A Message from the Deputy Superintendent

Welcome to our Fall 2012 Professional Learning Catalog!

As a result of The New York State Regents Reform Agenda educators are facing significant changes. Dutchess BOCES Educational Resources is dedicated to working collaboratively with our component districts to meet the challenges before us. We are working hard to support school districts, teachers, and leaders with the successful implementation of APPR. We continue to provide professional development and support to teachers to help them continually implement their practice.

The Dutchess BOCES Educational Resources Division offers advisory councils, network teams, consultant activities, workshops, online trainings, and business and university partnerships. In an environment of fiscal pressures, changing regulations, and higher expectations BOCES provides shared services and collaboration.

Educational Resources wishes you a productive year and we look forward to your continued partnership.

Linda A. Heitmann, Deputy Superintendent

2New York State Teaching Standards

We concur with the Regents’ belief that all students should be prepared to graduate from high school ready for postsecondary education and employment. Our commitment to pursue and transform this belief into a reality is captured throughout our fall catalog and is the focus of each professional development session we facilitate. We are proud to be your partner in continuing to create a comprehensive systemic approach to improving teaching and learning in Dutchess County. A mutually desired outcome is creating conditions for educational innovation and reform to significantly improve student outcomes.

The importance of effective teaching and leadership is unparallel. The New York State Teaching Standards are the guidepost ensuring that each student has an effective teacher in every classroom. Each professional development workshop for teachers is aligned to the New York State Teaching Standards. School districts may use the catalog this year to shape, form, and improve teacher practice.

STaNdard 1Teachers acquire knowledge of each student and demon-strate knowledge of student development and learning to promote achievement for all students.

STaNdard 2Teachers know the content they are responsible for teaching and plan instruction that ensures growth and achievement for all students.

STaNdard 3Teachers implement instruction that engages and challenges all students to meet or exceed the learning standards.

STaNdard 4Teachers work with all students to create a dynamic learning environment that supports achievement and growth.

STaNdard 5Teachers use multiple measures to assess and document student growth, evaluate instructional effectiveness, and modify instruction.

STaNdard 6Teachers demonstrate professional responsibility and engage relevant stakeholders to maximize student growth, development, and learning.

STaNdard 7Teachers set informed goals and strive for continuous professional growth.

2Smartboard for beginners

This workshop will teach you to use a SMART Board and the SMART Notebook software. Combining a whiteboard with the power of a computer, the SMART Board interactive whiteboard engages students and audiences in learning. The touch-sensitive display connects to your computer and digital projector to allow for interaction between students and lessons. You can control computer applications (i.e.-documents, presentations) directly from the display, write notes in digital ink and save or print your work. Best of all, the SMART Board interactive whiteboard is incredibly easy to use.

(elearning districts only)

Moodle is a course management system (CMS) like Blackboard. Unlike Blackboard, Moodle is open source and, as a result, free to use. This software helps educators create either a static webpage or a dynamic online learning community for students. Teachers can use it to post homework assignments or class notes, or they can take it a step further and have students enroll in your course to upload assignments and participate in forums. This online course will show you the basics of setting up a Moodle page and adding resources to the page. It meets the criteria of an instructed course.
