Math/Science Collaborative for Lesson Development - Year Three
How can we integrate math and science curriculum to promote long-term learning?
Our math/science colleagues are invited to do further collaborative work on math/science lessons
that integrate the CCLS Math and the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). Essential questions
that accommodate the shifts in learning required by the Common Core and NGSS will be the focus of
this year’s work, as well as the opportunity to develop further lessons for grades 6 - high school courses.
Teams can also choose to develop Common Core model questions for use with their students that
incorporate real world science data. This data may be collected in hands-on activities or selected from
multimedia sources.
Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics
Teams of a math and science teacher from each district are encouraged to attend a two day writing
workshop in the fall and one day in the spring when they will refine the lessons or questions that were
developed and implemented within the school year. New participants are encouraged to join this three
year collaborative effort to make modeling in mathematics and science a reality. All participants have
access to the bank of math/science model lessons already on the wiki.
PARTICIPANTS: Secondary Math and Science teachers
DATE/TIME: Oct 21 2013; Oct 24 2013; Mar 20 2014 8:30AM - 3:00PM

FACILITATOR: Eleanore Livesey, Putnam/Northern Westchester BOCES Math Consultant, taught math
methods and supervised student teachers and graduate interns at Pace University. A former math teacher
(elementary, middle, and high school) and math supervisor at middle and high school levels, she has
worked as a math consultant throughout New York. Mrs. Livesey is the past president of the Association of
Mathematics Teachers of New York State (AMTNYS), NYS Association of Mathematics Educators (NYSAMS),
and Ten County Mathematics Education Association (TCMEA). Mrs. Livesey is available to provide onsite
support in your district.
Helen Pashley’s strong science background originated in England where she was born and raised. In
addition to her teaching experience at the high school level in England, Helen also worked with younger
students as they experienced hands-on science. Dr. Pashley developed popular and successful science
enrichment programs for several school districts in the region. Dr. Pashley currently serves as a science
consultant, curriculum designer and trainer, and a consultant to the P/NW BOCES SCIENCE 21 program.
Two of her NGSS aligned lessons were recently published in Science for the Next Generation by the National
Science Teachers Association (NSTA). Dr. Pashley is available to provide onsite support in your district.
