Participants will deepen and broaden their understanding of how to plan for and implement rigorous instruction that integrates the Next Generation Learning Standards (NGLS), New York State P–12 Science Learning Standards and the Bilingual Common Core Progressions.
An additional leadership session, designed for site and district leaders, is offered on a fourth day, and focuses on site- and district-level implementation and systems support planning to address such aspects as curriculum, multiple program components, and sustaining effective instructional practices to ensure high-quality teaching and learning for all students. |
