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.

SUMMARY:The Art of Co-Teaching (Level 3) Elevating Instruction Through Reflection & Differentiation 3-Hour *IN PERSON* Workshop Facilitated by Consulting that Makes a Difference-8:30-11:30am
DESCRIPTION:This is an advanced\, practitioner-centered workshop designed for experienced co-teaching teams who have been working together for more than two years. This level supports seasoned teaching partners in reflecting on their journey\, refining their practices\, and pushing the boundaries of what co-teaching can achieve. It is ideal for educators who have previously completed Level 1 and Level 2\, or who bring extensive co-teaching experience and are ready to evolve their partnership and instructional impact. As co-teachers become more seasoned in working together\, new challenges emerge-student needs become more complex\, team dynamics evolve\, and instructional goals grow more ambitious. This workshop is about recognizing those changes\, honoring the co-teaching journey\, and moving forward with intentionality and innovation. 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/1bRgg82GyavoByXATbG3BbV0QTuWYUhtn/view?usp=sharing\nRegistration: https://www.mylearningplan.com/WebReg/ActivityProfile.asp?D=13208&I=5409156

SUMMARY:Strengthening Writing and Thinking in Science & Social Studies (Grades 4-8) *IN PERSON* facilitated by Lauren Kolbeck Szulc and Deborah Linscott-Feinstein - 8:30-2:30pm
DESCRIPTION:Audience: Classroom teachers grades 4-6\, social studies teachers grades 6-8\, science teachers grades 6-8\, literacy coaches\, ELL teachers and administrators What if helping students write about your content actually deepened their understanding of it? This introductory\, practical workshop is designed for Science and Social Studies teachers who want to help students clearly express their thinking through writing. Grounded in the science of reading and aligned to the New York State Portrait of a Graduate\, this session focuses on how explicit writing instruction can strengthen comprehension\, support critical thinking\, and make content learning stick. Rather than adding more to your plate\, you’ll learn how small\, intentional instructional moves can help students successfully write about what they are learning-at both the sentence and paragraph level. What You’ll Learn and Experience: An Introduction to the Science of Reading-With a Focus on Writing Aligning Writing to the NYS Portrait of a Graduate Using Explicit Instruction to Teach Content Writing From Sentences to Strong Paragraphs Practical\, Ready-to-Use Strategies Eligible for 6 hours CTLE credit.

SUMMARY:The Philosophy and Practice Behind Reciprocal Mentorship While Project-Based Learning in the K-12 Classroom and Beyond *IN PERSON* facilitated by Dr. Melissa Jacobs - 8:30-2:30pm
DESCRIPTION:As we increasingly rely on computers for everyday interactions\, the power of human connection requires greater skill development. Reciprocal mentoring programs are designed to both sustain and engage individuals in a successful evidence based method for greater productivity in K-12 and beyond. Building networks within the classroom between student learners to work towards building community\, creating collaborative relationships while critically thinking about the work around them helps to build more resilient students. Ultimately\, taking that model and establishing those networks between stakeholders to break down silos will be introduced through a project-based approach. Objectives: -Address the reciprocal design in mentoring and your role as change agents -Compare the differences between reciprocal and other types of mentorship -Understand the practical design features that can be incorporated into practice -Understand the impact reciprocal mentorship design has in challenging the mainstream mentoring design and its weaknesses -Assess how reciprocity supports equity and inclusion in its design Work to implement the strategies learned Eligible for 6 hours CTLE credit.

SUMMARY:NYSED Biology Investigations Refresher: Building Student Skills and Maximizing Student Agency *IN PERSON* Facilitated by Glen Cochrane - 8:30-2:30pm
DESCRIPTION:Are you and your students still navigating the nuances of the required investigations? This workshop focuses on using the investigations to foster student-centered learning\, emphasizing the 3D aspects and the most challenging components for classroom management and student learning. It will serve as a refresher for the three mandated NYSED Biology Investigations. During the first and even the second year of implementation\, classroom management\, student agency (student-centered learning)\, and student skills proved challenging. We will address how to shift to student-centered implementation with minimal teacher support and develop prompts that encourage students to test solutions. The investigations assess performance expectations that cannot be evaluated at proficiency on the Regents exam. Students are expected to plan and conduct an investigation\, use a model to explain a phenomenon\, and compare gene frequencies with and without selection factors. Deficiencies in students’ prior learning and skill mastery that underpin high school expectations have added to the challenges to student success. Student activities to develop the skills needed before conducting the investigations will be provided. ***PARTICIPANTS MUST BRING PAPER COPIES OF EACH BIOLOGY INVESTIGATION’S DOCUMENTS. THESE CANNOT BE PROVIDED. **B.Y.O.D. (Bring Your Own Device) – Participants should bring a fully charged laptop\, iPad\, or tablet to download resources and access websites during the workshop. Eligible for 6 hours CTLE credit. Can use 1 consortium seat. If district pays\, district approval must be confirmed prior to start of session.\nFlyer: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Q9WoIF3ceTsbUvYKrTJa8LT5ksbBqDJE/view?usp=sharing\nRegistration: https://www.mylearningplan.com/WebReg/ActivityProfile.asp?D=13208&I=5414102
