41. Earth and Space Sciences Investigations Reloaded: Fixes, Refreshers, and Strategies IN PERSON Presented by Brian Vorwald - 8:30-2:30pm

Program: Professional Development

Dates: 11/4/2026

Are you and your students still working through the challenges of the required NYSED Earth and Space Science investigations? This workshop offers a practical refresher on the three mandated ESS investigations while focusing on strategies that make implementation more effective and student-centered. During the first-and often second-year of implementation, many teachers faced challenges with classroom management, three-dimensional learning, student agency (student centered learning), and building students' independent investigation and problem-solving skills. This workshop will explore strategies to increase student ownership, strengthen student-centered learning, and develop prompts that support students in designing, testing, and refining solutions. The investigations assess performance expectations that cannot be evaluated at proficiency on the Regents exam. When completing the three investigations students are expected to use mathematical or computational representations of phenomena to describe explanations. plan and conduct an investigation, examine scientific data and predict the effect of a change in one variable on another variable, communicate scientific ideas in multiple formats, use a model to explain a phenomenon, identify patterns at different scales at which a system is studied, and explain cause and effect relationships. ***PARTICIPANTS MUST BRING PAPER COPIES OF EACH ESS 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.

42. Re-childing - A Playshop for the Educators IN PERSON facilitated by Rev Laura Tria - 8:30-2:30pm

Program: Professional Development

Dates: 11/4/2026

The word "adulting” often brings to mind responsibility, structure, and the many skills we've practiced since childhood-skills first modeled by our earliest educators: parents, teachers, counselors, and elders. We learned how to walk and speak, how to sit properly at a table, how to follow directions, and how to succeed within systems. We learned to read, write, remember, and perform. We moved from grade to grade, meeting expectations, passing tests, and preparing for the moment we would step fully into adulthood. And now-you are the educator. You hold space for learning. You guide, support, and shape others. You manage responsibilities that extend far beyond the classroom. And somewhere along the way, many educators quietly ask:
• Why am I so stressed?
• Where did the wonder go?
• When did play become something extra, instead of essential?
• What happened to the joy, the curiosity, the music? This playshop is an invitation. Not to abandon the wisdom and responsibility that adulthood requires-but to reclaim and reintegrate the childlike qualities that make great educators truly transformative: curiosity, imagination, presence, and joy. Re-Childing is about remembering that play is not separate from learning-it is learning. It's about reconnecting with the part of yourself that once explored freely, created boldly, and experienced the world with awe. In this interactive playshop, educators will:
• Reawaken imagination through guided creative experiences
• Reconnect with joy, curiosity, and embodied learning
• Explore playful practices that can be brought back into educational spaces
• Restore a sense of wonder-for themselves and those they teach Eligible for 6 hours CTLE credit. Can use 1 consortium seat. Eligible for Guidance Consortium. If district pays, district approval must be confirmed prior to start of session.

56. Neurodivergent Learners: What Educators Need to Know to Help Them Thrive VIRTUAL 3-hour Workshop facilitated by Joan Fretz - 8:30-11:30am

Program: Online Professional Development

Dates: 11/9/2026

Neurodiversity is a word used to explain the unique ways people's brains work. Being neurodivergent means having a brain that works differently from the average or "neurotypical” person. This may be differences in social preferences, ways of learning, ways of communicating and/or ways of perceiving the environment. Because of this, a neurodivergent person has different struggles and unique strengths.” (Cleveland Clinic, June 6, 2022.) Neurodivergent school age children are often diagnosed with ADHA, autism, dyslexia and other conditions. They might talk about a narrow range of topics, have difficulty expressing their feelings or understanding how others feel, seem uninterested in starting a conversation, and have difficulty noticing social cues. They often possess unique strengths, exceptional memory, creative problem-solving, and in-depth expertise in their specialized interests. They frequently demonstrate innovative thinking, pattern recognition, high energy, and a strong sense of justice or honesty. When educators learn more about Neurodiversity, they can help all of their students develop their strengths and live happy and healthy lives. Eligible for 3 hours CTLE credit.

