Educators will synthesize fresh lesson plans and faculty presentations that improve student outcomes and serve to prevent and reverse teacher burnout.

Districts are encouraged to attend in teams of 2 or more members to maximize collaboration and impact, but individual educators are welcome as well! Team members must register individually.

Each session offers structured time for guided planning and cross-district dialogue, with opportunities to learn from and alongside fellow educators who are deeply engaged in this work. Whether your team is refining existing initiatives or just getting started, this Think Tank provides the space to grow together.

The 2025-2026 series is shaped by feedback collected during last year's Think Tank and continuously adapted in response to ongoing participant input. Our goal is to create a responsive, evolving experience that meets the real needs of our districts.

Program: Curriculum & Instruction: Regional PD - CoSer 507.530
Location: Nassau BOCES, Robert E. Lupinskie Center - One Merrick Avenue,Westbury, NY (Westbury, NY) - Conference Rooms 2 & 3
Audience: Secondary Content Area Teachers, Special Education Teachers, Reading Teachers, Building and District Leadership
Dates: 3/10/2026
Location: Conference Rooms 2 & 3
Starting Soon

This session is designed for leaders who want the Portrait of a Graduate (PoG) to move beyond a statement and show up clearly in students' daily experiences. In this session, we examine three interconnected levers: Learner profile, inquiry-based learning, and performance-based applications of knowledge, and how, together, they make the Portrait visible, actionable, and developmentally coherent across K-12.

Rather than treating these as separate initiatives, the session focuses on how they work in concert: Habits of mind shape how students think and approach learning, inquiry gives them purpose and ownership, and performance-based tasks show what students can do with what they know.

Because a Portrait of a Graduate should not hang on a wall, it should walk through your classrooms every day.

Educators will understand:
*Habits of Mind as the backbone of the Learner Profile
*How classroom environments and instructional routines create repeated opportunities for students to practice intellectual behaviors and how those behaviors are made visible and meaningful to learners
*Inquiry-Based Approaches: How inquiry, passion projects, and civic learning experiences (including Seal of Civic Readiness-aligned work) give students authentic reasons to apply the skills and dispositions of the Portrait.
*Performance-Based & Application of Knowledge Assessments: How students demonstrate learning through real-world tasks and experiences across K-12 with increasing sophistication over time.

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.

The NYSSLS-based Earth and Space Sciences Regents exam has raised the bar for students, posing challenges far beyond the former MST Physical Setting/Earth Science Regents exams. Designed around three-dimensional learning, the ESS Regents exam requires students not only to know science content, but to think like scientists and make sense of novel scientific scenarios.

In this workshop, we'll take a clear, practical look at New York State's assessment system and unpack how ESS Regents question clusters are structured and how they differ from classroom assessments. We'll examine the ESS Reference Tables through real exam examples to show how students are expected to use them as sense-making tools rather than for simple look-ups.

Participants will explore effective, classroom-ready strategies to strengthen students' test-taking skills and confidence.

Included:

-Identifying how the NYSSLS-based ESS Regents exam assesses students differently than prior exams

-How student assessment is a component of curriculum and instruction

-Principles of Regents question clusters and how they differ from classroom assessments

-Differences in how the ESS Reference Tables are used in assessments

-How Performance Level Descriptions align with performance expectations

-Using AI to assist in constructing classroom and Regents-style assessments

-Collaboratively constructing a Regents-style question cluster

-Reviewing strategies to improve testing skills

-Developing a presentation to help students apply these strategies
