LLI Primary Systems deliver the engaging\, efficient\, and effective intervention that can give students the boost they need to read at the same level as their peers in as little as 18-24 weeks. The intervention should take place consistently in suggested small groups in addition to classroom literacy instruction to see maximum results. In this workshop\, participants will receive three-days of intensive training (two days of start-up training and one follow-up day) on the LLI systems and will learn specific skills and strategies to address the needs of readers who are not yet at grade -level proficiency. In addition to an overview of the components and implementation of LLI Second-Edition systems\, professional development for these systems delve into the routines needed for proficiency in reading. Teachers will explore the rich opportunities in the LLI Systems for Phonics\, Fluency\, Comprehension and Writing About Reading. Must attend all 3 days. Materials not included.

Science courses for grade 6\, 7\, and 8 in all school districts must be aligned with the NYSSLS. 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 curriculum with the NYSSLS expectations which will be assessed on the new grade 8 exam. For students to be successful in NYSSLS-based high school regents courses they must experience three-dimensional learning of the Standards in their middle level science experiences. Participants in this workshop will explore three-dimensional expectations for teaching and learning with NYSSLS. We will explore developing activities in which students make connections between the three dimensions of scientific knowledge to 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). **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.

Research has suggested that teachers and other school personnel often have received inadequate training in the understanding and management of problematic student behavior. This circumstance has often made both teachers and clinicians alike feel helpless in the development of successful responses to these behaviors. It is therefore important for educators to take advantage of the use of researched based behavioral science approaches. Figuring out the reasons behind a behavior is critical for the development of an appropriate response or intervention. By understanding that behavior is a form of student communication that is purposeful\, interactive\, predictable\, and learned through the visual representation of a behavior chain or pathway\, teachers and clinicians can become better equipped with the skills necessary to manage behavior effectively and efficiently. In this session\, participants will learn how to independently develop behavior interventions through a process that determines why a student engages in behaviors that impede learning and that are related to the classroom environment. Thinking about the circumstances and factors surrounding a behavior in a systematic manner will help teachers set up and manage their classrooms in a proactive and positive way.For full description\, please view flyer: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1A4JJ2A7-DCHGVPxe8Gx5IB6fjlOivACu/view?usp=sharing Eligible for 6 hours CTLE credit.

Participants should have with them documents associated with the two investigations. \n• The potential for bundling PEs in the HS Weather and Climate into a unit (possibly with PEs from another topic) will be explored. Participants will begin brainstorming a lesson aligned with a phenomenon and 3D learning. The lesson can be new or a modification of an existing lesson to align with the three-dimensional (3D) phenomenon-based pedagogy of the standards.FOR FULL DESCRIPTION\, PLEASE VIEW URL:https://www.wsboces.org/event/preparing-students-for-the-new-earth-and-space-science-regents-exam-part-2-only-for-those-who-took-part-1-in-person-presented-by-brian-vorwald-830-230pm/ LOCATION:NY CATEGORIES:Instructional Support Services Full Calendar END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20231117T083000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20231117T143000 DTSTAMP:20260407T185754 CREATED:20240111T160639Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240111T160639Z UID:19780-1700209800-1700231400@www.wsboces.org SUMMARY:Instructional Strategies for Success on the 'New” Global Studies Regents Exam **IN PERSON** presented by Joan Caliendo - 8:30-2:30pm DESCRIPTION:This is a preparation for the rigorous assessment that will be the new Global Studies Regents. This full day workshop has been designed with these challenges in mind. Preparation for student success in the following areas will be explored: 1. Discussion of contextualization 2. Identification and explanation of historical relationships 3. Learning how to source a document accurately 4. Learning how to include proper outside information in an analytical manner 5. Learning scoring strategies The concerns and needs to support struggling students will also be addressed. Teams of social studies teachers and their special education collaborators are encouraged to attend.Flyer: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ZE5Gpn85MQzv5fhKUTs5DloV48TgaIWI/view?usp=sharing Eligible for 6 hours CTLE credit.

Methods are used that inform both teachers and students so that instructional strategies can be formulated that support student learning. We will review the standard format for performance-based tasks and use assessment screeners to evaluate summative assessment examples. The difference between assessments aligned with the three-dimensional pedagogy of the New York State Science Learning Standards (NYSSLS) and traditional assessments will be considered. Small teams of participants will have an opportunity to construct 3D classroom performance tasks aligning to the standards. Included will be: -Future format of the new NYSSLS based Regents. -Components of a system of assessments. -Principles of Evidence-based Assessment. -Role of NGSS Evidence Statements. -Using Item Specifications to support writing assessments. -Performance Level Descriptions (PLDs) for instruction and assessment -Format for 3D assessment tasks -Evaluating assessments using task screenersFlyer: https://drive.google.com/file/d/10azuHJRMc0OCVuXch3AioY6HYfpaGvss/view?usp=sharing Audience: Grades 6-12 Science Educators and Science Leaders Eligible for 6 hours CTLE credit.

Simply\, it’s a sequence of screens\, each with a different task\, prompt\, or question. The screens in each activity can be as simple or sophisticated as the teacher desires. Purpose Desmos has a mission that says it’s goal is to help every student learn math and love learning math”. This involves far more than just simply solving math problems and inputting answers. Activities ask students to: -Make connections between scenarios they encounter and mathematical ideas. -Look for patterns and represent those patterns mathematically. -Take chances URL:https://www.wsboces.org/event/engaging-students-with-desmos-for-new-users-in-person-presented-by-andy-malbouef-830-230pm/ LOCATION:NY CATEGORIES:Instructional Support Services Full Calendar END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
