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.

Researchers have investigated the relationships between instructional practices and student engagement and academic success. When students are frustrated by academic tasks\, this often results in behaviors that interfere with teaching and learning. Participants will learn effective research based instructional strategies that have been shown to increase student engagement and feelings of success with academic tasks while creating a positive learning environment for all students. Participants will learn how to identify the reasons behind student behaviors associated with the completion of academic tasks and use this information to implement a variety of instructional practices such as opportunities to respond\, active engagement strategies\, checks for understanding\, differentiated instructional practices\, and modifications and adaptations to instructional tasks and curricular content.

Teachers must transition to a NYSSLS based regents ESS course. 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 ESS curriculum with the NYSSLS expectations which will be assessed on the new regents exam. It is possible to transition to the pedagogy that supports the NYSSLS three-dimensional approach while continuing to teach science aligned to the Physical Setting/Earth Science Core Curriculum. Having students make connections between the three dimensions of scientific knowledge can better prepare them for the PS/ES Regents exam while they 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). This is a paradigm shift to students constructing their own understandings with much less memorization of science facts. Students learn by doing science and engineering practices\, engaging in discourse\, and building understandings of Earth and Space Sciences’ main ideas. **B.Y.O.D.

How? The multiple-choice section is all reading (no writing) and two of the three essays are written responses to sight-read texts. Consequently\, reading-well is the thing. In fairness\, one practice addressing a MC passage will be included. In this full-day workshop\, we will focus on prose passages and poems (some from past exams) practicing a number of strategies engagement and focus. In alignment with the course’s framework\, focus will center five of the six Big Ideas: -Character\, -Setting\, -Structure\, -Narration\, and -Figurative Language. Of course\, Tone straddles Narration and Figurative Language. Attitude is everywhere! Also\, because we know all our students suffer from poetry-deficit-disorder\, poems will have pride of place between the two genres. A Q and A will wrap up the day.
