The Statewide Professional Development Framework

**2018-19 Dates are Now Available **

Introduction

Each of the five planning teams have been progressing on the plans for their strand. Invoices are just about ready to go out to the BOCES/Big Cities. All sessions will meet at the Capital Region BOCES facility (900 Watervliet-Shaker Road, Suite 102, Albany). This location is relatively close to all of the typical Wolf Road Hotels. Arrangements have not been made with any particular hotel because we are not using their meeting space. Registration will be facilitated by the Capital Region BOCES (see links below). Each participating (paying) BOCES/city will be able to send two attendees per session.

The featured presenters for the February Statewide Science Workshop are Brian Reiser and Michael Novak. Brian Reiser, is a professor of learning science at Northwestern University and Michael Novak, is a National Board Certified middle school science teacher will facilitate a two day session related to creating Next Generation Storylines. The session will provide tools and approaches that can be used to support teachers in adapting, developing, and teaching cohesive units of instructional aligned to the NYSSLS. This process is grounded in phenomena based instruction that allows students' questions to drive three-dimensional instruction.

The Arts - *NEW*
March 12, 2018
​An initial session for S/CDN representatives and an Arts certified leader/thinking partner is being offered.  
This session will better inform S/CDN on the new Standards, as is the intent of all of the Frameworks sessions.  After this day you and your Arts thought partner will have enough information to replicate the day for your area administrators and Arts leaders, but it is not granular enough for teachers (think crosswalks, lesson plans, etc.)

Train the Trainer
This workshop will Raise Awareness and Build Capacity to implement the new New York State Standards in the Arts. Participants will unpack the Standards in the morning and then analyze and apply the Standards to the specific disciplines of  in the afternoon session. Each S/CDN entity may send two certified Arts participants per Arts discipline.
