has been redefined to include standards-based units of study\, as well as the Science of Reading principles. Join Victor Jaccarino for a three-day interactive workshop/institute to help ELA teachers begin the process of writing a grade level standards-based curriculum based on The Science of Reading. During this process\, teachers will have the opportunity to collaborate with educators from other districts\, as well as receive feedback from colleagues. In the spirit of writing units with the end in mind (Understanding by Design)\, teachers will write a standards-based assessment for a 1-4-week ELA literature and reading based unit. Units will include reading and writing instruction. By the end of the second day\, teachers will have developed lessons for the unit that include whole lessons and formative assessments to inform instruction. By the end of the third day\, teachers will minimally have an outline of a complete standards-based unit\, and ideally a complete unit with a mid-unit assessment\, formative assessments\, protocols that promote collaboration and writing. It is recommended that districts send a team or teams of grade level teachers or teams teaching on different grade levels who can collaborate on the units that will become part of the grade level curriculum. There will be an expectation\, that on day 1\, participants will bring a full-length text that they would like to include in the curriculum\, or a series of short texts by a single author or held together thematically. The text(s) should be challenging and have multiple interpretations. Eligible for 18 hours CTLE credit. Can use 3 Consortium seats.If district pays\, district approval must be confirmed prior to start of session.\nFlyer: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1rbxGpgJj1kakpRA85TOgPPUTE3lS4gvF/view?usp=sharing\nRegistration: https://www.mylearningplan.com/WebReg/ActivityProfile.asp?D=13208&I=5177501

SUMMARY:Evidence Practices in Classroom Management 2-Day Workshop *IN PERSON* presented by Michelle Levy - 8:30-2:30pm
DESCRIPTION:The effective management of a classroom begins with establishing a positive\, proactive and preventive learning environment that fosters learning for all students and minimizes disruptions. Effective classroom managers build strong relationships with students\, communicate effectively\, and adapt their strategies to meet individual needs. Participants will learn eight research based strategies that increase instructional time\, minimize problematic behavior and increase student engagement thereby setting students up for academic\, social and behavioral success. These practices include: -understanding student behavior\, -providing quality instruction\, -teaching rules\, -expectations\, -routines and procedures\, -practicing precorrection\, -active supervision and -implementing strategies for both positive and negative responses. 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/1l-npmTp3t6FtJkSlgmrktX5YNhHaf_Nz/view?usp=sharing\nRegistration: https://www.mylearningplan.com/WebReg/ActivityProfile.asp?D=13208&I=5133166

SUMMARY:Classroom Strategies to Meet the Rigor of the New Biology Regents *IN PERSON* Presented by Glen Cochrane - 8:30-2:30pm
DESCRIPTION:The NYSSLS-based LS: Biology Regents exam has raised the bar for students\, presenting challenges well beyond the former Living Environment Regents. This exam is designed around the expectations of three-dimensional (3D) learning\, requiring students not only to acquire scientific knowledge but also to think like scientists and make sense of novel scientific scenarios. To achieve this\, we will focus on practical classroom strategies that gradually build the science skills necessary to meet the rigor of the new exam. We will take a clear and practical look at New York State’s Educational Assessment Strategy and how it can build 3D skills. This approach uses multiple types of assessments to gauge student learning progress\, tailor instruction\, identify strengths and weaknesses\, and evaluate mastery. Participants will explore how the clusters in the Biology Regents exam are structured and developed\, and how they differ from the various classroom techniques used to assess expectations for 3D learning. Topics will include: -How the Regents exams are based on the NYSSLS and the Performance Level Descriptions (PLDs)\, rather than your curriculum. -The role of student assessment as a component of curriculum and instruction -The use of AI to assist in constructing classroom and Regents-style assessments. -The development of curriculum-based and novel-based phenomena for classroom assessments. -How Performance Level Descriptions are aligned with each NYSSLS performance expectation when constructing Regents question clusters -Determine the PLD level for each of the items in a question cluster from a recent Biology Regents. -Analyze how the language of the PLD is applied in constructing each question. -Review strategies that will progressively enhance the testing skills necessary for students to navigate the rigor of Regents question clusters\nFOR FULL DESCRIPTION PLEASE VIEW FLYER\nFlyer: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1BtyLvF6BYYDWC005CqOpOaRYMU7ORuFA/view?usp=sharing\nRegistration: https://www.mylearningplan.com/WebReg/ActivityProfile.asp?D=13208&I=5293519
