The BOCES 4 Science Curriculum Unit Workshops provide an in-depth look at a particular unit, along with NYSSLS-aligned instructional strategies, content-specific information, formative and summative assessments and more. Teachers will walk away prepared to begin teaching the relevant NYSSLS-aligned curriculum unit, armed with helpful tips on how best to manage materials effectively and how to provide instruction in the most efficient and engaging ways throughout the unit.
One CTLE credit is earned for every hour of training attended. Curriculum unit workshops are provided at no cost to those districts who lease the corresponding BOCES 4 Science unit.
