This is Part 4 in the Series: The Art and Science of Reading: How does it look in the K-2 classroom?

This 1-hour zoom session explores what the current research indicates about the use of the three cueing systems (MSV) during reading. Common misunderstandings around this hotly debated topic will be addressed.

This session is part of our series reviewing topics relating to the Science of Reading in early literacy instruction. The sessions are based in part on guidance provided by NYSED's Literacy Initiative and the Science of Reading Brief Series released in January, 2024. Though it is recommended to attend all six sessions, it is not required.

96. Monique Burr Foundation Certified Facilitator Training (ToT)- Grades 6-12 ONLY
Program: Curriculum Instruction and Prof Dev
Dates: 1/13/2025

The Train the Trainer workshop (ToT) will prepare and educate school staff designated to implement the MBF Child Safety Matters (grades 6-12) curriculum during the 2024-2025 school year. During the ToT training, Facilitators will also receive Less Is More training. Created by the New York State Children's Alliance, Inc., the Less is More training highlights the integral role a Mandated Reporter has in a child abuse investigation process. Our goal is to help Facilitators feel confident about communicating with students who have experienced trauma, what to do when they suspect child abuse, and reassure them of the importance of their role when it comes to protecting children. The objectives include knowing what is needed to make a referral, how to gather necessary information without questioning the child, the importance of the role of a Mandated Reporter, what a CAC is and how it works and why some cases do not move forward. To ensure maximum learning potential, each full day ToT workshop will consist of a maximum of 20 participants. Multiple sessions will be offered throughout the school year.

97. Community of Practice: Science of Reading Fundamentals and Implications
Program: Curriculum Instruction and Prof Dev
Audience: Administrators, Literacy Coaches, Reading Specialists, Curriculum Leaders
Dates: 1/13/2025 to 5/16/2025

A Blended Approach to Professional Learning Once our cohort is established (minimum of 20 participants), Monroe 2-Orleans BOCES will send a registration link to the SUNY New Paltz Science of Reading Fundamentals Microcredential. Each participant will complete the assigned modules through an asynchronous format, and will come together in-person at regular intervals to discuss the content of the module(s), make connections to the NYSED Literacy Initiative (including the Literacy Briefs and the upcoming Best Practices Guide) and to consider implications for their own work. Why a regional Community of Practice? It's about collective growth. When educators come together in these collaborative spaces, they can engage in deep discussion around best practices, troubleshoot challenges, and reflect on the impact of their professional learning. By discussing experiences and strategies, teachers can enhance their instructional techniques, positively impacting student learning outcomes. Ultimately, a Community of Practice transforms the teaching experience from solitary to shared, enriching the professional journey with collective wisdom and camaraderie. The Microcredential modules comprise 35 hours of asynchronous professional learning. Our Community of Practice Sessions consist of five 1.5 hour in-person sessions, for 7.5 in-person hours. Registration links to the Microcredential will be sent to registered participants by mid-November. Participants can complete modules at their own pace, but modules should be completed in advance of each sesssion: January: Phonemic Awareness and Phonics February: Fluency March: Vocabulary April: Comprehension May: Going Deeper: Applications & Implications

Program: Mid-West RBE-RN
Audience: ESOL/Billingual Teachers; Special Education Teachers; School Administrators; PPS Directors;
Dates: 1/13/2025 to 2/10/2025

In 2018, The Office of Special Education Programs released a series of 4 briefs from Project ELITE, Project ELLIPSES, and Project LEE titled, Meeting the Needs of English Learners With and Without Disabilities. These briefs focus on the Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS) framework for the language and learning needs of ELLS and highlight the key questions and considerations that educators often encounter when implementing tiered instruction for our bi/multilingual learners. Join us as we explore the process of creating a multi-tiered system of support for English Language Learners. Participants will have time to review the briefs from the Office of Special Education Programs and discuss possibilities for creating a multi-tiered system of support for their school, district, or classroom. Participants will meet twice on zoom and complete a portion of the work asynchronously prior to the final meeting date.
