The How To Be A Kid™ program has a strong base in Social-Emotional Learning and introduces the concept of Sensate Learning™ which incorporates the whole body\, multi-sensory methods and principles of neurodevelopment into education. The goal of this program is to teach educators how to introduce deliberate and strategic movement into the learning process to enhance focus\, retention\, and comprehension. Today we know that the more active the body is in learning\, the more meaningful connections the brain can make to the content. How To Be A Kid™ was thoughtfully designed to empower educators with knowledge and resources that can transform the learning process for the better. Eligible for 12 hours CTLE credit.

They are essential in understanding the Disciplinary Core Ideas (content) and that the CCCs complement the Science and Engineering Practices. We will view sample phenomena through the lens of the CCCs to demonstrate how students can use them when constructing their own understandings. Examples of how the CCCs can be highlighted in your lessons will illustrate their importance in the expected three-dimensional instruction of the New York State Science Learning Standards (NYSSLS) for secondary life science courses. We will practice using the different CCCs while applying SEPs to familiar phenomena. Have students both view and explain phenomena through the lens of the CCCs. Included will be: -Gaining familiarity with the CCCs\, their potential for making science equitable\, real\, and relevant to all students: -Using CCCs as resources for realizing the NGSS vision of equity all standards URL:https://www.wsboces.org/event/discover-strategies-to-incorporate-the-crosscutting-concepts-in-your-life-science-lessons-gr-6-12-in-person-presented-by-glen-cochrane-830-230pm/ LOCATION:NY CATEGORIES:Instructional Support Services Full Calendar END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20240130T083000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20240130T143000 DTSTAMP:20260407T191022 CREATED:20240111T160753Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240111T160753Z UID:19843-1706603400-1706625000@www.wsboces.org SUMMARY:Coding Needs to Start in Kindergarten **IN PERSON** presented by Jolynn Sapia - 8:30-2:30pm DESCRIPTION:Coding is one of those things that makes some people’s heart jump with excitement\, and others jump in fear.

Teachers must transition to a NYSSLS based regents biology course. The format of the new exam will be item clusters\, groups of multiple items that provide a coherent path towards building the three dimensions (Disciplinary Core Ideas\, Crosscutting Concepts\, and Science and Engineering Practices) anchored in a phenomenon. Following a phenomena-based storyline will provide students the opportunity to demonstrate knowledge in context. Teachers must align their biology curriculum with the NYSSLS expectations which will be assessed on the new regents exam. It is possible to transition to the pedagogy that supports the NYSSLS three-dimensional approach while continuing to teach science aligned to the Living Environment Core Curriculum. Having students make connections between the three dimensions of scientific knowledge can better prepare them for the Biology Regents exam while they develop a coherent and scientifically based view of the world. Start with the complex phenomena (for science) or problems (for engineering) and let students ask questions\, explore\, and use the SEPs and CCCs to construct their own understandings of the disciplinary core ideas (content). This is a paradigm shift to students constructing their own understandings with much less memorization of science facts. Students learn by doing science and engineering practices\, engaging in discourse\, and building understandings of biology’s main ideas. **B.Y.O.D.

This workshop includes specific tutorials that provide ample practice to administer the assessment with fidelity\, following guidelines that minimize administrative discrepancies. Afterward\, you’ll feel confident assessing level A-Z! PART 2: Analyzing the Fountas and Pinnell Benchmark Assessment and Using it to Inform Instruction In Part 2\, we focus on the fact that results drive instruction. Educators will discover practical ways to organize your data and a series of strategic action steps and goals that\, when used effectively\, provide positive\, incremental shifts in your literacy instruction. This will lead to confident readers and improved results. We will look at Fountas and Pinnell Guided Reading Sets (part of Fountas and Pinnell Classroom) as an example of powerful resources that can link the data to instruction. These tools help teachers shift reading behaviors with their students and lift students’ level of thinking as they read.
