SUMMARY:Leadership Series - 6 Two-Hour VIRTUAL Sessions presented by Ray Jorgensen / Jorgensen Learning Center - 12-2pm
DESCRIPTION:Opening – The Heart of Conversational Leadership CPO Framework -Today\, leadership success is defined by the quality of our conversations. Leaders need to foster meaning\, trust\, and alignment – not just transmit information. -Purpose: To introduce the JLC Conversational Leadership framework and establish a shared understanding of the practices for initiating and maintaining containers that foster learning and trust. -Outcome: Each participant will begin applying the core JLC tools – Check-In/Check-Out\, CPO framing\, Four-Step Meeting Process\, and Learning Loop Closure – to elevate decision-making and relationships. Learning Objectives -Each participant will know and understand the principles of Conversational Leadership and be able to apply CPO to frame any leadership conversation. -Each participant will know and understand the Four-Step Meeting Process and be able to redesign a meeting for greater clarity and commitment. -Each participant will know and understand Check-In/Check-Out as a safety and alignment protocol and be able to model it in their teams. -Each participant will know and understand the Learning Loop and be able to use it to provide constructive feedback.\nEligible for 12 hours CTLE credit. Can use 3-1/2 consortium seats\nFlyer: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1y-ibrkQN4aAM1L3n8gdL_vJ4mRU4XhWi/view?usp=sharing\nRegistration: https://www.mylearningplan.com/WebReg/ActivityProfile.asp?D=13208&I=5316865

SUMMARY:Hands-On with Required NYSSLS Physics Labs: Build\, Explore\, and Prepare for Implementation of Investigations 2-Day IN PERSON Workshop - Presented by Richard Slesinski-8:30-2:30pm
DESCRIPTION:With the implementation of the New York State Science Learning Standards (NYSSLS) approaching\, physics educators must prepare to meet new expectations for student investigation and lab-based performance tasks. This two-part workshop series is designed to empower high school physics teachers to confidently teach the three new required NYSSLS physics labs by experiencing them firsthand-as their students would-and by building the physical lab setups needed for effective implementation in their classrooms. By the end of this workshop series\, participants will: -Construct the necessary props and equipment for the three new required NYSSLS physics labs. -Participate in each of the three new labs as students to deepen their understanding of the student experience. -Analyze the three labs through the lens of the NYSSLS three dimensions: -Science and Engineering Practices (SEPs)\, -Crosscutting Concepts (CCCs)\, and -Disciplinary Core Ideas (DCIs). 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/1Z1YNXLEnz5KrlPrSx73pA-pKy1Rd_iVt/view?usp=sharing\nRegistration; https://www.mylearningplan.com/WebReg/ActivityProfile.asp?D=13208&I=5319880

SUMMARY:Making Sense of the Earth and Space Sciences Reference Tables: Curriculum Connections and Question Clusters for Regents Success *IN PERSON* Presented by Brian Vorwald-8:30-2:30pm
DESCRIPTION:Calling all Long Island Earth and Spaces Science educators! Whether you’re navigating the North Shore or the South Fork\, this workshop will help you harness the full potential of the Earth and Space Sciences Reference Tables (ESSRT) to deepen curriculum connections and boost student understanding. We’ll dive into practical strategies for integrating the ESSRT into instruction\, ensuring your students aren’t just flipping pages to find answers. Some strategies students will apply include using evidence from multiple sources to construct explanations\, engaging in arguments from evidence\, and using models to explain scientific ideas as opposed to reading the tables to identify the correct answer. Participants will also collaborate to design question clusters aligned with NYS Regents-style three-dimensional assessments\, sharpening their skills in building high-impact\, multi-part questions that target key process skills (SEPs) and content (DCIs) for which students make connections using the CCCs. Be prepared to think like a scientist\, plan like a pro\, and leave with tools you can use in your classroom tomorrow. Bring your curiosity\, your questions\, and your Long Island savvy-because success on the ESS Regents exam starts with smart instruction and even smarter assessment. **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. Eligible for 6 hours CTLE credit. Can use 1 Consortium seat. If district pays\, approval must be confirmed prior to start of session.\nFOR FULL DESCRIPTION\, PLEASE VIEW FLYER.\nhttps://drive.google.com/file/d/1oc88UT4s3KXnQuHzpIYwCdKdcq_2ZFFa/view?usp=sharing\nRegistration: https://www.mylearningplan.com/WebReg/ActivityProfile.asp?D=13208&I=5298393

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/1C1KM9OB94l0dsQfeNRvOkEt3yjwCXRWF/view?usp=sharing\nRegistration: https://www.mylearningplan.com/WebReg/ActivityProfile.asp?D=13208&I=5328234
