    Understanding Systemic Inequities: Learn how to use data to uncover the root causes of disparities in educational outcomes and identify areas for targeted intervention. Conduct root cause analysis and begin to unpack current systems and practices.

    Contextual Data Driven Strategies: Explore strategies for leveraging data to develop and implement effective, contextually appropriate solutions that address identified inequities and promote continuous improvement. Focus on using an improvement science approach to leverage MTSS/RTI as a central strategy.

    Monitoring Interventions: How do we understand the success or failure of interventions and how do iterate to adapt, abandon, or adopt interventions and change ideas. Focus on using local context to make appropriate iterations on plans.

    Reflection and Planning for Next Year: What did we learn about our organizations and school communities this year? How can we apply that knowledge in strategic and targeted ways as we plan for next year? Focus on using what we learned to purposefully interrupt and rebuild a high level approach for the following school year?

    Keynote Speaker: Cornelius Minor
    What it Means to be a Community Now: Powerful Reaching and Leading in the Face of Uncertainty
    The very foundations of our profession have shifted profoundly in the last half decade. That shift has not been without some pain. We have mourned the losses of familiar routines, and time-honored customs. Curriculum is changing, and we are questioning the ways that we have traditionally served students. In the face of all these transformations, all of us (at some point in this journey) have longed for a return to "normal.”

    In this presentation, Cornelius Minor will explore how our nostalgic reverence for life Pre-March 2020 is misplaced… that even though we felt certain about some things, that there were still too many kids, families, and whole communities left at the margins of our work. In this extended study, we will spend time reflecting on the lessons of the last two years and creating blueprints for the new things that must come next in terms of our teaching and our leadership.

    Cornelius Minor is a Brooklyn-based educator and education consultant. He works with teachers, school leaders, and leaders of community-based organizations to support equitable literacy reform in cities (and sometimes villages) across the globe. His latest book, We Got This, explores how the work of creating more equitable school spaces is embedded in our everyday choices--specifically in the choice to really listen to kids.

    Special Guest: Dr. Diane M. Wynne, Executive Director, NYSED Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

    This registration is ONLY for educators who work in Nassau BOCES component districts and NY districts outside of Long Island.

    Audience: Teachers

    Dates: 5/21/2025

    Location: LS 1

    How do we balance our science of writing curriculum between a workshop model that honors students' zones of proximal development and evidence-based practices? How do we foster independence toward lifelong literacy and simultaneously adhere to a sequential scope and sequence?

    NYS Literacy Brief #3, Joan Sedita's Reading Rope, Judith Hochman's tips for direct instruction, the gradual release model, and brain science will be synthesized to posit possible answers to these larger-than-life educational goals toward balance. We need not throw out the baby with the bathwater!

    We will explore the reciprocity and connections between reading and writing. We will study student work to assess the transference of phonics instruction (Ehri, phonemic awareness and encoding). The application of Brief #3 across content area subject areas and a variety of genres will be explored.

    Please note: Cancellation policy: If a participant has registered for, but is unable to attend, a Nassau BOCES workshop, they are required to drop their workshop registration on Frontline/MLP at least 7 days prior to the start date of the workshop.
