Drawing on decades of research in reading development and cognitive psychology, David Kilpatrick, PhD will explore how we can identify reading difficulties, interpret assessment data meaningfully, and design interventions that actually work-especially for struggling readers. Specifically, this session will focus on how children learn to read words and why some children struggle. Understanding what research has found about the nature of word-level reading development and word-level reading problems will guide assessment, instruction, and intervention.

Educators will walk away with a deeper understanding of orthographic mapping, phonemic proficiency, and the critical role of assessment in accelerating student growth. Whether you're a classroom teacher, literacy coach, administrator, or specialist, this session will sharpen your instructional lens and provide actionable tools to help all students become confident, capable readers.

Learning Targets:
-Participants will understand the component cognitive and linguistic skills needed for word level reading.
-Participants will understand the source(s) of difficulties in word-level reading, including dyslexia.
-Participants will become aware of compensating students, who display "average” performance but require extraordinary effort to do so.
-Participants will learn what approaches are useful in addressing word-level reading difficulties.

Calling all Long Island Earth and Spaces Science educators! This workshop will help you harness the full potential of the Earth and Space Sciences Reference Tables (ESSRT) to deepen curriculum connections and boost student understanding. We'll dive into practical strategies for integrating the ESSRT into instruction, ensuring your students aren't just flipping pages to find answers. Some strategies students will apply include using evidence from multiple sources to construct explanations, engaging in arguments from evidence, and using models to explain scientific ideas as opposed to reading the tables to identify the correct answer. Participants will also collaborate to design question clusters aligned with NYS Regents-style three-dimensional assessments.

Included will be:

Principles of the pedagogical shift for teaching and student learning, including a review of three-dimensional instruction and the architecture of the New York State Science Learning Standards (NYSSLS)
Small group work to brainstorm how a portion of the ESSRT can be used in a curriculum.
A page by page discussion of each ESSRT component
Analyzing a question cluster from the June 2025 ESS Regents Exam
Collaborate in small groups using the primary Performance Expectation for a component of the ESSRT to begin creating a question cluster. Work of each group will be documented on a Google Doc and uploaded to a shared Google Drive. **B.Y.O.D. (Bring Your Own Device) - Participants should bring a fully charged laptop, iPad, or tablet to download resources and access websites throughout the workshop.

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.

Now that we have immersed ourselves into the research, we are ready to explore the shifts in small group reading instruction necessary to align with research based practices. On this day, you will explore a variety of ways to bring explicit assessment-based instruction to small groups. We will create small group routines to help students practice both phonemic and phonics skills and apply them to connected texts. As decodable texts are being introduced into our classrooms, we will explore ways to synthesize them with our phonemic and phonics programs. A choice of gradual-release small-group lesson plans will be shared. You will leave this day with a variety of tools to fuel your small group lessons!

Dates: 10/28/2025
Location: CR 1, 2, 3

K-12 educators everywhere are being asked to administer increasing numbers of reading assessments. All this testing can be time-consuming, requires substantial amounts of paperwork, and impacts the time teachers have available for planning and instruction. Many educators and parents are growing frustrated and wonder if all this testing is really helping our students.

This workshop looks closely at WHY these assessments are used, HOW to select and administer the most time-efficient and valuable assessments, and most importantly to USE the data to make key instructional decisions that can help us provide the best reading instruction to all students. In the same way we expect our physicians to make decisions about our health and wellness by using the best information available, educators must use assessment tools to inform and guide professional decisions regarding students' academic "health and wellness”. But because it's instruction-not testing-that is the most important task of schools, we must select and use reading assessments as efficiently and effectively as possible.

Learning Targets:

Understand the purpose for collecting data effectively and efficiently within an RTI/MTSS framework and system.

Understand the purpose and basic strategies involved in benchmark/screening, diagnostic, and progress monitoring reading assessments.

Know how to accurately collect, interpret, and use data using oral reading fluency assessments and informal reading inventories.

Interpret data and use it to make decisions about students' instructional needs and to evaluate students' progress.

Minimum to run: 48
