IN-PERSON Professional Learning Sessions

THIS COHORT IS BEING HELD AT ARLINGTON CSD

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.

Key Features:

Please join us for this 3-day workshop grounded in the science of reading and based on ideas from our new book, Sentence Strategies for Multilingual Learners: Advancing Academic Literacy through Combinations(Routledge, 2023). You will learn how and why Combinations works to develop high levels of academic literacy for all students. You will leave with sentence-level activities for immediate use that tap into and draw upon students' cultural and linguistic assets and that provide access to deep content learning and English language development concurrently for all students.

Participants are expected to attend all 3 sessions

Participants should bring a device to access workshop materials.

Our workshops are accessible to people with disabilities. To request accommodations, please contact Hallie Hirsch, hhirsch@pnwboces.org, at least three weeks prior to your event.
