This engaging two-day workshop is designed for Earth and Space Sciences teachers ready to strengthen student-centered\, phenomenon-based\, three-dimensional learning while improving student performance and engagement. Collaborate with fellow educators in a supportive\, hands-on workspace focused on curriculum\, instruction\, and assessment. Together\, we will examine what is working well\, identify opportunities for growth\, and explore practical strategies to make learning more meaningful for students. This two-day workshop provides a collaborative space for teachers to strengthen curriculum\, instruction\, and assessment within their NYSSLS-based Earth and Space Science program. Participants will bring units\, lessons\, and assessments from their own curriculum and use alignment screeners to evaluate how effectively these materials promote three-dimensional learning and meet NYSSLS expectations. Together\, teachers will identify instructional and assessment gaps\, explore strategies to increase student engagement through relevant local anchor phenomena\, and examine how mini storylines can help connect concepts to authentic student experiences. The workshop will also focus on designing assessments that better prepare students for ESS Regents question clusters while authentically measuring all three dimensions of learning. Participants will analyze sample assessments\, explore ways to strengthen students’ scientific reasoning and written responses\, and investigate how storyline-based assessments and novel scenarios can provide students with more consistent opportunities to apply their understanding throughout the year. Throughout the workshop\, AI tools will be explored as resources for brainstorming and refining instructional materials\, assessment ideas\, student supports\, and practice opportunities.\nFlyer: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1EtTV-gpvL2SjZ9hwbUO40YSqiuNfyrwL/view?usp=sharing\nRegistration: https://www.mylearningplan.com/WebReg/ActivityProfile.asp?D=13208&I=5411154 URL:/event/reflect-refine-redesign-a-collaborative-workshop-for-earth-and-space-sciences-curriculum-and-assessment-2-day-workshop-in-person-facilitated-by-brian-vorwald-830-230pm/ LOCATION:JEA Alternative School\, 31 Lee Ave\, Wheatley Heights\, NY\, 11798-1837\, United States CATEGORIES:Instructional Support Services Full Calendar END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20261022T083000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20261022T113000 DTSTAMP:20260614T023749 CREATED:20260610T175208Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260610T175208Z UID:26327-1792657800-1792668600@www.wsboces.org SUMMARY:The Seal of Civic Readiness: From Vision to Implementation *IN PERSON* facilitated by Nicole Moriarty\, Ed.D - 8:30-11:30am DESCRIPTION:This interactive workshop supports educators and leaders in designing and implementing meaningful systems for the Seal of Civic Readiness.

In this hands-on workshop\, we’ll explore how to redesign your STEM classroom so that students are active participants in their own learning\, not passive recipients of yours. Discovery-based\, student-centered instruction is about doing the work before students walk through the door so the magic can happen once they do. The payoff: when students have the structures and agency to drive their own learning\, you’re not adding to your workload – you’re reducing it. Less reteaching. More engagement. Less carrying the cognitive load for the entire room. We’ll dig into how your warm-up and exit ticket can become engines for student discovery\, why letting students wrestle with content before mastering it is a feature rather than a flaw\, and how thin slicing and scaffolding let you guide students forward without giving the learning away. In this workshop\, you will: -Explore classroom structures that support discovery-based learning -Learn how to use warm-ups and exit tickets to promote student inquiry -Develop your approach to scaffolding and thin slicing -Walk away with an enhanced or reimagined lesson of your own Come prepared: Bring a lesson or topic you want to make more student-centered. You’ll leave with something better than you arrived with. BYOD-Bring your own device. Eligible for 6 hours CTLE credit.

When readers bring background knowledge to texts\, they can make connections\, infer meaning\, and grasp complex ideas more easily. In this workshop\, teachers will learn how taking a knowledge-rich approach to reading helps students develop vocabulary\, recognize themes\, and think critically about what they read. Teachers will learn how to build rich and complex\, multi-media text sets that support conceptual knowledge and transfer that they can integrate into existing curriculum and units as well as build bridges between content area instruction and literacy instruction.
