How to Use Those Old Algebra Regents Tests
Have you ever wondered if you could use your old Algebra tests to help students with the Algebra I Common Core? Since 2002, New York State has given out three versions of Algebra tests: Math A, Integrated Algebra, and Algebra I. A qualitative analysis was conducted on these exams, and patterns were found in the types of questioning.

Positive Praise Walks - Building a Culture of Sharing and Celebrating Best Practices
There is tremendous potential for professional growth when educators watch their peers in the classroom and are provided the opportunity to discuss and share best instructional practices. This concept can be met with fear and resistance. Workshop participants will be introduced to the process of positive praise walks and will learn how this celebratory practice has built trust, empowered educators, leveraged a culture of sharing, and improved instructional practice within schools in one local district. Participants will leave the session equipped with the necessary simple steps and success tips to implement the transformational positive praise walks in their own school buildings.

Civics Education for Participation in Government - Seven Complete Lessons
The League of Women Voters of NYS Education Foundation (League), with the collaboration and assistance of the NYS Social Studies Supervisory Association (NYS4A) and three high school PIG teachers developed seven complete lessons as an educational resource and program-ready materials to be used in the schools and communities across New York State. The goal of the project was to bring a heightened knowledge of the formal system of government, a better understanding of the forces that can change the balance of power, and a better understanding of how to be an active citizen, knowing their rights and responsibilities All seven lessons, with handouts and materials are now posted online at the New York League of Women Voters website. During the presentation, we will look over the lessons and discuss ways to use parts of all of them in a Participation in Government class. Link to Enroll: https://bit.ly/2TUIdz7
