NYS Next Generation Learning Standards: Leading Advanced Literacies Instruction For the 21st Century

Dr. Nonie Lesaux

Unlike in past decades, reading and writing have become prerequisites for participation in nearly every aspect of day-to-day, 21st century life. Developing the advanced literacy skills necessary to be academically and personally successful in today鈥檚 literacy-and knowledge-based society and economy requires an instructional experience, from early childhood through adolescence, that cultivates knowledge and builds language. This session will focus on the Next Generation Learning Standards and how educators can provide all learners with more and deeper interactions with text and talk in order to foster academic language, ensure an understanding of academic writing and speaking, and deepen knowledge of abstract concepts and ideas.

The Next Generation Mathematics and English Language Arts Learning Standards are a result of a two-year exercise in reflective practice that has demonstrated how a collaborative process of review can create a stronger, more focused, and cohesive set of learning outcomes,听accessible for all types of learners. Why is there a need for change, and how do the Next Generation Learning Standards reflect this need? The morning session will allow participants to actively engage in a discussion of the introductory documents to seek answers to those questions. Participants will look at how standards are defined, how they relate to curriculum, instruction, and assessment, and how they impact student learning. The session will also include discussion around how the introductory documents can be used as meaningful tools to guide local decisions about instructional practice, curriculum, and local assessment.

Specially Designed Instruction and the Next Generation Learning Standards

Presenter: Ruairi Gribbon & Susana Don

Specially Designed Instruction (SDI) is the foundation upon which special education is built. Educators are responsible for implementing and reviewing IEPs to ensure that students are meeting their annual goals. During this workshop, participants will explore current 小猪视频 State Education Department (小猪视频) Part 200 regulations related to SDI, develop an operational understanding of the definition of SDI, and review the role of standards in SDI. These essential understandings are indispensable to ensure access to the general curriculum through accommodations and modifications so that students can meet the same academic standards as their all of their peers, and to ensure progress toward meeting IEP goals and objectives.

小猪视频 State Assessments 鈥 Educators and the Test Development Process

Participants in both the English Language Arts and Mathematics Assessment workshops will see an overview of the test development process, which is a multi-year process that relies on educator involvement at many stages. Participants in the Mathematics Assessment workshop will then consider Reference Sheets for the Grades 3-8 math assessments and Regents exams, and how information is selected for inclusion, while participants in the English Language Arts Assessment Workshop will learn about the passage selection process.
