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 a\nuthentic 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/1mdK15Zg4Q6GBpnTic2TExB1Pv5nAJAgC/view?usp=sharing\nRegistration: https://www.mylearningplan.com/WebReg/ActivityProfile.asp?D=13208&I=5411197

SUMMARY:Demystifying the NYS ELA: Brain-Friendly Multiple-Choice Strategies for Grades 3-8 *IN PERSON* facilitated Deborah Linscott-Feinstein - 8:30-2:30pm
DESCRIPTION:Audience: administrators\, literacy coaches\, reading teachers\, grades 3-8 ENL\, general and special education Teachers Are your students struggling with the complex multiple-choice questions on the NYS ELA exams? Success on these assessments require a tremendous amount of executive function\, organization\, and close reading. Join our comprehensive seminar designed to equip Grades 3-8 educators with brain-friendly\, strategic test-prep practices that treat the state test as an authentic “transfer genre” that moves beyond rote practice. We will dive deep into the composition of NYS test questions and explore how to organize your instruction to build student stamina and confidence without causing frustration. You will leave with hands-on tools to demystify tricky question stems and empower your students to navigate reading passages effectively. Actionable Takeaways: -Practice Close Reading in the Main Genres: After demonstrations\, participants discuss close-reads on newly released passages at their own grade levels. -Multiple-Choice Protocols: Teach students to read the question\, underline key words\, “say it back” in their own words\, answer it from their head first\, and read all choices before picking the best one. Tap into genres already taught to map expected parts of passages. -Navigate Tricky Answer Choices: Help students spot the deceptive half-true/half-false answers prevalent on the NYS ELA. Learn strategies to determine which students benefit most from fully marking up their texts\, and which benefit more from just accumulating text by asking simple metacognitive questions. 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/1EwL6OkvlXLl14SFV0s_QZC9Bz4FOlQnY/view?usp=sharing\nRegistration: https://www.mylearningplan.com/WebReg/ActivityProfile.asp?D=13208&I=5393496

DESCRIPTION:In this workshop\, we will spend the first part of the day unpacking the full article of the brief to understand the data and research presented while absorbing the classroom examples\, reviewing the conclusion and recommendations\, as well as the references and resources so we can work together to reflect and apply the revised instructional practices during the second part of the day. Participants will work throughout this day long workshop to link practical classroom resources\, engage in example teaching and learning activities\, and focus on planning and preparation to implement this brief with the following outcomes: -Understand research and theory in second language acquisition and biliteracy -Identify pre-literacy practices that are developmentally appropriate -Gather materials that reflect home languages and cultures of students\, such as bilingual and native language books -Utilize the EML (Emergent Multilingual Learner) Protocol Eligible for 6 hours CTLE credit.
