Program: Professional Development

Audience: Regents LS: Biology teachers and science leaders

Dates: 2/26/2026

Starting Soon

Audience: Regents LS: Biology teachers and science leaders Launching a full-year NYSSLS-based Biology course? Whether you're just getting started or refining your NYSSLS approach for students taking the LS: Biology Regents, this workshop is your opportunity to build confidence, clarity, and effective classroom strategies. It will serve as a refresher, placing three-dimensional, phenomenon-based learning into an instructional context. Regardless of the curriculum your district is using to meet the "new" expectations of the New York State Science Learning Standards (NYSSLS), we'll unpack the why, how, and what behind these shifts-so you're not just following a framework; you're teaching with purpose. NYSSLS demands more from students and educators. Today's learners are expected to learn science through active participation-asking questions, building models, analyzing data, and applying core ideas to real-world phenomena. It's not about memorizing facts; it's about making sense of the natural world through evidence and explanation. This workshop will help you reframe your instruction around scientific thinking, authentic application, and meaningful assessment. You'll leave with three-dimensional strategies you can implement tomorrow-and a vision that will guide you throughout the year. **B.Y.O.D. (Bring Your Own Device) - Participants should bring a fully charged laptop, Ipad, or tablet to download resources and access websites during the workshop. Eligible for 6 hours CTLE credit. Can use 1 consortium seat. If district pays, district approval must be confirmed prior to start of session.

26. Lit Lab Lunch and Learn - 11:30-12:30pm

Program: Model Schools

Dates: 2/26/2026

Starting Soon

LitLab.ai is an adaptive literacy platform that integrates artificial intelligence with evidence-based reading instruction. Grounded in the Science of Reading, it supports teachers in delivering personalized practice that strengthens decoding, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. By promoting critical thinking, communication, and lifelong learning skills, LitLab.ai directly aligns with the Portrait of a Graduate vision-empowering students to become capable, confident, and literate citizens prepared for success beyond the classroom. As districts navigate an influx of AI-powered literacy tools, a central question remains: how do these tools genuinely support high-quality instruction rather than distract from it? This joint session brings together district literacy leaders from Garden City Union Free School District (Nassau County) and LitLab to examine how AI can amplify Tier 1 instructional materials, not replace them, and how formative data can serve as the connective tissue between curriculum and day-to-day instructional decision-making. Participants will see concrete classroom examples from a K-1 implementation, including print and digital use across whole-group, small-group, independent practice, and assessment contexts. The session will also highlight how educators adapted LitLab within existing literacy blocks, aligned it to core phonics curricula, and used embedded data to better understand student strengths and needs-without adding instructional burden or displacing established screening tools.

43. Classroom Strategies to Meet the Rigor of the New Biology Regents IN PERSON Presented by Glen Cochrane - 8:30-2:30pm

Program: Professional Development

Dates: 3/10/2026

The NYSSLS-based LS: Biology Regents exam has raised the bar for students, presenting challenges well beyond the former Living Environment Regents. This exam is designed around the expectations of three-dimensional (3D) learning, requiring students not only to acquire scientific knowledge but also to think like scientists and make sense of novel scientific scenarios. To achieve this, we will focus on practical classroom strategies that gradually build the science skills necessary to meet the rigor of the new exam. We will take a clear and practical look at New York State's Educational Assessment Strategy and how it can build 3D skills. This approach uses multiple types of assessments to gauge student learning progress, tailor instruction, identify strengths and weaknesses, and evaluate mastery. Participants will explore how the clusters in the Biology Regents exam are structured and developed, and how they differ from the various classroom techniques used to assess expectations for 3D learning. Topics will include: -How the Regents exams are based on the NYSSLS and the Performance Level Descriptions (PLDs), rather than your curriculum. -The role of student assessment as a component of curriculum and instruction -The use of AI to assist in constructing classroom and Regents-style assessments. -The development of curriculum-based and novel-based phenomena for classroom assessments. -How Performance Level Descriptions are aligned with each NYSSLS performance expectation when constructing Regents question clusters -Determine the PLD level for each of the items in a question cluster from a recent Biology Regents. -Analyze how the language of the PLD is applied in constructing each question. -Review strategies that will progressively enhance the testing skills necessary for students to navigate the rigor of Regents question clusters

Program: Professional Development

Audience: K–3 classroom teachers, literacy specialists, and interventionists

Dates: 3/18/2026

Grounded in the principles of the Science of Reading, this session explores the essential role of phonemic awareness and phoneme-grapheme correspondence in the development of proficient reading and writing. Participants will examine evidence-based instructional practices that emphasize segmenting syllables and phonemes and explicitly linking sounds to their written representations to support accurate spelling and fluent writing. The workshop highlights how these foundational skills facilitate orthographic mapping, the cognitive process through which readers store words for automatic recognition and retrieval. By connecting current research to classroom application, educators will deepen their understanding of how systematic instruction in phonological and orthographic processing strengthens the reciprocal relationship between decoding and encoding, ultimately advancing students' literacy outcomes.

73. SETC: 15 Hrs. The Dynamics of Conflict - Hybrid Sessions

Program: Suffolks Edge Teachers Center

Dates: 3/19/2026 to 4/16/2026

In a world where conflict is usually equated with violence, and therefore, fear is a common reaction, it is essential to underscore the opportunities presented by conflict. When violence emerges as a predominant aspect of conflict, these opportunities are lost. Conflicts emerge constantly from our perceptions of the commonplace events of everyday life, and demonstrate what each individual considers to be important and relevant to them. Thus, the elements for the peaceful settlement of a conflict are to be found in the conflict itself. In this course, teachers will learn how to more effectively express and mange the value differences, tensions, and misunderstandings associated with conflict. At the same time, they will be able to teach their students how to acknowledge one another, and build understanding based on the real needs of those involved in the dispute. Teachers will be guided on how to effectively establish a conflict resolution and peer- mediation program in their classroom as well as in their schools. All of the necessary skill training, practice, and resources will be provided.
