1. Grading for Opportunity: Full Year Cohort (25-26)

Program: School Support Services: General Professional Development

Audience: District Teams

Dates: 7/24/2025 to 5/12/2026

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.

Audience: School Librarians in WSWHE, Capital Region, Questar III, or HFM BOCES
Dates: 6/8/2026

Join us as we establish a community of learning librarians who are committed to improving their teaching practices by providing a forum to share successful, standards-aligned lessons, projects, and units. Work will be grounded in the Empire State Information Fluency Continuum, as well as the NYS Portrait of a Graduate and other relevant standards as appropriate. Participants will share practical, real-world lessons, projects, and experiences in a safe, responsive, and collaborative environment. All materials will be organized and shared in a way that benefits the participants. A secondary purpose is to share strategies for advocacy for the school library program through effective and engaging teaching and communication. School Librarians at any stage of their career, and teachers assigned to the library are welcome. We encourage both new and experienced school librarians to participate in order to promote a depth of knowledge and build on experience. Elementary and secondary school librarians are welcome. We will adapt our meetings and material organization as necessary to meet the needs of participants.
