Register at www.pnwboces.org/catalog Meeting the CCLS for Mathematical Practices with Engaging Curriculum Materials How do we successfully get our students to make sense of problems, persevere in solving them, reason abstractly and quantitatively, construct viable arguments, model with mathematics, attend to precision, find and make use of structure, and find and express regularity in repeated reasoning? The CCLS for Mathematical Practices gets to the real core of what education should be about. In fact, if the word mathematics is deleted, the standards for mathematical practice could be the core for any subject area. The standards for mathematics require deep understanding of concepts and the ability to use this understanding to solve problems. In this workshop we will explore a rich collection of problems for middle school mathematics students that connect number and operation, geometry, and algebra as well as the eight mathematics practice standards. We will discuss the mathematical richness of the problems and share methods of using this material to differentiate instruction. This workshop will assist teachers in designing and integrating learning experiences that will support students as real-world problem solvers while continuing to develop their mathematical understanding and fluency. PARTICIPANTS: Teachers of mathematics in grades 6-8 DATE/TIME: Jan 24 2014 8:30AM - 3:00PM COST: $132 for Curriculum Center Members; $152 Curriculum Center Non Members LOCATION: Putnam/Northern Westchester BOCES; Yorktown Heights, NY; School Services Building FACILITATOR: Jim Matthews has been a faculty member at Siena College where he teaches mathematics, computer science, and courses for the education department. Mr. Matthews has given conference presentations and written articles based on ideas for improving the teaching of mathematics. He has also co-directed successful grant projects on integrating the teaching of mathematics and science and is currently the principal investigator on a $1.2 million grant to Siena from the National Science Foundation with the goal of improving the preparation of mathematics and science teachers, especially for high-needs school districts. Mr. Matthews helped develop undergraduate and graduate programs for mathematics and science teachers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. He served as president of the Association of Mathematics Teachers of New York State and continues to be an active member of this association along with the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, and the Mathematical Association of America.

Register at www.pnwboces.org/catalog Elementary Level Science (ELS) Performance Test Training What skills and knowledge are assessed using the NYS Elementary Level Science Test? Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics This one day workshop will prepare participants to set up, administer, and score the current version (Form A) of the New York State Elementary Level Science test. This workshop is limited to no more than twentyfour participants. As a result of this workshop, educators will: • Identify Grades K-4 Learning Standards and core major understandings that are being addressed in the ELS assessment • Become familiar with how to set up the three task stations for the performance test • Acquire helpful tips for the setup and administration of the performance test • Be able to administer, and learn how to score, the performance portion of the ELS test • Turnkey train other elementary level teachers who will be administering and scoring the performance component • Share strategies and ideas for developing parallel tasks and learning activities. PARTICIPANTS: Educators new to the facilitation and setup of the Elementary Level Science test (administrators, elementary teachers, special educators, staff developers, and instructional coaches). DATE/TIME: Feb 3 2014 8:30AM - 3:00PM COST: $150 for Curriculum Center Members; $173 Curriculum Center Non Members LOCATION: Putnam/Northern Westchester BOCES; Yorktown Heights, NY; School Services Building FACILITATOR: Fred Ende is the Assistant Director of Curriculum and Instructional Services for Putnam/ Northern Westchester BOCES. Prior to this role, Mr. Ende served as the Regional Science Coordinator and Director of SCIENCE 21 at P/NW BOCES, and worked for ten years in Chappaqua as a middle school science teacher and department chair. He was also a facilitator for the American Museum of Natural History’s online professional development program and has both written and reviewed manuscripts for the National Science Teachers Association and ASCD.
