*Educators who have previously participated in a Smart Start Institute are not eligible*
The NYS K-8 Computer Science and Digital Fluency Learning Standards were adopted December 2020.

This 20-hour asynchronous professional learning experience empowers K-8 educators to integrate the NYS CSDF standards into their classrooms. Participants will work through interactive modules featuring self-paced activities, instructional strategies, synchronous meetings and a lesson creation opportunity. By immersing themselves in the standards through the lens of content-based lessons, participants will gain an expertise of the standards themselves and their relationship to content areas. Attendees will be partnered to collaborate in the lesson creation process. Coursework will be open from April 1st-June 30th, 2025.
Participants will work with a Smart Start coach for support with the coursework & lesson creation/adaptation.

Identify effective instructional design practices to teach academic and transition skills simultaneously 3. Apply the CDOS learning standards to all academic instruction across all grade levels 4. Recognize how the CDOS learning standards support all of the Multiple Pathways to Graduation and Exiting Credentials Transition-focused education means that a fundamental purpose of the education students receive is to prepare them for life after high school. When we have transition-focused education, all aspects of the educational experience connect back to this goal; it is the fundamental basis of the education the student is receiving both in school and at home. Research indicates the development of self-determination skills can (should) begin early, and the development of career development skills should begin before high school. Part 100.1(l) of the Regulations of the Commissioner of Education defines Career and Technical Education (CTE) as a kindergarten through adult program area of study that includes rigorous academic content closely aligned with career and technical subject matter, using the State learning standards for career development and occupational studies as a framework. The purpose of this training is to provide resources and strategies that practitioners and families can use to achieve these goals.
