31. Making Grammar Stick: Embedding the Next Generation Language Standards into Our Classrooms Gr K-2 **ONLINE** presented by Sarah Cordova/Literacy Matters/The Distinctive Educators Institute, Inc. - 8:30-11:30am

Program: Online Professional Development

Dates: 10/5/2023

"Grammar” is a word that can inspire many different reactions. Our students might recoil at the mention of it; we, as teachers, might feel dread, thinking about the rote, disconnected workbook exercises that often accompany a unit on grammar; our administrators might feel puzzled as they scratch their heads, thinking about how to help their teachers get it right. But what we've all failed to understand is that the answer to the question of how to deliver solid, practical grammar instruction has always been right under our noses. While we all know that grammar is being taught, for some reason it isn't transferring into our students' writing. Not to mention the fact that most students don't know when to use grammar correctly or how to use it powerfully. Using Jeff Anderson's Patterns of Power as a guide, we will discuss a philosophy crafted to help students both understand and enjoy grammar. Participants will leave with strategies to start teaching "grammar that sticks" in their own classrooms with little prep and lots of excitement.

42. Explore the Vision for NYSSLS-based Science Instruction Gr 3-5 **IN PERSON** presented by Glen Cochrane - 8:30-2:30pm

Program: Professional Development

Dates: 10/11/2023

Participants in this workshop will explore the three-dimensional expectations for teaching and learning with the New York State Science Learning Standards (NYSSLS). A goal of this workshop will be for participants to develop the understanding that students should be learning science by doing science and figuring out phenomena observable in the natural world. We will review the topics for grades 3, 4 and 5 and some strategies for instruction. A brief review of the required investigations and where they might best fit into curriculum and instruction. Another goal is to look at a system of assessment that includes formative, classroom performance, and summative assessments. We will review released practice NGSS exams from other states and the samples from NYSED. The format for summative performance-based tasks is item clusters which are based performance expectations (PEs) and follow a phenomena-based storyline giving students the opportunity to demonstrate knowledge in context. The difference between assessments aligned with the three-dimensional pedagogy of the NYSSLS and traditional assessments will be considered. We will review drafts of classroom performance tasks and begin working with colleagues to construct cluster assessments that align with NYSSLS expectations to incorporate the three dimensions based on a performance expectation. **B.Y.O.D.

As more teachers look to add high-yield tasks to their repertoire, the struggle to make it all work becomes real. Let's examine how problem-based lessons can be used throughout the scope of a unit and how we can harness their power to move student thinking forward. We'll identify strategies and explore some tasks that help us find a healthy balance between application, conceptual understanding, and procedural fluency. Participants will:
• Engage in grade appropriate 3-act tasks and understand how the implementation of low-entry, high-scalability tasks can be used to reach all students.
• Explore the use of 3-act tasks as regular practice. Participants will identify when and how these lessons can be used throughout the scope of a unit.
• Understand how problem-based lessons can be used within the instructional framework (opening, work session, close), and the purposeful moves required to orchestrate an effective closing session.
• Identify ways in which problem-based lessons can be used as formative assessment to monitor student growth.
• Connect 3-act tasks to conceptual learning and application, and the role they play in modeling with mathematics.

55. Preparing Students for the New Earth and Space Sciences Regents Exam: Transitioning Regents Earth Science Courses to the Three-Dimensions of the New York State Science Learning Standards PT 1 **IN PERSON** Presented by Brian Vorwald - 8:30-2:30pm

