Regional meetings are being conducted to receive initial feedback from stakeholders on how to best support programs serving students with disabilities in a manner that is fiscally sustainable, not reliant on tuition appeals, based on standardized parameters and criteria, phased-in overtime, and ensures that tuition rates for all programs are calculated no later than the beginning of each school year. Feedback from students, parents, families, educators, school district representatives, county representatives, approved program providers and other interested stakeholders is sought to receive initial feedback reflecting existing needs and to inform the comprehensive study. The meetings are intended to be hybrid to allow for both in-person and virtual participants. A Zoom link will be sent prior to the event to all who have registered.

94. Regional Science Leadership Cadre

Program: Curriculum Instruction and Prof Dev

Audience: Teachers, administrators, and school leaders committed to supporting high quality science and engineering education

Dates: 11/8/2023 to 3/26/2024

Science classrooms often are a place where students learned about science, but over the past two decades, science education has undergone a major shift in advocating for classrooms to be places where students learn by engaging in, and doing, science and engineering. This means a shift in learning environments, where students ask questions about phenomenon, design and carry out investigations to learn more about the phenomenon, and solve real world problems. Students doing science means engaging in the practices that professional scientists and engineers use on a daily basis. The Regional Science Leadership Cadre represents a collaborative effort between the Warner School of Education at the University of Rochester and regional BOCES, including Wayne-Finger Lakes BOCES, Genesee Valley BOCES, Monroe 1 BOCES, and Monroe 2-Orleans BOCES. This is a professional working group composed of teachers, administrators, and school leaders committed to supporting high quality science teaching and learning through the implementation of the New York State Science Learning Standards (NYSSLS). This group will address the needs of schools in the region to support delivering NYSSLS-aligned (3-D), phenomenon-based, equitable teaching so ALL students at EVERY grade develop robust science understandings and positive science identities in science and engineering.

96. Executive Functioning and Reading Comprehension: Why Don't My Best (Word) Readers Comprehend Text?

Program: Curriculum Instruction and Prof Dev

Audience: K-8 classroom teachers, special education teachers, Principals, Assistant Principals, literacy coordinators, instructional coaches, interventionists

Dates: 11/8/2023

Many times, our students seem to have all of the necessary skills they need to be good readers (things like phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension strategies, to name a few), but somehow, they still struggle with putting all of these things together in order to comprehend texts. In this session, we will dig a bit deeper than the familiar skills listed above to explore essential thinking skills, called executive skills, that support successful word reading and reading comprehension. Executive skills are self-regulatory skills that help students manage their thoughts, emotions, and actions, and include things like working memory, inhibitory control (or self-control), and mental flexibility. These skills are often invisible to teachers and students. However, when students have weak executive skills, the results are often painfully obvious in the classroom. In fact, students who struggle with reading comprehension, despite appropriate word reading skills, show deficits in executive skills that can persist into adulthood! The good news for classroom teachers is that executive skills can be taught, resulting in improvements in these and in reading. In this session, participants will learn (1) more about executive skills, (2) specific ways that they support skilled reading, and (3) research-tested strategies for assessing and strengthening students' executive skills and reading. NOTE: This session will occur in a hybrid format, with Dr. Cartwright presenting via facilitated webinar for the morning session, and a facilitated discussion about implications and application for the afternoon session.
