Three-Dimensional Learning shifts the focus of the science classroom to an environment where students use disciplinary core ideas, crosscutting concepts, and scientific practice to explore, examine, and explain how and why phenomena occur and to design solutions to problems. In short, it is a model for pushing student involvement and critical thinking. Participants will learn strategies for using this structure in their Science Classroom.

Are you ready to implement the new Computer Science & Digital Fluency Standards into your lessons? All teachers play a role in rolling out these standards. This session will introduce you to the NEW standards, develop ideas for implementing the NEW standards and provide methods of teaching to the NEW standards. In December 2020 the NYS Board of Regents adopted the K-12 NYS Computer Science and Digital Fluency standards.  Beginning September 2023 all credit-bearing Computer Science courses will need to be implementing the NYS CS&DF standards.  By September 2024 the NYS CS&DF standards will need to be implemented fully in all grade bands K-12. This session will help Elementary/Secondary teachers and administrators build capacity for implementing the standards into their classrooms.  Participants will also be given strategies and resources for teaching the NYS CS&DF standards.

Audience: K-12 Teachers 

Presenters: Jennifer Stanton, Sheri Perry, MORIC Model Schools
