6. Pre-Referral Considerations for ELLs - RBERN

Program: Educational Resources

Audience: All Classroom Teachers, Administrators, Teaching Assistants and Speech or Reading providers who support ELLs in elementary classrooms

Dates: 1/28/2020

A challenge faced by educators when teaching English Language Learners is knowing whether a student's academic struggle is due to the typical process of acquiring a new language or to something more intrinsic, such as a disability. When learning a new language, individuals might display certain behaviors that can be mistaken for a disability because of their similar characteristics and educators must exercise caution when making decisions about referrals for special education. This workshop will invite participants to examine the behaviors associated with new language acquisition as well as clinical markers of a disability. We will identify factors that must be considered prior to referring an ELL student for an evaluation. Educators will engage in case study discussions to consider how languages, culture, social-emotional dynamics and academics interact and impact student achievement.

7. Universal Design for Language Learners - RBERN

Program: Educational Resources

Audience: All Classroom and Content Area Teachers, Administrators, Teaching Assistants and Speech or Reading Providers who support ELLs

Dates: 1/28/2020

Educators face a unique challenge when students are culturally, linguistically and academically diverse and yet, they are expected to meet common standards. Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is a scientifically valid framework based on cognitive neuroscience that suggests variability within the learner is predictable and can be systematically addressed. UDL provides us with the guidelines to improve and optimize teaching and learning for all by planning instruction from the beginning that is culturally responsive and linguistically appropriate by being flexible, engaging, validating, strategic and motivating. When applied to English language learners, we can predict and create the access points students will need to succeed with a "one size fits all" curriculum and standards.

In this workshop, participants will be able to:
- Examine the Universal Design for Learning framework to see how it applies to teaching culturally and linguistically diverse learners.
- Identify the potential barriers, preferences and supports for multi-lingual learners within the content areas.
- Design instruction that takes into consideration learner variability and anticipate student needs.
- Utilize the principles of UDL to develop students that are purposeful and motivated, resourceful and knowledgeable, strategic and goal oriented learners.
- Analyze illustrations (case studies, lesson plans and classroom examples) of UDL in action for language learners and all students.

Registration/Sign-in: 12:15 pm - 12:45 pm - Lunch: On your own

9. Evaluating Science Teachers through the NYSSLS Lens

Program: Educational Resources

Audience: Teacher Lead Evaluators

Dates: 1/29/2020

For Teacher Lead Evaluators: The transition to the NYSSLS requires major shifts in curriculum and how it is taught. Incorporation of 3-Dimensional (3-D) teaching and learning is at the heart of this shift. Evaluators must see evidence that the new science standards are being taught through the lens of the Science and Engineering Practices and Crosscutting Concepts. In order to support administrators as they look for these shifts in classrooms, this workshop will begin with setting a foundational understanding of what constitutes 3-D teaching & learning. We will then engage in a simulation of what a 3-D science classroom look like in action through participation as "students' learning and experimenting. Finally, we will practice evaluating observable activities for indications of alignment to 3-dimensional science instruction.

Cable and Prime Time TV are not options for busy professionals in current times. Why can't PD be OnDemand to fit your busy schedule? Engage in self-paced PD on your time frame using our OnDemand PD Series. "Episode" modules vary from one hour or more dependent on topic and rigor.

"Mini-series" are more interactive, self-paced modules all done online on your time! All topics are chosen to help educate, motivate, and stay current on education trends.

In this online mini-series, participants will learn about the 4 C's and how an online digital "classroom" can combine current curriculum and technology tools to engage, enhance, and extend student learning. Participants will complete three modules which explore tech tools and tips for creating a strong and cohesive program in a 1:1 environment. Learn these tips before summer to start preparing and planning all through those summer weeks!

Participants are expected to engage in discussions, create activities, and share amongst members of the group in order to receive credit for the course. Upon registration, participants will receive a welcome message with information on how to attend. Participants will need a personal or school issued Google account to attend.

96. Biomimicry: Inspiring & Engaging Students While Linking Science, Engineering, ELA & the Arts

Program: Educational Resources

Audience: Educators K-12

Dates: 5/5/2020

Are you looking for a way to inspire the next generation of designers, engineers, artists, planners, public policymakers, and citizens?

Biomimicry is a rapidly growing discipline that offers educators an interdisciplinary platform to connect subjects to one another and to the real world beyond classroom walls. It supports the goals of NYSSLS and STEAM and offers solution-based thinking while inspiring young people with a sense of the possible. It weaves together science, art and technology and offers a compelling model of relevancy because biomimicry will be part of many of the jobs of the future. Biomimicry also provides a plethora of literature for linking ELA to science and the Reading Standards for Literature.

The essential question we will address is "How can learning from nature change our thinking and our world?" The workshop will focus on:

• Principles of Biomimicry

• Biomimicry Case Studies and product application

• The Omega Center for Sustainability (a local biomimicry systems model)

• Function in nature and design

• The Biomimicry Design Process

Participants will also participate in multiple activities that can be replicated in their classroom including a mini Design Challenge. They will be introduced to AskNature and the resources available through the BEN (Biomimicry Educators Network). Time will be set aside for curriculum integration and to talk about the Biomimicry Youth Design Challenge which is open to middle, high and college students.

100. Live Labs Series: Fractals, Fibonacci, and Flowers - Finding Symmetry in Science

Program: Educational Resources

Audience: Grades K-12 Teachers

Dates: 5/11/2020

If you have not yet experienced a Live Lab!, you will want to join us for the 2019-2020 SY. With the 2017 adoption of the NYSSLS by the Board of Regents, teachers and administrators are tasked with the responsibility of implementing the new K-12 science standards. Given the inquiry-based pedagogy that forms the foundation of the new science standards, we are pleased to announce a new round of professional development series based on experiential learning. We have expanded our year one offering of 10 Live Labs! to 20! Teachers in grades K-12 are invited to attend these full-day workshops exploring firsthand how the components of three-dimensional science learning integrate into a cohesive educational experience.

Live Labs! give teachers the opportunity to explore the use of phenomena as a framework for inquiry, and to see firsthand how 3-Dimensional science instruction incorporates Disciplinary Core Ideas, Crosscutting Concepts, and Science and Engineering Practices.

Throughout the natural world, symmetry is expressed everywhere. We'll explore the concept of Fractals and how repeating patterns are expressions of the Fibonacci sequence - patterns expressed in the flowers we see, the food we eat, and the animals that we share this planet with. Many hands-on activities will lead participants through a deeper understanding of the natural symmetry that surrounds us, and how symmetry supports adaptation in the natural world.

COST: $2000 PER DISTRICT (PAID BY DISTRICT) FOR ALL OF THE LIVE LABS SERIES for members of the School Improvement CoSer. | Come to one or come to all (unlimited district participation in all of the Live Labs during the 19-20 school year for members of the school improvement CoSer.) $3000 PER DISTRICT FOR NON-MEMBERS.
