SUMMARY:ELA Curriculum Writing 3-Day Institute Grades 5-12 presented by Victor Jaccarino - 8:30-2:30pm
DESCRIPTION:Over the last decade\, curriculum has been redefined to include standards-based units of study\, as well as the Science of Reading principles. Join Victor Jaccarino for a three-day interactive workshop/institute to help ELA teachers begin the process of writing a grade level standards-based curriculum based on The Science of Reading. During this process\, teachers will have the opportunity to collaborate with educators from other districts\, as well as receive feedback from colleagues. In the spirit of writing units with the end in mind (Understanding by Design)\, teachers will write a standards-based assessment for a 1-4-week ELA literature and reading based unit. Units will include reading and writing instruction. By the end of the second day\, teachers will have developed lessons for the unit that include whole lessons and formative assessments to inform instruction. By the end of the third day\, teachers will minimally have an outline of a complete standards-based unit\, and ideally a complete unit with a mid-unit assessment\, formative assessments\, protocols that promote collaboration and writing. It is recommended that districts send a team or teams of grade level teachers or teams teaching on different grade levels who can collaborate on the units that will become part of the grade level curriculum. There will be an expectation\, that on day 1\, participants will bring a full-length text that they would like to include in the curriculum\, or a series of short texts by a single author or held together thematically. The text(s) should be challenging and have multiple interpretations. Eligible for 18 hours CTLE credit. Can use 3 Consortium seats.If district pays\, district approval must be confirmed prior to start of session.\nFlyer: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1rbxGpgJj1kakpRA85TOgPPUTE3lS4gvF/view?usp=sharing\nRegistration: https://www.mylearningplan.com/WebReg/ActivityProfile.asp?D=13208&I=5177501

SUMMARY:Dyslexia and Dyslexic Tendencies: Design Instruction for All Children Presented by: Debbie Linscott-Feinstein and Lauren Kolbeck-8:30-2:30pm
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a day to build your knowledge and confidence when teaching dyslexic children. According to the International Dyslexia Association\, perhaps as many as 15-20% of students have some of the symptoms of dyslexia\, including slow or inaccurate reading\, poor spelling\, poor writing\, or mixing up similar words. Let’s be the best advocates we can be for these and all students by synthesizing all we know into our everyday curriculum.Targets include: -understanding the brain of the dyslexic-sequential\, systematic\, explicit phonemic and phonics instruction-exploring existing programs that lend themselves to different learning styles-morphology as part of learning to read and spell-the use of articulatory memory and gestures for sounds and vocabulary -specific strategies for overlearning across texts within knowledge-building units This day will yield abundant practical strategies for immediate implementation in your class\, school or district. Dyslexic and all children will benefitAudience: Grades K-6 general education teachers; English teachers; reading teachers; ENL teachers; special educators; ELA coaches; ELA\, ENL and Special Education directors; building and district administrators.Eligible for 6 hours CTLE credit. Can use 1-1/2 Consortium seats. If district pays\, district approval must be confirmed prior to start of session.\nFlyer: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1M8j6VzLfdbTtjAggPMpEilb1e9Vf1c4E/view?usp=sharing\nRegistration: https://www.mylearningplan.com/WebReg/ActivityProfile.asp?D=13208&I=5273248

SUMMARY:Navigating the Seismic Shifts of the NYSSLS Earth and Space Sciences Regents Exam *IN PERSON* Presented by Brian Vorwald - 8:30-2:30pm
DESCRIPTION:The NYSSLS-based Earth and Space Sciences Regents exam has raised the bar for students\, posing challenges far beyond the former MST Physical Setting/Earth Science Regents exams. Designed around the expectations of three-dimensional learning\, the ESS Regents exam requires students not only to know science content\, but to think like scientists and make sense of novel scientific scenarios. In this workshop\, we’ll take a clear\, practical look at New York State’s assessment system and unpack how ESS Regents question clusters are structured and how they are different from classroom assessments. We’ll examine the ESS Reference Tables through real exam examples to show how students are expected to use them as sense-making tools rather than for simple look-ups. Participants will also explore a set of effective\, classroom-ready strategies to strengthen students’ test-taking skills and confidence\, helping them meet the rigor of the new exam. Included will be: -An activity to identify how the NYSSLS-based Earth and Space Science Regents exam assesses students differently than prior MST-based Physical Setting/Earth Science Regents exams -How student assessment is a component of curriculum and instruction -Principles of Regents question clusters and how they differ from classroom performance assessments -Differences in how the ESS Reference Tables are used in assessments compared to previous practices -How Performance Level Descriptions are aligned with performance expectations when constructing items in Regents question clusters -Identify the difference between a PE’s five PLD levels -Determine the PLD level for each of the items in a question cluster from a recent ESS regents exam -Analyze how the language of the PLD is used in constructing each item -The use of AI to assist in constructing classroom and Regents-style assessments -In small groups collaboratively construct a Regents-style question cluster ***B.Y.O.D.
