This professional learning opportunity will guide teachers on transfer task development in the three modes of communication of the World Readiness standards: Interpretive, Interpersonal, and Presentation. These tasks are designed for learners to engage critical thinking skills with intercultural competence and to solve problems and create products of value beyond the classroom. These workshops align with the goals of the NYSED OBEWL World Language Standards Initiative.

Each hands-on design day will guide teachers to develop performance-based assessment tasks with the three communicative modes and write "Can Do" self-assessment statements for each mode for articulated outcomes across levels, buildings, and schools. Participants will have a gallery walk of tasks and receive feedback, ready for pilot implementation in their classrooms.

From Amazon: "American schools have famously lagged behind foreign schools in all areas of academic achievement. When James W. Stigler and James Hiebert made their assessment of the Third International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) ten years ago, they discovered that the problem with American education is neither one of testing nor curricula, but teaching. A clarion call for treating teaching like the craft it is, The Teaching Gap lays out a clear program for change that administrators, teachers, and parents can implement together."

Participants will receive up to 6 CTLE hours. In order to earn the full amount of credit hours, participants must:

- Respond to every discussion prompt.

- Reply respectfully to at least one other participant's response for each discussion prompt.

- Failure to meet these requirements will result in earning fewer CTLE hours.

Throughout the 4-week book study, participants will:

-Discuss ways to implement the findings of The Teaching Gap into their own practice.

-Develop a PLN for continued practice.

The book study will begin on 7/5/19 and conclude on 8/5/19.

This online course is divided into several learning modules that will offer a sampling of Google's suite of tools, including Google Drive (Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Forms), and Google Calendar. For each module, participants will read various help articles, view brief video tutorials, complete a variety of tasks, and participate in social learning activities. They will practice using the tools to set-up collaborative experiences with classmates, reflect on each skill, and share best practices. There are no face-to-face meetings for this class and it will require a commitment of around 14 hours to successfully complete the various learning activities. The course will start on July 8th and run through August 23th.

Creating Digital Portfolios is an online course designed to help teachers develop a model for the implementation and facilitation of digital portfolios for student use in a classroom setting. Digital portfolios are a collection of work that can be used as a showcase for student learning that is easy to retrieve, store, and share using a multimedia platform such as Google Sites. This online course has five modules that will allow for the exploration of different technology tools and resources including the SAMR Model, different portfolio type and planning, Screencastify, Canva, and Google Sites. The following essential questions will be addressed: Can technology allow us to transform how students learn in the classroom? What is the purpose of incorporating digital portfolios within your discipline? Identify what digital portfolios could look like for the students enrolled in your class. What components are necessary for the creation of our own personalized digital footprint? What can your students gain by creating digital portfolios of their own work throughout the school year? This is totally web-based and there will be no physical meeting times. 10 Hours

In Code Breaker, educator Brian Aspinall shares his insights on how to turn curriculum expectations into skills. Students identify problems, develop solutions, and use coding and computational thinking to apply and demonstrate their learning. From Aspinall's collection of real-life examples and practical lesson ideas, you'll discover how to: -Use computational thinking and coding across all subjects and grade levels -Encourage students to let their skills and passions shine -Teach learners to take risks so they can grow from failure and feedback -Make assessment meaningful--and fun--for you and your students Participants will receive up to 6 CTLE hours. In order to earn the full amount of credit hours, participants must: - Respond to every discussion prompt. - Reply respectfully to at least two other participant's responses for each discussion prompt. It is recommended that participants have a twitter account in order to build their Professional Learning Network, but is not required. The book study will begin on 8/1/19 and conclude on 8/22/19. The majority of classwork will be completed asynchronously using Google Classroom.

This group is for people who have been designated by their district to take a leadership role in math. It is recommended that districts send a team to the Math Leadership meetings that includes teacher leaders (elementary, middle and high school teachers) as well as building and district leaders. This group serves to support the development of district and regional capacity related to the Next Generation Mathematics Learning Standards. This includes sharing and discussing up-to-date information related to the changes in the standards and other relevant information from the State Education Department. Additionally, the goal of this group is to develop collaboration between districts in the region to support high-quality K-12 mathematics education and to support continuous improvement in mathematics learning and instruction. The expectation for participating in this group is:

1. Attending all three meetings during the year. We will have a focus of study for the year that will build on our previous work.

2. Being prepared for the meeting by completing any personal learning required by the facilitator of this group.

3. Being responsible for working with your team to bring the learning from the meeting back to your district.

4. Being designated or gaining approval by your district to participate in this group.

The formal meeting will occur in the morning. However, your district may ask your team to use the afternoon to develop a plan for implementing the learning from the meeting in your district. If your district asks this of you the meeting space will be available in the afternoon for use by those who wish to stay and work.
