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:20261029T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20270304T103000 DTSTAMP:20260614T040350 CREATED:20260520T135651Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260520T135651Z UID:26058-1793264400-1804156200@www.wsboces.org SUMMARY:Responding to Challenging Student Behaviors: A Learning Community Four 1-1/2 hour VIRTUAL sessions facilitated by Michelle Levy - 9-10:30am DESCRIPTION:Audience: teachers\, administrators\, support staff and clinicians Through collaborative discussion\, this four-session series explores underlying factors of student behavior\, applies function-based thinking to develop effective interventions\, and examines instructional strategies that support diverse learners. Each session builds on the last\, allowing for reflection\, adjustment based on district needs\, and practical application in classrooms. Session 1: Thursday\, October 29\, 2026 Understanding Factors influencing Challenging Student Behavior. Discussion will focus on developing awareness of environmental external factors as well as internal child factors that serve as triggers for challenging behavior Session 2: Tuesday\, December 1\, 2026 Function Based Thinking: Discussion will focus on the use of a systematic approach known as the Behavior Chain to analyze the triggers and the purposes behind the use of challenging behavior and subsequently develop responses and interventions. This approach will empower classroom staff to begin the process of developing interventions on their own in a timely manner while helping clinicians develop effective and compliant FBA/BIP documents Session 3: Wednesday\, January 27\, 2027 Adapting Instruction to Address Behavior: Discussion will focus on the relationship between instructional practices as a trigger for problematic student behavior. Instructional strategies will be shared to make learning more accessible for struggling students. Session 4: Thursday\, March 4\, 2027 Reflection: Discussion will focus on knowledge gained during previous sessions and classroom implementation successes and challenges.

This interactive\, practical workshop will provide educators with a deep understanding of what dyslexia is and is not. We will share common myths around dyslexia and provide information to debunk these misconceptions. Participants will gain a greater understanding of how dyslexia affects the brain and learn common characteristics associated with dyslexia. We will also share strategies for supporting students with dyslexia in the classroom. This comprehensive\, evidence-based workshop is designed to build knowledge\, confidence\, and instructional capacity for any educator working with students who struggle with reading and language processing. Whether you are a general education teacher\, a special educator\, a reading specialist\, or a school leader\, this session will give you the foundational understanding and practical tools you need to better support students with dyslexia in your classroom.

To truly master a subject\, students must move beyond general “reading strategies” and learn to navigate the unique literacy demands of each field. In this workshop\, middle and high school teachers\, instructional coaches\, and leaders will learn how to shift towards apprenticing students into their discipline. You will discover how to move past generic comprehension tools and instead provide students with the specialized lenses needed to investigate\, communicate\, and solve problems like professionals in your specific content area.
