SUMMARY:Reflect\, Refine\, Redesign: A Collaborative Workshop for Earth and Space Sciences Curriculum and Assessment (2-DAY workshop) *IN PERSON* facilitated by Brian Vorwald-8:30-2:30pm
DESCRIPTION:One or two years into implementing your NYSSLS-based ESS curriculum is the perfect time to reflect\, refine\, and re-energize your instruction. 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

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. 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/1Yyu-VhGL3qcOHmfGzxsv0ejt4Ll6caF_/view?usp=sharing\nRegistration: https://www.mylearningplan.com/WebReg/ActivityProfile.asp?D=13208&I=5398080

SUMMARY:Neurodivergent Learners: What Educators Need to Know to Help Them Thrive VIRTUAL 3-hour Workshop facilitated by Joan Fretz - 8:30-11:30am
DESCRIPTION:Neurodiversity is a word used to explain the unique ways people’s brains work. Being neurodivergent means having a brain that works differently from the average or “neurotypical” person. This may be differences in social preferences\, ways of learning\, ways of communicating and/or ways of perceiving the environment. Because of this\, a neurodivergent person has different struggles and unique strengths.” (Cleveland Clinic\, June 6\, 2022.) Neurodivergent school age children are often diagnosed with ADHA\, autism\, dyslexia and other conditions. They might talk about a narrow range of topics\, have difficulty expressing their feelings or understanding how others feel\, seem uninterested in starting a conversation\, and have difficulty noticing social cues. They often possess unique strengths\, exceptional memory\, creative problem-solving\, and in-depth expertise in their specialized interests. They frequently demonstrate innovative thinking\, pattern recognition\, high energy\, and a strong sense of justice or honesty. When educators learn more about Neurodiversity\, they can help all of their students develop their strengths and live happy and healthy lives. Eligible for 3 hours CTLE credit. If district pays\, district approval must be confirmed prior to start of session.\nFlyer: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1j7D_nuXgh2PMNIm_KrNUSgiX5xOce9PH/view?usp=sharing\nRegistration: https://www.mylearningplan.com/WebReg/ActivityProfile.asp?D=13208&I=5406190

SUMMARY:New Physics Unit: Lenses and Mirrors - Illuminating NYSSLS Through Optics *IN PERSON* facilitated by Richard Slesinski - 8:30-2:30pm
DESCRIPTION:This interactive workshop is designed specifically for high school physics teachers seeking to deepen their understanding of geometric optics-lenses\, mirrors\, and ray diagrams-while aligning instruction with the New York State Science Learning Standards (NYSSLS). Participants will explore phenomena such as image formation in mirrors and corrective lenses\, engage in hands-on modeling activities\, and learn how to use ray diagrams to support student sensemaking. The workshop will emphasize the integration of disciplinary core ideas\, science and engineering practices\, and crosscutting concepts into a coherent instructional sequence. Teachers will leave with ready-to-use tools\, phenomena-driven lesson ideas\, and a draft plan for a NYSSLS-aligned mirrors and lenses unit. Learning Targets: 1. Build participant understanding of key concepts in geometric optics\, including reflection\, refraction\, and image formation by lenses and mirrors. 2. Strengthen workshop participants’ ability to use and teach ray diagramming as a modeling tool. 3. Align geometric optics instruction with relevant NYSSLS performance expectations. 4. Support teachers in designing phenomenon-based lesson sequences that integrate the three dimensions of NYSSLS. Eligible for 6 hours CTLE credit. If district pays\, district approval must be confirmed prior to start of session.\nFlyer: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_KlS0sLvw3FSWtiUOYjLgh8nDneXF-wi/view?usp=sharing\nRegistration: https://www.mylearningplan.com/WebReg/ActivityProfile.asp?D=13208&I=5416726
