SUMMARY:Responding to Challenging Student Behaviors: A Learning Community Four 1-1/2 hour VIRTUAL sessions facilitated by Michelle Levy - 9-10:30am
DESCRIPTION:Audience: teachers\, administrators\, support staff and clinicians Through collaborative discussion\, this four-session series explores underlying factors of student behavior\, applies function-based thinking to develop effective interventions\, and examines instructional strategies that support diverse learners. Each session builds on the last\, allowing for reflection\, adjustment based on district needs\, and practical application in classrooms. Session 1: Thursday\, October 29\, 2026 Understanding Factors influencing Challenging Student Behavior. Discussion will focus on developing awareness of environmental external factors as well as internal child factors that serve as triggers for challenging behavior Session 2: Tuesday\, December 1\, 2026 Function Based Thinking: Discussion will focus on the use of a systematic approach known as the Behavior Chain to analyze the triggers and the purposes behind the use of challenging behavior and subsequently develop responses and interventions. This approach will empower classroom staff to begin the process of developing interventions on their own in a timely manner while helping clinicians develop effective and compliant FBA/BIP documents Session 3: Wednesday\, January 27\, 2027 Adapting Instruction to Address Behavior: Discussion will focus on the relationship between instructional practices as a trigger for problematic student behavior. Instructional strategies will be shared to make learning more accessible for struggling students. Session 4: Thursday\, March 4\, 2027 Reflection: Discussion will focus on knowledge gained during previous sessions and classroom implementation successes and challenges. Eligible for 6 hours CTLE credit. Can use 1 Consortium seat.

SUMMARY:Reflect\, Refine\, Redesign: A Collaborative 2-Day Workshop for NYSSLS Biology *IN PERSON* Presented by Glen Cochrane - 8:30-2:30pm
DESCRIPTION:Are you one or two years into implementing your three-dimensional\, NYSSLS-based Biology curriculum? Now is an ideal time to assess its effectiveness and alignment with student-centered\, phenomenon-based\, three-dimensional learning and to identify areas for improvement. Let’s work together to enhance our teaching strategies to better support student success. This two-day workshop offers a collaborative workspace focused on curriculum\, instruction\, and assessment. On day one\, review your NYSSLS-based Biology curriculum and lessons. Bring samples of a unit and lessons for quick evaluation using screeners to ensure the activities meet NYSSLS standards. Also\, share your ideas for areas to improve. This workspace will help you use AI to outline mini storylines centered on local\, relevant anchor phenomena and to begin developing your lessons. Day two will focus on your assessment system and strategies to help students develop skills needed to improve their responses to Biology Regents clusters. Bring samples of your assessments for evaluation with a screener. More storyline-based assessments featuring novel scenarios are needed to evaluate all three dimensions of your curriculum and to provide students with consistent opportunities to engage with them throughout the school year. Explore how AI can be a valuable tool in this process. AI tools are not exam generators\, as each cluster requires refinement and relevant resources. The goal is to meet students where they are and support their growth throughout the year.\nThis is a two-day collaborative workshop with participants expected to attend both days. BYOD (Bring Your Own Device)\nEligible for 12 hours CTLE. Can use 2 consortium seats.\nFlyer: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1r-FkqhQ3A7QRbGJiPnvlzVgDC_DQx2uy/view?usp=sharing\nRegistration: https://www.mylearningplan.com/WebReg/ActivityProfile.asp?D=13208&I=5413815

SUMMARY:Taking the Challenge out of Conversations: How to Communicate so You'll Both Feel Heard VIRTUAL 3-hour Workshop facilitated by Joan Fretz - 8:30-11:30am
DESCRIPTION:Challenging times call for school adults to communicate issues and needs without judgment or blame. This workshop introduces a simple 4-step process for improving our ability to: 1) say what we are observing without evaluation\, 2) listen for and acknowledge the feelings and needs of others\, 3) state our needs\, and 4) make requests instead of demands. Developed by Marshall Rosenberg (Non-Violent Communication) and further developed by Oren J. Sofer (A Mindful Approach to Non-Violent Communication) this process serves as an effective way for school adults to communicate without judgment and have their own needs met as well. Creating schools where people want to teach and learn begins with how we communicate. Eligible for 3 hours CTLE credit. If district pays\, district approval must be confirmed prior to start of session\nFlyer: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dsvcjBNO-dB09hlKZ6ZcGg_JRqyi3fRk/view?usp=sharing\nRegistration: https://www.mylearningplan.com/WebReg/ActivityProfile.asp?D=13208&I=5406313

SUMMARY:THE SCIENCE OF READING FOR MULTILINGUAL LEARNERS TOOLKIT BRIEF #2 Teaching Reading in Multilingual Classrooms: Moving Beyond A Deficit Perspective VIRTUAL Workshop facilitated by Dana Brown - 8:30-2:30pm
DESCRIPTION:In this workshop\, we will spend the first part of the day unpacking the full article of the brief to understand the data and research presented while absorbing the classroom examples\, reviewing the conclusion and recommendations\, as well as the references and resources so we can work together to reflect and apply the revised instructional practices during the second part of the day. Participants will work throughout this day long workshop to link practical classroom resources\, engage in example teaching and learning activities\, and focus on planning and preparation to implement this brief with the following outcomes: -How to build upon early exposure to language\, songs and stories in the home -Understand the concept of dynamic assessments and how to use family input to better understand a student’s true capabilities -Build family partnerships by gathering insights about language use\, literacy practices and daily life to affirm student identities and experiences -Use home languages to promote equity engagement and academic achievement for all Eligible for 6 hours CTLE credit.
