SUMMARY:The Science of Reading and Writing in Secondary ELA and Content Area Classrooms Gr 5-12 *IN PERSON* presented by Victor Jaccarino - 8:30-2:30pm
DESCRIPTION:Audience: Grades 5-12\, ELA and all content areasThe research is in\, improving reading improves writing\, and improving writing improves reading. Based on the work of Dr. Nonie K. Lesaux’s Literacy Briefs on The Science of Reading\, Tim Shanahan’s research\, and Steve Graham’s and Michael Hebert’s Report from the Carnegie Foundation\, this workshop will emphasize the connections between reading and writing in both English and content area classrooms. As we have been working diligently to improve both abilities in our classrooms\, research connects the two consistently and in a variety of ways to improve both. In this interactive workshop\, teachers will explore some of the research and practical and efficient ways of applying what they learn to their classrooms. Even though we understand better that reading and writing are reciprocal processes that help students learn\, teachers find it challenging to help students use the skills in one to improve skills in the other. By exploring research related to The Science of Reading as well as the thoughts of experts in literacy\, we can develop lessons and units that combine reading and writing to improve both skills across the disciplines. In this interactive workshop\, participants will review research regarding The Science of Reading and Reading/Writing Connections\, discuss these connections\, and walk away with skills and ideas that will help their students improve both reading and writing skills in all content areas. 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/19r992ouNiFoQ9wKH3NNLXdZIk_qWTbb5/view?usp=sharing\nRegistration: https://www.mylearningplan.com/WebReg/ActivityProfile.asp?D=13208&I=5178227

SUMMARY:Deeper Dive into New NYSED Biology Investigations-Session 1-For the Birds and Balancing Act **IN PERSON** Presented by Glen Cochrane-8:30-2:30pm
DESCRIPTION:Audience: Regents Biology teachers and science leaders Session 1 will allow the participants to explore two Investigations\, “For the Birds and Balancing Act”. Participants will discover how these performance tasks are a component of a broad NYSED’s “System of Assessment”. These provide authentic\, hands-on scientific and engineering experiences that allow students to demonstrate the knowledge and skills from the Learning Standards. Science teachers and administrators will deepen their knowledge of the New York State Science Learning Standards (NYSSLS) with their expectations for three-dimensional student learning and how the investigations will prepare students for the 3-D scientific reasoning they will need to perform on the Life Science Biology regents examination. Included will be: \n• Demonstration of how the investigations align with the NYSSLS; \n• Suggestions for embedding the investigations in a NYSSLS-aligned curriculum; \n• How the investigations are an assessment of student learning; \n• A hands-on experience with the investigations; \n• An opportunity to collaborate on strategies for successful implementation **Participants must bring paper copies of each Biology Investigation’s documents. These cannot be provided. **B.Y.O.D. (Bring Your Own Device) – Participants should bring a fully charged laptop\, Ipad\, or tablet to download resources and access websites throughout the workshop. Sessions 1 and 2 are intended for educators who have not attended a workshop on Biology investigations. However\, educators who have attended a past investigation workshop and want to attend either session or both sessions to have another hands-on experience and develop a deeper understanding of the intent of the investigations are welcome.
