These performance tasks offer authentic\, hands-on scientific and engineering experiences that allow students to demonstrate their understanding of chemistry concepts and scientific practices in a real-world context. Chemistry teachers and science administrators will deepen their understanding of the NYSSLS and the expectations for three-dimensional student learning. Participants will learn how these investigations are designed to prepare students for the type of scientific reasoning and application they will encounter on the Physical Setting: Chemistry Regents examination. Workshop highlights include: -A demonstration of how each investigation aligns with NYSSLS performance expectations and dimensions of learning -Discussion on how the investigations function as assessments of student learning -Hands-on experience with the Chemistry Investigations to model classroom implementation -Collaboration time to develop strategies for successful integration into existing curricula *Please Note: Participants must bring paper copies of each Chemistry Investigation’s documents. These will not be provided at the workshop. Participants should plan to attend both days to have the opportunity to explore all three investigations. Participants should bring a fully charged laptop\, iPad\, or tablet to download resources and access digital tools during the session. Eligible for 12 hours CTLE credit. Can use 2 consortium seats. If district pays\, district approved must be confirmed prior to start of session.\nFlyer: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1T-DI9-Zsokdci5fg8JiphJJl52xUqYis/view?usp=sharing\nRegistration: https://www.mylearningplan.com/WebReg/ActivityProfile.asp?D=13208&I=5417189 URL:/event/exploring-the-nyssls-chemistry-investigations-2-day-workshop-in-person-facilitated-by-kathi-dinota-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:20261001T083000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20261001T143000 DTSTAMP:20260616T155619 CREATED:20260609T215016Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260609T215016Z UID:26301-1790843400-1790865000@www.wsboces.org SUMMARY:A Generative Approach to Teaching Vocabulary Gr K-6 *IN PERSON* facilitated by The Living Literacy Network - 8:30-2:30pm DESCRIPTION:Vocabulary is a crucial aspect of language development and plays a significant role in academic success and effective communication. Participants will explore a variety of research-based techniques for teaching words explicitly\, teaching context clues\, and teaching morphological analyses. The course will delve into the importance of utilizing a generative approach to vocabulary instruction to help students learn words and features and functions of language.

This workshop focuses on using assessment as a powerful driver of instruction in inclusive classrooms. Grounded in the CIA (Curriculum-Instruction-Assessment) framework\, educators explore how formative and summative assessment practices inform teaching decisions and support student growth. Participants engage in hands-on learning with tools such as rubrics\, checklists\, exit tickets\, conferencing\, and anecdotal records. The focus is on collecting meaningful data and using it to adjust instruction in real time. A strong emphasis is placed on equity\, and designing and adapting assessments to meet the needs of diverse learners\, including students with disabilities and multilingual learners. Educators examine if\, when and how to adapt or modify assessments to ensure fairness and access. Participants leave with ready-to-use tools\, templates\, and strategies to make assessment more intentional\, equitable\, and instructionally powerful. Eligible for 6 hours CTLE credit. Can use 1 consortium seat. If district pays\, district approved must be confirmed prior to start of session.\nFlyer: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1r2L0T7FSD4r8qpVuuwUafNXxUA_F8i-U/view?usp=sharing\nRegistration: https://www.mylearningplan.com/WebReg/ActivityProfile.asp?D=13208&I=5418359 URL:/event/assessment-in-inclusive-classrooms-in-person-facilitated-by-laura-guggino-hastings-830-230pm/ LOCATION:JEA Alternative School\, 31 Lee Ave\, Wheatley Heights\, NY\, 11798-1837\, United States CATEGORIES:Instructional Support Services Full Calendar END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
