This workshop is geared for data managers and others who are involved in preparing local CTE data for submission to NYSED. During this work session, we will simplify the local CTE reporting process with an Excel app developed by Data Warehouse personnel. The app assembles student participation in CTE courses over four years and accurately classifies each student's level of program participation. The app also generates the Program Service records to be reported to the state. Complimentary for CNYRIC component districts.

This is a fantastic opportunity for districts who have been using STAR 360 and those new to STAR 360 to learn more about the product.

This tool allows for visual learners to show what they know by creating comic strips of a topic or story. StoryBoardThat is a graphic organizer and storyboard creator that reinforces english and history concepts in elementary school and beyond. Versatile materials and drag-and-drop technology make this program applicable across grade levels. Educators can also use this program to enhance understanding through visual learning. Teachers and students can use StoryBoardThat to create storyboards and graphic organizers that coincide with English, history, foreign language, and science lessons. Materials are versatile to adapt to any grade level, and educators can use it to enhance understanding through visual learning. The program provides pre-made scenes, characters, text boxes, shapes, and other images to choose from. Students are able to drag and drop these items into their chosen layout. Scenes are organized into locational and thematic categories (e.g. school). Characters are organized similarly and can be customized with hair color, eye color, and other edits. Text boxes allow the student to give voice to their characters. Shapes and additional images add props to the story. Once finished, storyboards can be saved as PDFs, storyboard cells, or PowerPoint presentations. If you come to the session you can get a free 30 day trial to try this tool with your students!

Prior to each 6-8 Math Collaborative meeting this year a curricular topic will be selected to focus on. We will take a deep look at the standards from previous grade levels that lead into this topic as well as standards in subsequent grade levels that students should be ready to explore. We will explore and experience activities and lesson ideas to bring back to our schools that we can share with our students as we teach these topics. During each meeting we will collaboratively discuss how the teaching of the previous meeting’s idea went as we put them into practice in our own schools.

"The expectation is that you will attend all three collaboratives in order to maximize the experience for all."

With the adoption of the revised learning standards for mathematics, there is a push for students of all grade levels to be able to engage in meaning-building dialogues in order to construct deeper understanding. Furthermore, appropriate use of classroom discourse allows for equity and access for all students. In this workshop we will use research-based strategies developed by Kazemi & Hintz (2014), Parrish (2010), Stein & Smith (2011) and others, to discover ways to incorporate student discourse into the K-12 mathematics classrooms. This workshop will initiate an instructional shift in which classroom discourse will become a strategy to be utilized across lessons.

These facilitated sessions are for all K-12 teachers and administrators to continue the process of curriculum mapping, unit design and inquiry writing for Social Studies. Participants will collaborate to share information, ideas and instructional practices on the teaching and learning of social studies content and skills. Participants may sign up for a single session or for multiple sessions, as desired. As a result of this workshop, teachers will gain a deeper understanding of the Social Studies Framework. Participants will also receive resources and support for continuing development of instructional units and lessons.

This professional development is for Kindergarten teachers receiving the new science curriculum unit "Exploring Plants and Animals”. This is only open to teachers on Rotation D.