74. The Power of Influence: How to Lead When Authority Isn't Enough IN PERSON facilitated by Robert Feirsen, Ed.D. and Seth Weitzman, Ed.D. - 8:30-11:30am

Program: Professional Development

Dates: 11/16/2026

A wise board of education president once said, "Administrators have few sticks and even fewer carrots to move people from one level to another.” School and district leaders experience deep frustration because they operate in environments where traditional management strategies like directives and strong sanctions have limited power to effect change. Yet the research is clear: effective school leadership does not depend on power relationships but rather on the skillful use of influence to build school and district capacity and engage stakeholders in school improvement. Influence, not compliance, is the primary driver of sustainable changes in teaching, learning, and organizational culture. This workshop will enable school and district leaders to develop influence-based leadership strategies that result in deeper staff commitment and lasting change. Through research-informed frameworks and realistic case studies drawn from school and district contexts, participants will examine how leadership can facilitate improvement when formal authority is constrained and creating and sustaining positive relationships, credibility, and trust matter most. Participants will analyze common leadership dilemmas including resistance to instructional change, uneven implementation across schools, limited accountability leverage, and labor constraints and then design responses using influence strategies grounded in social psychology and educational leadership research. They will leave with actionable strategies they can apply in their own settings to build more responsive and resilient schools. Eligible for 3 hours CTLE credit. If district pays, district approval must be confirmed prior to start of session.

Let's work together to enhance our teaching strategies to better support student success. This two-day workshop offers a collaborative workspace focused on curriculum, instruction, and assessment. On day one, review your NYSSLS-based Biology curriculum and lessons. Bring samples of a unit and lessons for quick evaluation using screeners to ensure the activities meet NYSSLS standards. Also, share your ideas for areas to improve. This workspace will help you use AI to outline mini storylines centered on local, relevant anchor phenomena and to begin developing your lessons. Day two will focus on your assessment system and strategies to help students develop skills needed to improve their responses to Biology Regents clusters. Bring samples of your assessments for evaluation with a screener. More storyline-based assessments featuring novel scenarios are needed to evaluate all three dimensions of your curriculum and to provide students with consistent opportunities to engage with them throughout the school year. Explore how AI can be a valuable tool in this process. AI tools are not exam generators, as each cluster requires refinement and relevant resources. The goal is to meet students where they are and support their growth throughout the year.
This is a two-day collaborative workshop with participants expected to attend both days. BYOD (Bring Your Own Device)

87. T. E.A.M: Teaching Educators Adaptive Methodologies: A Hybrid Approach to Instructional K-12 Design IN PERSON facilitated by Dr. Melissa Jacobs - 8:30-2:30pm

Program: Professional Development

Dates: 11/19/2026

A world where every individual teacher sees themselves as a Community Architect. A world where teachers find ways to work together to create a village of learning. Building a village is a necessary part of being an educator in a world often siloed and polarized. Instead of creating greater spaces for adaptation we often find ourselves blocked by various impediments that work against mentorship and innovation. This course is designed to break through those obstacles in a clear way, help find support and infrastructure through your own collaboration capsule and build community within the spaces where you sometimes find yourself more isolated. This is one of the adaptive methodologies the course is designed to heighten. In this course educators will create one of the first adaptive methodologies that work to break down silos. Collaboration capsules in the K-12 space are designed to support innovation and experimentation which can cross pollinate between grade levels and subject areas. This is a designed space specifically where reciprocal relationships can live, and lessons can offer greater support for experimentation between colleagues, within different buildings in districts and to other schools.

Program: Professional Development

Dates: 11/20/2026

This day-long workshop offers support to teachers through content knowledge, teaching strategies, and ready-to-use instructional materials.

Participants will: -Implement the "Read Like Us” protocol -Apply scaffolding techniques in small group instruction to provide all students access to complex, grade-level text. -Design and curate text sets that promote wide reading and develop academic vocabulary. -Use ORF and WCPM data to make informed instructional decisions, targeting appropriate fluency benchmarks rather than speed alone. The afternoon session focuses on maximizing the impact of small group instruction. Participants will practice delivering immediate, targeted feedback and using strategies such as listening passage previews to support students with challenging texts. By shifting from finding the "perfect level” to designing the right scaffold, educators can ensure every student reaches the doorway to comprehension. Eligible for 6 hours CTLE credit. If district pays, district approval must be confirmed prior to start of session.

101. The Art of Co-Teaching (Level 2) Deepening the Co-Teaching Partnership and Practice 3-Hour IN PERSON Workshop Facilitated by Consulting that Makes a Difference-8:30-11:30am

Program: Professional Development

Dates: 12/1/2026

This is a dynamic, hands-on workshop specifically designed for co-teaching teams who have worked together for at least two years and are ready to advance their skills, deepen their collaboration, and refine their instructional practices. This workshop builds on the foundational knowledge and experience gained in Level 1, offering co-teachers a chance to reflect, recalibrate, and reignite their partnership through focused exploration, meaningful dialogue, and intentional planning. As co-teaching becomes more established in classrooms, educators often find themselves seeking more advanced tools and structures to meet the evolving needs of their students, refine their use of the six co-teaching models, and strengthen their interpersonal dynamics. Level 2 is designed to meet these needs, offering experienced co-teachers the space to move beyond basic implementation and toward true instructional synergy. Eligible for 3 hours CTLE credit. If district pays, district approval must be confirmed prior to start of session.
