Science 21 continues its mission to actively engage students with authentic science and engineering practices through hands-on and minds-on investigations in the classroom. Knowing that the ELS assesses students using online tools including but not limited to text boxes for constructed response items and drawing tools for constructing models, we are promoting an Enhanced version.

Teachers receive ongoing technical support on: creating and/or importing classes from Google Classroom; adding students; creating and viewing assignments (switching between teacher and student view); helping students submit completed assignments; grading notifications; reassigning student work for resubmission; exporting grades; strategically incorporating SAQs; and other technology needs that arise.

Teachers will pilot the STEM Sims platform throughout the 25-26 school year and will earn 4 CTLE credits for completing four feedback sessions. All sessions will be held virtually on Zoom from 3:30-4:30pm.

Space is limited to the first 50 Science 21 GRADE 3 teachers who register.

IN-PERSON Professional Learning Sessions

This series of professional learning sessions introduces the New York State Science Learning Standards (NYSSLS) at this grade level and focuses on how to operationalize them in classrooms. These sessions provide immersion tasks, so teachers experience how students are expected to use the three dimensions of the standards to make sense of core science ideas.

This professional learning is a series of sessions, each one centered on a new unit. Each session introduces and emphasizes the Science and Engineering Practices, Disciplinary Core Ideas, and Crosscutting Concepts of the standards outlined in every lesson. This experiential workshop provides time for teachers to unpack and perform the instructional techniques and explore student tasks before introducing the curriculum in classrooms!

Please note that teachers will be provided with a printed copy of the unit manual at their first learning session.

Join this network of regional secondary principals to learn and collaborate on topics specific to 6-12 leaders. Meetings will take place in-person monthly 8:00 am -10 am. Light Breakfast will be served for all in-person sessions.

This workshop is offered at no cost for Leadership and Student Support Services members.

The cost for this series is $350. If you are part of the Leadership and Student Support Services membership, the discounted rate will be reflected in your final billing. All participants should register at the standard rate.

This day and a half in-person session is intended to help schools prepare for the science investigations that students must complete for the HS assessment.

Participants will be given an opportunity to practice the "hands-on” portion of the assessment. The learning facilitator will review all Teacher Materials, Rubrics, Student Directions, Student Answer Packets, and supplemental Investigation resources. Facilitators will address questions about all aspects of the student task.

Since the investigation tasks are considered secured items by the NYSED Office of State Assessment, we have been advised that we cannot distribute the investigations to workshop participants. PLEASE BRING A COPY OF THE INVESTIGATIONS WITH YOU.

If you have not yet gotten a copy of the investigation, copy and paste this link into your browser; it will bring you to the download instructions. These downloads must be done through the PRINCIPAL PORTAL through the NYSED website. https://www.nysed.gov/sites/default/files/programs/state-assessment/availability-els-ils-required-investigations-2022.pdf

This is a day and a half session and includes 3 investigations.

This session will guide educators through the process of conducting Functional Behavior Assessments (FBAs) and creating effective Behavior Intervention Plans (BIPs). Participants will learn to use data to design interventions that address behavioral challenges and promote positive outcomes. The session will emphasize ethical and strengths-based practices that support the dignity and worth of each student, while also exploring how to ensure behavioral data is collected, analyzed, and applied in an equitable and evidence-based manner. In addition, we will discuss strategies for evaluating the impact of BIPs on student outcomes and ensuring continuous improvement. The session will also cover collaboration strategies that engage families, educators, and support staff in implementing culturally responsive and effective BIPs across teams.

Topics to be included are:

Traditional approaches to behavior often focus on compliance, control, and correction, frequently overlooking the underlying needs, communication differences, and context driving a student's actions. This session invites educators, leaders, and support staff to reframe how we understand behavior by applying the neurodiversity paradigm: one that recognizes behavior as communication and centers the experiences and needs of neurodivergent students.

Participants will explore how bias and ableism can show up in behavior expectations and response systems, and why commonly used approaches, like sticker charts or zero-tolerance policies, can unintentionally harm or exclude. Through practical examples, reflection, and tools for change, this session offers a path forward for creating learning environments that are responsive, supportive, and rooted in belonging and trust. Together, we'll examine what it looks like to shift from managing behavior to understanding, supporting, and partnering with students in affirming, strengths-based ways.

The cost for this workshop is $150. If you are part of the Leadership and Student Support Services membership, the discounted rate will be reflected in your final billing. All participants should register at the standard rate.
