Each and every day, the work of teaching children to read and write is both urgent and joyful. But those of us who lead this work-who guide and grow the teachers who guide and grow our readers and writers-need places to come together. We need to study alongside colleagues who share our vision, to wrestle with challenges, to celebrate progress, and to imagine what's possible.

This series of Literacy Leadership workshops is designed for just that purpose. Across the 2026-2027 school year, literacy leaders from across Long Island will gather to build a shared vision for powerful, equitable reading, writing, and phonics instruction.

Led by The Reading & Writing Project at Mossflower, each session will blend big-picture thinking with the kinds of nitty-gritty practical tools that you can bring back to your schools right away. Together, we'll study research, analyze student work, rehearse coaching moves, and plan for meaningful professional learning experiences in your districts.

Most of all, this series will offer a community of thought partners-fellow leaders who believe, as you do, in the transformative power of literacy.

14. Beyond the Score: Making Sense of Grades 3-8 ELA Data and Deciding What to Do Next

Program: Curriculum & Instruction: Regional PD - CoSer 507.530

Location: Nassau BOCES, Robert E. Lupinskie Center - One Merrick Avenue,Westbury, NY (Westbury, NY) - LS 2

Audience: District and building leaders, literacy leaders, teacher teams and teachers responsible for interpreting Grades 3–8 ELA assessment data and planning next steps

Dates: 10/16/2026

Location: LS 2

Starting Soon

Grade 5 ELA proficiency swung from 44% to 57% to 43% in three years. How do we move from reacting to that number to truly understanding our readers - and the systems around them?

This highly interactive, hands-on workshop invites school and district leadership teams, literacy specialists, and classroom teachers to look beyond proficiency percentages and investigate what the state assessment actually measures.

Rather than reacting to these numbers and making decisions from the score alone, teams learn to use two complementary developmental lenses - Chall's stages of reading and Piaget's stages of cognitive development - to pinpoint where comprehension, reasoning, or written expression may be breaking down.

Using a released extended-response item, participants unpack the writing demands students face when asked to identify a shared theme, select evidence, and organize their thinking on the page - then examine real student writing to see where that chain holds and where it breaks.

Through this item-unpacking, collaborative data analysis, and multi-measure case-study triangulation, participants build a working protocol for reading a single item, a single response, and a single reader with far more precision than a score allows.

Participants leave with concrete tools to identify positive-outlier classrooms, communicate results with confidence and discipline to teachers, families, and the Board, and design Tier 1, 2, and 3 instruction that builds the capacities readers need across the Grades 3-8 continuum.

Please note: Cancellation policy: If a participant has registered for, but is unable to attend, a Nassau BOCES workshop, they are required to drop their workshop registration on Frontline/MLP at least 7 days prior to the start date of the workshop.

ELA Regents Exam reading comprehension questions are not random-they consistently require the same kinds of thinking about text. In this workshop, teachers will learn how to structure literature instruction around five recurring comprehension elements to help students grow into stronger readers while simultaneously preparing for assessment. These five moves, as outlined in the Next Generation ELA Learning Standards delineated in the following learning targets:

Participants will learn:
1. Identifying central idea and specific quotes from the text that express it (author's purpose)
2. Understanding the role of all details in the text that support the central idea (part-to-whole)
3. Using morphology and context to interpret the meaning of words and phrases that are used in unexpected ways (flexible thinking)
4. Using evidence in the text to infer subtle meaning (reading between the lines)
5. Perceiving tone and shifts in tone (diction)

Writing asks students to coordinate far more than ideas and language. To get thoughts onto the page, writers also rely on motor control, visual-motor coordination, handwriting fluency, attention, working memory, planning, task initiation, and self-monitoring. When these underlying systems are effortful, writing can become slow, frustrating, and cognitively expensive.

In this practical K-8 workshop, Maggie Beattie Roberts, co-author of Foundational Skills for Writing, will explore the physical and executive foundations that support successful written expression. Together, participants will examine handwriting and transcription fluency, fine-motor and visual-motor development, and the executive function skills writers use to begin, sustain, organize, monitor, and revise their work.

Throughout the day, participants will experience short, research-informed routines that can be woven into existing literacy and content-area instruction. From handwriting warm-ups and transcription practice to motor activities and supports for planning and self-monitoring, the focus will be on manageable, high-impact practices teachers can use right away.

Participants will leave with a clearer lens for understanding why writing may be difficult for some students. They will also leave with practical ways to strengthen the underlying skills that help writers become more fluent, independent, and ready to communicate their thinking.

Location: Nassau BOCES, George Farber Admin. Center-71 Clinton Road, Garden City (Garden City, NY) - LLB[map]

Audience: Teachers & Instructional Coaches

Dates: 11/19/2026

Location: LLB

What if the most powerful math manipulative in your classroom wasn't a set of base ten blocks or a bag of counters - but a picture book? What if a single well-chosen story could open the door to a rich mathematical conversation, a hands-on investigation, a moment of genuine wonder - and leave your students begging to do more math? This is not a new idea. It is an ancient one. Human beings have always learned through story. And in the K-2 classroom, where young children are learning to read the world and read the page, picture books are one of the most natural, most joyful, and most underutilized pathways into deep mathematical thinking that we have.

