1. Science Coordinators Meeting May 3, 2017
Joyce Barry,
Mary Loesing, Ed.D.,

2. Agenda
A Word from Our Sponsor Update from NYSED Sample Assessment Discussion: What are you doing in your district to transition to NYSSLS Findings from Grade 6-8 Sequencing Meetings Staff Development Regents Review Resources Other Online Resources Next Year’s Science Coordinator Meetings

3. Our Sponsor Thanks to our sponsor EXPLORE LEARNING Susan Russell
Kyle Fichtman
Thom O’Brien

4. Update from NYSED Implementation Plan Meeting of Steering Committee
Amanda Zullo has joined NYSED as a Science Associate
ESSA

5. Sample assessment Adaptations Sample STEM Gauge – Measured Progress
Information from California

6. Grade 6-8 Sequencing Meetings
Despite our best efforts, it was not possible to come to agreement on one sequence that all Long Island schools would agree to follow, therefore, 3 sequences are presented for consideration:
Domain Model with Earth Science Acceleration
Domain Model with Living Environment Acceleration
Integrated Model
