This engaging two-day workshop is designed for Earth and Space Sciences teachers ready to strengthen student-centered\, phenomenon-based\, three-dimensional learning while improving student performance and engagement. Collaborate with fellow educators in a supportive\, hands-on workspace focused on curriculum\, instruction\, and assessment. Together\, we will examine what is working well\, identify opportunities for growth\, and explore practical strategies to make learning more meaningful for students. This two-day workshop provides a collaborative space for teachers to strengthen curriculum\, instruction\, and assessment within their NYSSLS-based Earth and Space Science program. Participants will bring units\, lessons\, and assessments from their own curriculum and use alignment screeners to evaluate how effectively these materials promote three-dimensional learning and meet NYSSLS expectations. Together\, teachers will identify instructional and assessment gaps\, explore strategies to increase student engagement through relevant local anchor phenomena\, and examine how mini storylines can help connect concepts to authentic student experiences. The workshop will also focus on designing assessments that better prepare students for ESS Regents question clusters while authentically measuring all three dimensions of learning. Participants will analyze sample assessments\, explore ways to strengthen students’ scientific reasoning and written responses\, and investigate how storyline-based assessments and novel scenarios can provide students with more consistent opportunities to apply their understanding throughout the year. Throughout the workshop\, AI tools will be explored as resources for brainstorming and refining instructional materials\, assessment ideas\, student supports\, and practice opportunities.\nFlyer: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1EtTV-gpvL2SjZ9hwbUO40YSqiuNfyrwL/view?usp=sharing\nRegistration: https://www.mylearningplan.com/WebReg/ActivityProfile.asp?D=13208&I=5411154 URL:/event/reflect-refine-redesign-a-collaborative-workshop-for-earth-and-space-sciences-curriculum-and-assessment-2-day-workshop-in-person-facilitated-by-brian-vorwald-830-230pm/ LOCATION:JEA Alternative School\, 31 Lee Ave\, Wheatley Heights\, NY\, 11798-1837\, United States CATEGORIES:Instructional Support Services Full Calendar END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20261028T083000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20261028T143000 DTSTAMP:20260613T120133 CREATED:20260514T180107Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260514T180107Z UID:26009-1793176200-1793197800@www.wsboces.org SUMMARY:Mastering the NYS ELA Writing Demands: Strategies for Grades 3-5 *IN PERSON* facilitated by Deborah Linscott-Feinstein - 8:30-2:30pm DESCRIPTION:Audience: administrators\, literacy coaches\, reading teachers\, grades 3-5 ENL\, general and special education teachers whose students are reading approximately on these levels. Equip your 3rd\, 4th\, and 5th-grade students with the tools they need to confidently tackle the writing portions of the NYS ELA assessment! This dynamic seminar is specifically tailored to the foundational writing tasks young learners face\, focusing on how to successfully navigate both 2-credit short responses and the 4-credit extended responses introduced in grades 4 and 5. The Writing Revolution paragraph scaffolding will be utilized\, and several models for compare and contrast essays will be presented. -Participants will explore highly effective\, brain-friendly strategies to simplify test writing. We will unpack exactly what the 2-credit constructed-response rubric demands: a valid inference-like making a claim from their head-supported by two concrete details directly from the text. You will learn how to teach students the “get in\, and get out!” method: writing short and sweet complete sentences without wasting time restating the question\, using transitions\, or over-explaining evidence. -We will also share proven formulas for tackling tricky “how” and “why” questions\, training students to purposefully use words like “by” and “because” to frame their thoughts\, and sort details and inferences within a game format. -Furthermore\, for upper elementary teachers\, we will delve into the expectations of 4-credit extended-response questions\, showing you how to guide students in communicating a clear\, coherent analysis of the texts. Graphic organizers for the compare and contrast essay will be explored. -Simultaneously\, third grade teachers will work on continued grade-appropriate practice activities with short response questions in a small group. Third grade teachers will also work on synthesizing how to elaborate on kernel sentences into short response format.\nFlyer: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ZuxF8K5Vnb0OqgNxiZIRLcP3C3kOtr36/view?usp=sharing\nRegistration: https://www.mylearningplan.com/WebReg/ActivityProfile.asp?D=13208&I=5393617 URL:/event/mastering-the-nys-ela-writing-demands-strategies-for-grades-3-5-in-person-facilitated-by-deborah-linscott-feinstein-830-230pm/ LOCATION:JEA Alternative School\, 31 Lee Ave\, Wheatley Heights\, NY\, 11798-1837\, United States CATEGORIES:Instructional Support Services Full Calendar END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
