We encourage you to join us at the Distance Learning Practitioners Meeting, to allow veteran DL Practitioners (teachers and classroom facilitators), those new to the DL environment, and even those simply curious about the DL network, to continue sharing experiences; your successes, common pain points, and how you are helping to grow the DL program in all of the various learning environments.

The January Distance Learning Practitioners Meeting will be an in-person event held on Friday, January 24th from 12:30pm to 2:00pm at NERIC - 900 Watervliet-Shaker Road in Albany. We will be providing lunch at 12:00pm, so be sure to arrive by noon at NERIC in Albany! A virtual option will be made available upon request.

Please register soon to hold your place.

Please email dl@neric.org by January 17th with your questions and topics of discussion you would like covered during the meeting. We will facilitate the forum discussions using the feedback received from you.

We hope to see you on January 24th. Until then, stay well.

-Eileen Drescher, Melissa Boucher, Jen Bloomingdale, Julia Motler, Mike Sylofski, & Mary Graham-Morris

Research shows that grading practices often favor privileged students and disadvantage those with less privilege, including students of color, those from low-income families, students receiving special education services, and English learners (Feldman, 2019).

Capital Region BOCES is pleased to offer two opportunities to explore this issue in more depth. The first is a one-day overview session. For those interested in furthering their understanding, there is also an option to continue as part of a cohort for the remainder of the academic year.

One-Day Overview - July 24, 2025
During this one-day program, you will:

• Gain an understanding of inequitable grading practices in the context of culturally responsive practices.

• Reflect upon current teacher grading and grade reporting practices to determine the degree to which students receive meaningful feedback and their knowledge and skills are accurately reported.

• Hear from teachers and leaders regarding their process toward systemic change, policy revision, professional learning and building.

• Begin to develop a plan for effective and long-term change specific to the needs of the school.

Full Year Program
If you wish to continue your learning, you can join us for four 2.5 hour sessions to learn more about equitable grading practices, explore essential elements of a successful change process, and develop a plan specific to the needs of your district. Participants will engage in guided professional learning, round table discussions and sharing of their planning and implementation steps.

Program: School Support Services: General Professional Development
Audience: Educators who participated in YEAR ONE (24-25)
Dates: 10/15/2025 to 3/25/2026

Research indicates that grading practices often disproportionately favor privileged students, while disadvantaging those from less privileged backgrounds. This includes students of color, those from low-income families, students receiving special education services, and English learners (Feldman, 2019). These inequities in grading systems can contribute to gaps in academic achievement and perpetuate systemic disadvantages for historically marginalized groups. As educators, it is essential to explore and address how grading policies and practices can either reinforce or reduce these disparities.

Capital Region BOCES is pleased to offer a continued opportunity for educators to engage in a second-year program focused on exploring these inequities in greater depth. This program provides an important chance for educators to build on the knowledge and skills developed during the 2024-2025 Grading for Opportunity sessions.

In this second-year cohort, participants will further develop their understanding of standards-based instruction and assessment. The program will focus on classroom and school practices and policies that ensure accurate communication of student progress, allowing for more equitable outcomes. Through guided action planning, participants will identify specific steps to implement in their classrooms and schools, taking into account the unique needs of their students. Together, they will work to foster a more inclusive and fair educational environment that supports all students in reaching their full potential.

Facilitator: Dr. Eva L. Jones is a leader in examining systems through the lens of cultural proficiency and providing culturally responsive professional development. Her research in developing culturally responsive systems in schools informs her work with teachers, administrators and district leaders as they come to understand the impact of bias and privilege on their daily work.
