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:The Art of Co-Teaching (Level 2) Deepening the Co-Teaching Partnership and Practice 3-Hour *IN PERSON* Workshop Facilitated by Consulting that Makes a Difference-8:30-11:30am
DESCRIPTION:This is a dynamic\, hands-on workshop specifically designed for co-teaching teams who have worked together for at least two years and are ready to advance their skills\, deepen their collaboration\, and refine their instructional practices. This workshop builds on the foundational knowledge and experience gained in Level 1\, offering co-teachers a chance to reflect\, recalibrate\, and reignite their partnership through focused exploration\, meaningful dialogue\, and intentional planning. As co-teaching becomes more established in classrooms\, educators often find themselves seeking more advanced tools and structures to meet the evolving needs of their students\, refine their use of the six co-teaching models\, and strengthen their interpersonal dynamics. Level 2 is designed to meet these needs\, offering experienced co-teachers the space to move beyond basic implementation and toward true instructional synergy. 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/120NMauneyLLaA79Xz95AkCUzwJDyX2tu/view?usp=sharing\nRegistration: https://www.mylearningplan.com/WebReg/ActivityProfile.asp?D=13208&I=5409109

SUMMARY:Beyond the Plateau: Science-Based Fluency Strategies for the Classroom *IN PERSON* facilitated by Lauren Kolbeck Szulc - 8:30-2:30pm
DESCRIPTION:Audience: Classroom teachers grades 1-6\, reading teachers\, literacy coaches\, ELL teachers and administrators Are your students “stuck in the middle of the bridge”-able to decode but lacking the automaticity needed to truly comprehend and enjoy what they read? This full-day\, interactive workshop equips educators with a comprehensive Science of Reading-aligned toolbox designed specifically for the needs of developing readers. We’ll redefine fluency as the integration of accuracy\, appropriate rate\, and prosody-the essential gateway to deep comprehension. Participants will: -Implement the “Read Like Us” protocol -Apply scaffolding techniques in small group instruction to provide all students access to complex\, grade-level text. -Design and curate text sets that promote wide reading and develop academic vocabulary. -Use ORF and WCPM data to make informed instructional decisions\, targeting appropriate fluency benchmarks rather than speed alone. The afternoon session focuses on maximizing the impact of small group instruction. Participants will practice delivering immediate\, targeted feedback and using strategies such as listening passage previews to support students with challenging texts. By shifting from finding the “perfect level” to designing the right scaffold\, educators can ensure every student reaches the doorway to comprehension. Eligible for 6 hours CTLE credit. If district pays\, district approval must be confirmed prior to start of session.\nFlyer: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1BEC1LchIJyeIyXJ7je9eiy6VDD_pqLWo/view?usp=sharing\nRegistration: https://www.mylearningplan.com/WebReg/ActivityProfile.asp?D=13208&I=5392830

SUMMARY:Nuts and Bolts of the NYSSLS for High School Physics *IN PERSON* facilitated by Richard Slesinski - 8:30-2:30pm
DESCRIPTION:This interactive workshop supports high school physics teachers in navigating the shift to the New York State Science Learning Standards (NYSSLS). Participants will unpack the 3-dimensional nature of the performance expectations\, explore released cluster items\, and be introduced to developing unit plans rooted in storyline design. Special emphasis will be placed on clarifying what’s “in” and “out” in terms of content\, aligning instruction with the intent of the standards\, and using the “Activity Before Content” (ABC) approach to promote student sensemaking. Learning Targets: 1. Analyze NYSSLS performance expectations using the 3 dimensions. 2. Identify new and omitted content in NYSSLS-aligned physics compared to previous standards. 3. Draft a realistic pacing guide for the school year. 4. Examine released cluster items to understand performance levels and student expectations. 5. Explore the basics of unit storyline development\, anchored in compelling phenomena and student-driven questions. Eligible for 6 hours CTLE credit. If district pays\, district approval must be confirmed prior to start of session.\nFlyer: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1fKyFVLrFom3fLp2ggExZORUW2vzDGMyf/view?usp=sharing\nRegistration: https://www.mylearningplan.com/WebReg/ActivityProfile.asp?D=13208&I=5416715
