Register at www.pnwboces.org/catalog Stop Counting by Ones or Else! What strategies can we employ to help our students better understand the number system? Once our students understand cardinality of a set, and that one more means the next counting number, we teach them to “count on”. But that is where many of them get stuck! Unless we teach them intermediate strategies to use before they have all of their facts memorized, they will continue to count on by ones. Teaching them to use five frames, ten frames, and then use the base ten system to decompose and recompose numbers gives them strategies they can use not only in “basic fact” numbers but greater numbers as well. The connection to multiplication and “counting by multiples” is a natural extension of counting by ones. It slows them down and keeps them using their fingers. This workshop will address the unintended consequences of counting strategies in the four basic operations and offer alternatives that allow for better understanding of the operations and of our number system. PARTICIPANTS: K - 5 educators (regular and special education) DATE/TIME: Jan 7 2014 8:30AM - 3:00PM COST: $176 for Curriculum Center Members; $202 Curriculum Center Non Members LOCATION: Putnam/Northern Westchester BOCES; Yorktown Heights, NY; School Services Building FACILITATOR: Mary Altieri taught in the Lakeland School District for over 30 years.

Register at www.pnwboces.org/catalog Preparing for the New Science Standards: Planning Instruction, Integrating Science Practices, Core Ideas and Crosscutting Concepts What steps can we take to prepare for the Next Generation Science Standards? Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics To align with the the Next Generation Science Standards and the Framework for K-12 Science Education, there will need to be a fundamental change in the way we teach science. After a brief introduction to the Framework and NGSS, this workshop will focus on guiding teachers in developing instructional materials that emphasize the process of science and integrate the Science Practices and Crosscutting Concepts with the Core Ideas, preparing students for assessments based on the Performance Expectations. Teachers will choose one topic and one or more Performance Expectations that are appropriate for their grade level. They will work collaboratively to: • Describe the learning goal and the acceptable evidence for achievement of this goal • Develop a “conceptual flow”, (i.e. an instructional sequence) for the topic • Plan activities that involve the science practices and crosscutting concepts and lead students to an understanding of the core idea. PARTICIPANTS: Elementary teachers, science teachers, science curriculum coordinators/directors DATE/TIME: Jan 13 2014 8:30AM - 3:00PM COST: $142 for Curriculum Center Members; $163 Curriculum Center Non Members LOCATION: Putnam/Northern Westchester BOCES; Yorktown Heights, NY; School Services Building FACILITATOR: Myrna Klotzkin is a scientist and science educator, who served as the K-12 Science Director at the North Shore School District for 13 years. She is Emeritus Professor of Chemistry (Manhattanville College), with a Ph.D. from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and is the author of several research publications. At North Shore Schools, Dr. Klotzkin chaired the high school and middle school science departments and supervised teachers at all levels. She guided her teachers in the development of a fully articulated K-12 science curriculum, and provided staff development at all levels of science instruction. Presently, Dr. Klotzkin teaches professional development workshops and is a Putnam/Northern Westchester BOCES on-site consultant in all areas of science education, focusing this year on preparing teachers for the Next Generation Science Standards. She is available for onsite consultation. REGISTRATION REQUIRED BY: 12/30/<strong>2013</strong> 86
