Program: Curriculum & Instruction: Regional PD
Audience: grades 3-12 teachers and supervisors
Dates: 6/22/2021
Location: Online

The shifts in the Next Generation Math and ELA standards and the NYSSLS science standards all focus on getting students to generate good questions. Students need practice with HOW to generate good questions in all subject areas. A neutral way to begin developing this practice in students of all ages is using quotes. Quotes are great for this purpose because they are short, provocative, and capture our attention in a way that touches hearts and minds. Quotes are similar to starting an ELA or SS lesson with a hook or starting a science lesson with natural phenomena, or starting a math lesson with a 3-act task. Used with the right teaching strategy, quotes can be great question-generators and conversation starters. This workshop will teach educators two main teaching strategies for getting students to generate good questions: 1) Question Formulation Technique (QFT) and 2) Teach Different 3-Step Conversation Method.

Over the past few years, ELA as well as content area teachers, have been working diligently to improve their students' reading skills. Very often reading and writing are taught in isolation and teachers find it challenging to help students use their skills in one to improve skills in the other.

This workshop is based in part on the work of Tim Shanahan as well as other experts. Participants will have time to read, notice and note, and discuss and apply what experts in the field share with us.

"I have to teach the content, I don't have time to teach them how to write!”

73. **** Virtual PD***Using Quotations to Generate Questions and Stimulate Conversations(Math, Science, SS, ELA, Sped)
Program: Curriculum & Instruction: Regional PD
Audience: grades 3-12 teachers and supervisors
Dates: 7/21/2021
Location: Online

The shifts in the Next Generation Math and ELA standards and the NYSSLS science standards all focus on getting students to generate good questions. Students need practice with HOW to generate good questions in all subject areas. A neutral way to begin developing this practice in students of all ages is using quotes. Quotes are great for this purpose because they are short, provocative, and capture our attention in a way that touches hearts and minds. Quotes are similar to starting an ELA or SS lesson with a hook or starting a science lesson with natural phenomena, or starting a math lesson with a 3-act task. Used with the right teaching strategy, quotes can be great question-generators and conversation starters. This workshop will teach educators two main teaching strategies for getting students to generate good questions: 1) Question Formulation Technique (QFT) and 2) Teach Different 3-Step Conversation Method.

Dates: 8/25/2021

Don't you wish you could blast through reading the hundreds of emails that flood your inbox? The ability to quickly read is life changing!

There is no such thing as "bad readers”; there are only "trained readers” and "untrained readers”. Reading is a skill just like any other; one that can be strengthened and sharpened over time with practice.

During this workshop you will learn how to read (emails, newspapers, books - anything!) with greater speed and ease. With the right techniques, you can double or triple your reading speed without sacrificing comprehension.

For this workshop please have the following materials:

1) a light fiction book that you have never read before - you will be practicing using this book so make sure it has plenty of pages of text.
2) Post it notes or tabs that you will use to mark your start and end words in the text.
