3. Creating A Framework To Promote Student Attention- LILIE (IN-SERVICE)

Program: Curriculum & Instruction: Online Learning

Dates: 8/1/2026 to 8/28/2026

Location: Virtual

Course # EDDU 9078 Instructor: Valerie Fiano GRAD THROUGH UMASS GLOBAL OR IN-SERVICE What does it mean to "pay attention”? Creating a framework to promote student attention requires a multifaceted approach that considers the cognitive, emotional, and environmental factors that affect learning. This can involve incorporating strategies that engage their interest, support focus, and sustain motivation. Environmental factors may include minimizing distractions, seating and lighting options that are conducive to focus, and using technology wisely as to not overwhelm students with too much stimuli. Additional strategies include having interactive activities and hands on activities, and chunking information to make content manageable to maintain focus. Another important factor to gain attention is making content connect to real life situations, solicit student input and feedback, and use judgement to build curiosity. Cognitive and emotional support of attention and focus include mindfulness practices, encouraging breaks, and building meaningful relationships that create a brave learning environment where students feel valued and heard. Participants will explore and learn a multitude of ways to implement these strategies both instructionally and through cognitive and emotional development practices. Additionally, we will learn to reflect and assess our own attention and how we can assess personal and student attention in order to increase overall student success and motivation to build curiosity and learn.

Led by The Reading & Writing Project at Mossflower, each session will blend big-picture thinking with the kinds of nitty-gritty practical tools that you can bring back to your schools right away. Together, we'll study research, analyze student work, rehearse coaching moves, and plan for meaningful professional learning experiences in your districts.

Most of all, this series will offer a community of thought partners-fellow leaders who believe, as you do, in the transformative power of literacy.

Program: Curriculum & Instruction: Regional PD - CoSer 507.530

Location: Nassau BOCES, Robert E. Lupinskie Center - One Merrick Avenue,Westbury, NY (Westbury, NY) - LS 2

Dates: 10/16/2026

Location: LS 2

Starting Soon

Grade 5 ELA proficiency swung from 44% to 57% to 43% in three years. How do we move from reacting to that number to truly understanding our readers - and the systems around them?

This highly interactive, hands-on workshop invites school and district leadership teams, literacy specialists, and classroom teachers to look beyond proficiency percentages and investigate what the state assessment actually measures.

Rather than reacting to these numbers and making decisions from the score alone, teams learn to use two complementary developmental lenses - Chall's stages of reading and Piaget's stages of cognitive development - to pinpoint where comprehension, reasoning, or written expression may be breaking down.

Using a released extended-response item, participants unpack the writing demands students face when asked to identify a shared theme, select evidence, and organize their thinking on the page - then examine real student writing to see where that chain holds and where it breaks.

Through this item-unpacking, collaborative data analysis, and multi-measure case-study triangulation, participants build a working protocol for reading a single item, a single response, and a single reader with far more precision than a score allows.

Participants leave with concrete tools to identify positive-outlier classrooms, communicate results with confidence and discipline to teachers, families, and the Board, and design Tier 1, 2, and 3 instruction that builds the capacities readers need across the Grades 3-8 continuum.

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.

ELA Regents Exam reading comprehension questions are not random-they consistently require the same kinds of thinking about text.

These five moves, as outlined in the Next Generation ELA Learning Standards delineated in the following learning targets:

Participants will learn:
1. Identifying central idea and specific quotes from the text that express it (author's purpose)
2. Understanding the role of all details in the text that support the central idea (part-to-whole)
3. Using morphology and context to interpret the meaning of words and phrases that are used in unexpected ways (flexible thinking)
4. Using evidence in the text to infer subtle meaning (reading between the lines)
5. Perceiving tone and shifts in tone (diction)
