Mentoring New Leaders

This one day professional development for K-6 Science teachers will focus on the new New York State Science Learning Standards that took effect in July 2017. During the session teachers will develop a general understanding of the new science standards related to current research on science learning, required instructional shifts, and the proposed timeline for implementation. Teachers will also be introduced to the Smithsonian Science Curriculum Materials Program that OCM BOCES offers and gain access to their districts purchased material through Carolina Science Online. This will better prepare teachers to attend their unit training and implement the Smithsonian Curriculum. Teachers are encouraged to bring their own devices to access digital materials.

Teachers will have a one hour lunch on their own.

In 2018, NYSED began the process to review and revise the current NYS Physical Education Standards that were implemented in 1996. The New York State Physical Education Learning Standards were envisioned for K-12 students to demonstrate what they know and are able to do in physical education using current best practices and research to support local school district and community needs. As a result, the new standards were crafted broadly to provide flexibility for both physical educators and K-12 students.

Part of the revision process involves collecting feedback on the draft from stakeholders. This collaborative will provide educators the opportunity to review, discuss, and analyze the PE Standards draft with regional colleagues.

Literacy Leadership serves to support the development of district and regional capacity related to the transition to the NYS Next Generation ELA/Literacy Standards. It is recommended that districts send a team to the Literacy Leadership meetings, which includes teacher leaders (elementary, middle and high school teachers), as well as, building and district leaders. Designated literacy leaders will lead in-district implementation of the standards using turnkey training materials from NYS Staff and Curriculum Development Network. Literacy Leadership facilitators will model the turnkey training and assist each district in planning for implementation.

The expectation of participating in this group is:

1. Attend all three meetings during the year

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

3. Work with your team to bring the learning from the meeting back to your district

4. Share learning from in-district implementation with other school districts

5. Designate or gain 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.

Hall Davidson from Discovery Education will be presenting this future-forward workshop. GenAlexa (new generation) is already entering school. Make them ready for their world. AI (artificial intelligence) is a reality, a massive wave that will transform everything. Machine Learning (ML) makes it powerful. Jobs will be replaced or secured. Curriculum impacted from SEL to STEM. Learn what AI and ML are and how to explain it. Take away simple, free, classroom integrations for elementary through high school, from AI to algorithmic thinking. Finally, see how AI will supplement teaching-and why the teaching profession is in the rare safe position in the new world. Ease parental concern by addressing FERPA and COPPA implications. Sample parent communications shared. This needs to be happening in classrooms. Why not yours? Attend this workshop for practical ideas for implementation.

The learning community groups will provide you with information on new features and a review of key components in your database to keep your district or school in compliance with NYS Special Education regulations. There will also be time during the forum dedicated to your questions and networking with other schools

Join Hall Davidson from Discovery Education for this engaging workshop. Augmented Reality (AR) is already transforming industries from medicine to manufacturing. It creates a cloud or device-based leyer of information that floats over and adds (augments) the reality around the user. Otherwise unseen, this layer can be viewed through a tablet, phone, or headset. In a classroom, it allows teachers and students to add a layer onto school yearbook, textbooks, STEM learning objects, or real time locations. Easy to build, often free, AR-building apps are powerful extensions for traditional content. See how AR is already being built -and see what's coming. Then build some AR together. Make it and take it! Free or low-cost Virtual Reality (VR)-building tools, inexpensive cameras, and simple applications make building virtual worlds possible. Then enter them with cardboard or Go! Walk virtually through real schools, monuments, or imaginary landscapes. Convert student crayon drawings into VR. Learn drag and drop applications than can build VR from the DE asset library. Explore building original VR landscapes then filling them with 3D models-- original or from a library. Build your own adventures in VR, too, with free tour creators. How to do it then view it.
