SUNY New Paltz and Nassau BOCES are proud to collaborate on a one-of-a-kind professional learning experience designed for leaders at all levels ready to lead with the Science of Reading in mind.

Across our region, many educators have already engaged in SoR training through SUNY New Paltz microcredentials and related professional learning. With strong instructional foundations now in place, the next step is clear: how do leaders create systems, structures, and conditions that sustain this work?

Over the course of this two-day institute, participants will ground their learning in Science of Reading Fundamentals: A Leadership Guide , created by SUNY New Paltz, and explore effective literacy leadership in practice. We are also excited to welcome Dr. Sarah Holbrook, co-creator of the SUNY New Paltz SoR microcredential, Fellow at the Science of Reading Center, and Director of Humanities for the Kingston City School District.

Designed for administrators at the building, district, and university levels, literacy leaders, coaches, department chairs, and teacher leaders, this institute will support participants in turning SoR knowledge into effective leadership action. You DO NOT need to have completed the SUNY New Paltz SoR micro-credential to attend.

Join SUNY New Paltz and Nassau BOCES for this timely opportunity to move from understanding the science of reading to leading it.

20. If AI Can Ace School, What Should We Teach? To Be Thought Full. - Dr. Po-Shen Loh
Program: Curriculum & Instruction: Regional PD - CoSer 507.530

Audience: All Educators

Session One of our Distinguished Speaker Series.

Before the appearance of ChatGPT, conventional wisdom was that curricular standards should be sequenced into knowledge points and learning objectives, and learning could be measured by assessing students' mastery of those standards. Yet in the remarkably short time since ChatGPT's release, AI's ability has risen to the point where it can outscore most students on those same exams. Many students have started to question why they learn anything at all, if AI can do everything better than they can. At the same time, people are increasingly consumed by entertaining themselves on their phones, entranced by a philosophy which seeks to acquire as much for oneself as possible, in exchange for as little effort as possible.

Dr. Loh will share his observations, gathered from traveling to 100+ cities and giving hundreds of talks per year, about the state of the situation. He will share his predictions on what will happen, and his advice on what kinds of human attributes will be critical to thrive.

Crucially, this talk will not be doom-and-gloom. Society-scale problems look overwhelming, but there is an area (close to mathematics) which solves such problems: game theory. Dr. Loh has a history of inventing solutions to large scale problems. He will discuss the build behind his latest educational invention: a mutually beneficial cooperation between high schoolers who are kind and mathematically clever, and professional actors, teaming up to teach creative problem solving to others, all working together to build a more Thought Full world.

Location: LL-B

Join us for a dynamic and interactive professional development session designed exclusively for elementary mathematics teachers. This session is focused on equipping educators with three powerful retention strategies to support student retention of essential mathematical concepts and skills throughout the academic year.

During this session, participants will delve into the cognitive processes involved in information retention, gaining a deeper understanding of specific techniques that can effectively support long term retention of information. Through collaborative planning time and engaging activities, teachers will explore practical applications of the strategies within the context of the k-5 mathematics content; although, these retention techniques are applicable across content areas.

By the end of this session, participants will have a clear understanding of the spaced learning over time, interleaving practice strategy, and practice test retrieval techniques as well as their application in the elementary mathematics classroom. Armed with practical activities and a solid grasp of the underlying cognitive processes, teachers will be well-prepared to foster durable learning and deepen student understanding throughout the academic year.

Dr. Paul Riccomini is a highly respected expert in mathematics education, specializing in high intensity instructional techniques for mathematics. With a mathematics degree and dual certifications as a high school math and special education teacher, Paul possesses in-depth knowledge of content matter and evidence-based instructional techniques.

Join us for a dynamic and interactive professional development session designed specifically for middle and high school mathematics teachers. This session is focused on equipping educators with three powerful retention strategies to support student retention of essential mathematical concepts and skills throughout the academic year.

During this session, participants will delve into the cognitive processes involved in information retention, gaining a deeper understanding of specific techniques that can effectively support long term retention of information. Through collaborative planning time and engaging activities, teachers will explore practical applications of the strategies within the context of the Secondary mathematics content; although, these retention techniques are applicable across content areas.

By the end of this session, participants will have a clear understanding of the spaced learning over time, interleaving practice strategy, and practice test retrieval techniques as well as their application in the secondary mathematics classroom. Armed with practical activities and a solid grasp of the underlying cognitive processes, teachers will be well-prepared to foster durable learning and deepen student understanding throughout the academic year.

Dr. Paul Riccomini is a highly respected expert in mathematics education, specializing in high intensity instructional techniques for mathematics. With a mathematics degree and dual certifications as a high school math and special education teacher, Paul possesses in-depth knowledge of content matter and evidence-based instructional techniques.

George Couros is a worldwide leader in the area of innovative teaching, learning, and leading, and he has a focus on innovation as a human endeavor. Most importantly, he is a proud father and husband. His belief that meaningful change happens when you first connect to people's hearts is modeled in his writing and speaking.

This workshop is built around his newly released book, "Forward Together: Moving Schools from Conflict to Community in Contentious Times.” Innovation does not happen in isolation, and community does not grow without intention. This workshop brings together the core ideas from The Innovator's Mindset and Forward, Together to explore how schools can move forward through change while strengthening trust, connection, and collective responsibility.

Participants will examine how innovation is not about programs, tools, or quick wins, but about people, relationships, and culture. Using real stories, practical examples, and reflective prompts, this session challenges educators and leaders to rethink what it means to lead with purpose, listen with humility, and create conditions where creativity and collaboration can flourish, even in complex or contentious times. Attendees will leave with concrete strategies to foster ownership, invite meaningful dialogue, and develop learning environments where both innovation and belonging are non-negotiable.

This group will take a deep dive into best practices around creating, designing, adapting, implementing the 6 attributes of future ready graduates across content areas. You will hear from districts across Nassau County as they share their POG journeys. We strongly encourage districts to attend in teams of 2-4 members to maximize collaboration and impact. Team members must register individually.

Each session offers structured time for each of the 6 attributes. There will be 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 plans or just getting started, this POG Think Tank provides the space to grow together. As NYS releases success criteria, we will use this platform to discuss together. Refreshments and lunch to be served during at all sessions.