Dr. Nicki Newton has spent years studying and working with schools about the intersection of children's literature and early mathematics, and she brings to this workshop a vast, carefully curated knowledge of the picture book landscape

What You'll Walk Away With:
●A deep understanding of the research connecting children's literature and early mathematical development
●A framework for selecting high-quality math picture books
●An extensively annotated booklist
●A before-during-after read-aloud planning framework
●Ready-to-use lesson plans
●A manipulative pairing guide
●Strategies for using picture books to develop mathematical vocabulary with all learners, with attention to supporting multilingual learners
●A cultural responsiveness toolkit
●Tools for extending the picture book experience into math centers, math journals, math talk, and student-created mathematical stories
●Much much more!

Prepare for New York State's new Portrait of a Graduate expectations for Personal Finance Education. Personal finance is relevant to students' lives and research shows that students find it interesting, recognize its importance, and are naturally motivated to engage with it. This workshop will help you harness that motivation while building your own confidence and capacity to teach these essential topics.

We will discuss all five state-identified areas, and take a deep dive into two of the most foundational components of the standards:

• Saving and Investing: Examining how setting money aside and understanding long-term planning support financial well-being.

• Risk Management: Understanding that risk is a part of life and exploring strategies to manage it, including the role of insurance.

Together, we'll unpack the core concepts, essential understandings, and best instructional practices for each area. You'll experience student-ready activities that illuminate the financial theory and mathematics underlying these ideas, and you'll leave with materials and strategies you can implement immediately in your classroom or community setting.

This workshop is designed for all educators, and anyone looking to strengthen financial literacy instruction. You'll take away ready-to-use activities, a clear understanding of related standards, and the tools to empower your students in their financial lives. No prior financial background required.

Come join us and discover what meaningful, engaging financial education can look like in your school!

Program Overview:
Grounded in relevant aspects of Holocaust history, this program connects learning to contemporary issues and concerns of today, introducing Echoes & Reflections and supplementary classroom resources to examine these topics with students.

Program Description:
The Holocaust arose out of antisemitic hatred fueled in part by the power of words. Participants examine the escalation of words to violence, which, in turn, became genocide, to consider where such a progression might have been interrupted. Educators also gain tools to apply these lessons to modern-day issues faced by students to ensure human dignity for all.

Program Agenda:
Educators learn strategies to teach about prejudice and stereotypes, foster empathy with victims of persecution, better understand the mechanisms and process of the escalation of hate, and help students become advocates for themselves and others who are hurt by hateful words and/or speech.

Through this program, educators will:

• Identify how words, images, and propaganda were used to isolate and demonize Jews in Nazi Germany in the 1930s.

• Discover and utilize classroom lessons and resources to help students explore how hate and prejudice escalate when left unchecked.

• Explore ways to support students' ability to recognize their role, and the role of groups and individuals, in interrupting hate.

• Build confidence and capacity to teach this subject.

• Explore sound pedagogy for Holocaust education.

Audience: Math Teachers
Dates: 1/21/2027
Location: LS1

What if your students were doing more of the thinking than you are? In this hands-on workshop, we'll explore how to redesign your STEM classroom so that students are active participants in their own learning, not passive recipients of yours. Discovery-based, student-centered instruction is about doing the work before students walk through the door so the magic can happen once they do. The payoff: when students have the structures and agency to drive their own learning, you're not adding to your workload: you're reducing it. Less reteaching. More engagement. Less carrying the cognitive load for the entire room. We'll dig into how your warm-up and exit ticket can become engines for student discovery, why letting students wrestle with content before mastering it is a feature rather than a flaw, and how thin slicing and scaffolding let you guide students forward without giving the learning away. In this workshop, you will:

• Explore classroom structures that support discovery-based learning

• Learn how to use warm-ups and exit tickets to promote student inquiry

• Develop your approach to scaffolding and thin slicing

• Walk away with an enhanced or reimagined lesson of your own Come prepared: Bring a lesson or topic you want to make more student-centered. You'll leave with something better than you arrived with.

What do you do when you don't know what to do? "I don't know what to do” is a common refrain in math class-especially when students face unfamiliar problems or standardized test questions. Do they give up? Or do they problem solve? Unfortunately, explicit instruction in problem solving is often missing from the curriculum. In this workshop, we'll explore practical strategies and routines you can use to help your students become confident, capable problem solvers. You'll leave with concrete tools and next steps to bring more problem solving into your classroom. Together, we won't just learn how to teach problem solving, we'll become better problem solvers ourselves.

Effective secondary, content-area literacy isn't just "elementary strategies with older kids"-it's a completely different beast. This high-energy, interactive workshop is designed to demystify NYSED's Science of Reading initiative at the secondary level and provide middle and high school content-area teachers with the blueprint for success. Instead of just talking about the research, we're diving into some of the "high-impact practices" that actually move the needle in content-area classrooms.

Participants will do the following:
1. Take a deep dive into Literacy Brief 6 and master the essentials of NYSED's "Science of Reading: The Secondary Years"
2. Engage with the three of the "Big 6" critical literacy competencies specifically tailored for the adolescent brain (vocabulary, reading comprehension, and oral language development)
3. See exactly what these strategies look like in high-performing secondary settings
4. Walk away not just with a "clearer understanding" of NYSED's Science of Reading initiative at the secondary level, but with a concrete set of tools to elevate students' reading, writing, speaking and listening skills within their specific disciplines.