Program: Professional Development

Dates: 10/17/2023

Audience: Teachers of Regents Earth Science and Science Leaders The first administration of the New York State Science Learning Standards (NYSSLS) based Earth and Space Sciences Regents exam is scheduled for June 2025. Teachers must transition to a NYSSLS based regents ESS course. The format of the new exam will be item clusters, groups of multiple items that provide a coherent path towards building the three dimensions (Disciplinary Core Ideas, Crosscutting Concepts, and Science and Engineering Practices) anchored in a phenomenon. Following a phenomena-based storyline will provide students the opportunity to demonstrate knowledge in context. Teachers must align their ESS curriculum with the NYSSLS expectations which will be assessed on the new regents exam. It is possible to transition to the pedagogy that supports the NYSSLS three-dimensional approach while continuing to teach science aligned to the Physical Setting/Earth Science Core Curriculum. Having students make connections between the three dimensions of scientific knowledge can better prepare them for the PS/ES Regents exam while they develop a coherent and scientifically based view of the world. Start with the complex phenomena (for science) or problems (for engineering) and let students ask questions, explore, and use the SEPs and CCCs to construct their own understandings of the disciplinary core ideas (content). This is a paradigm shift to students constructing their own understandings with much less memorization of science facts. Students learn by doing science and engineering practices, engaging in discourse, and building understandings of Earth and Space Sciences' main ideas. **B.Y.O.D.

Our mentor training workshop will explore the most common challenges that new teachers face and provide new mentors with concrete and proven tools on how to effectively mentor/coach their proteges toward success! The tenure-process years are highly stressful for new teachers. Invariably, new teachers struggle with lesson planning, classroom management, and navigating their school's culture and politics. Addressing common questions that new teachers ask such as…When should I reach out to colleagues for help? When is it best to ask my principal for assistance? Will I look ineffective if I am having difficulty with a parent or student and I then ask for assistance? This workshop explores the inevitable challenges (ex. classroom management, time management, navigating the school culture, etc.) of new teachers and how the mentor may assist them to meet them. The mentor helps new teachers build their confidence by reassuring them that every experienced teacher has overcome these same challenges...and, they will too! To generalize…What are the best steps that new teachers may take to ensure their own career success as they build their students' academic and social-emotional achievement? Let's establish a plan to put this into practice today! Eligible for 6 hours CTLE credit. If district pays, district approval must be confirmed prior to start of session.

A common mistake made by schools is to assume that problematic student behaviors exist primarily within in the child and underestimate the degree to which external environmental factors impact student academic and behavioral performance. The fields of education and human behavior have long recognized the complex nature of student behavior and its relationship to the child's learning environment Understanding this relationship and the presence of these factors helps educators and clinicians become more effective in their analysis and development of strategies to respond to behaviors which negatively impact student success. By examining the environment, staff can use this knowledge to manipulate and alter the conditions which serve as triggers to the challenging behaviors thereby improving the learning environment for struggling learners and improving a positive classroom environment for all.

93. The NYS Science Learning Standards for Administrators: Aligning Science Programs with New Expectations for Learning and Assessment **IN PERSON** Presented by Brian Vorwald - 9-12pm

Program: Professional Development

Dates: 10/27/2023

The first administrations by the NY State Education Department of the new Grade 5 Elementary-Level Science Test and the Grade 8 Intermediate-Level Science Test will be in the spring of 2024 followed by the first administrations of the new Biology and Earth and Space Sciences Regents Exams in June 2025. The first administrations of the new Chemistry and Physics regents exams will be in June 2026. Elementary, middle level, and high school programs must be aligned with expectations of the P-12 NY State Science Learning Standards (NYSSLS) which will be assessed on the new exams. While the intermediate-level science test will be administered at the end of grade 8, it will assess students' learning in grades 6, 7, and 8 as well as the foundational learning in the elementary grades. Similarly, the elementary test will assess students' learning in grades 3, 4, and 5 which is built on foundational learning in grades K-2. This half-day workshop will help administrators become aware of the paradigm shifts in teaching and learning expected with the NYSSLS. They will gain an understanding that this approach involves less memorization of science facts and that students learn the disciplinary content by using the Science and Engineering Practices (SEPs), viewed through the lenses of the Crosscutting Concepts (CCCs). Administrators will gain an understanding of phenomenon-based learning that engages students in using their observations of the natural world in sense-making and constructing their own understandings and what it will look like in the NYSSLS aligned lessons. **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.
