    A rich and varied knowledge of words is the key to academic success in all subject areas. Yet, many teachers do not address vocabulary instruction effectively or with sufficient emphasis. In this workshop, teachers will learn engaging ways to teach generic academic vocabulary, subject-specific words, and words encountered when reading well-crafted literature. Amy draws upon principles of natural language acquisition to focus on student-friendly and teacher friendly practices that lead to durable vocabulary growth.

    Starting Soon
    Are you implementing the NYSSLS-based Life Science: Biology? Wondering if it is different from Living Environment? This workshop will serve as a refresher for those trying to put the PEs, SEPs, DCIs, CCCs, and phenomenon-based learning into context as you work on a curriculum that is aligned with how students must learn for better retention and be prepared for how they will be assessed on the new Biology regents exam.

    The focus of the workshop is for participants to continue to develop a deeper understanding of how Regents Biology must use a New York State Science Learning Standards (NYSSLS) based curriculum. Students are expected to learn science by engaging in the practices and skills of scientists and engineers. There is content to learn but they will be expected to apply that content to novel phenomena, scenarios, and problems. They will construct their own understandings and build capacity to demonstrate their knowledge in context with much less memorization of science facts.

    ***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 throughout the workshop.

    Moderated by LICADD Someone Took the Gateway Off Its Hinges We used to be able to say that marijuana was THE gateway drug, even if our students didn't like to hear it. We spent time working out new metaphors and explanations while legalization upended them all. But over time, a larger change has made the whole exercise pointless - someone took the "gateway" off its hinges. Our students get started with addictions in a dozen ways now. They get Zyns, stay glued to social media, can gamble from anywhere at any time. Healthy habits like exercise can become so commodified that even they become more harmful than helpful. We'll unpack the ways our students begin the path to addiction today, and how we can redirect them.
