SUMMARY:Taking Standards-Based Feedback & Assessment to the Next Level
DESCRIPTION:A 2-day advanced workshop to help you further standards-based assessment & feedback practices in your classroom.\n\n\nKEY INFORMATION\n\nLOCATION: St. Francis College\, 179 Livingston St.\, Brooklyn\nDATE & TIME: Monday\, July 27 – Wednesday\, July 29\, 2026\, 9am – 3pm daily\nLED BY: Sharona Kahn\, Smith\, and Mark Schober (bios below)\nCTLE AVAILABLE: 18\nTHIS WORKSHOP IS FOR: teachers/educators working with any subject\, any age level who have little or no experience in the SBFA techniques.\n\n🚨NOTE: this is an advanced-level workshop for those who have some experience. Completion of the introductory-level workshop is not mandated\, but highly suggested. To take the intro workshop this summer\, running Monday – Wednesday of the same week\, please register here. \n \nWORKSHOP DESCRIPTION\nThis 3-day introductory workshop is designed for educators of all disciplines who want to explore how Standards-Based Assessment and Feedback techniques can transform their classrooms. How and what we assess fundamentally affects how we teach\, how our students learn\, and the relationships we build with them. By critically examining traditional grading practices—and the ways they can contribute to student inequalities—we’ll explore how shifting to a standards-based approach helps clarify what we want students to know and be able to do\, and how to communicate those objectives clearly. \nOver the course of the workshop\, you’ll be guided through the steps to set up your classes for standards-based grading\, with a focus on incremental\, manageable change. Together\, we’ll craft and refine learning objectives\, connect those objectives to assessments\, and explore how to provide feedback that helps students meet your goals. And you’ll develop methods to provide your students with itemized feedback aligned to defined course objectives\, helping them better understand what they know and what they need to practice\, supporting a growth mindset and a practice-until-you-succeed approach to learning. \nThere will be structured time to evaluate your current grading practices\, examine sample standards\, assessments\, and gradebooks\, and begin tailoring these tools for your own classroom. Throughout\, we’ll consider how to design an assessment system that is part of a cyclical learning process and reflects an equity lens. Whether you’re new to standards-based grading or just getting started\, you’ll leave with practical strategies\, concrete resources\, and a clear path forward. It will be a fun and intense few days that we hope you will find invigorating and rewarding! \n \nWORKSHOP LEADERS\nSharona Kahn is the Mathematics Department Chair at the Berkeley Carroll School\, where she has taught and advised middle school students for the past eight years. With 16 years of experience in education\, she focuses on creating hands-on\, equitable learning experiences that help students develop deep mathematical understanding. Since joining STEMteachersNYC in 2017\, Sharona has both taken and led workshops\, with a particular passion for standards-based feedback and assessment. She is a recipient of the Siegel STEM Fellow Endowment. \nSmith – bio coming soon! \nMark Schober – bio coming soon! \n \nABOUT STEMteachersNYC\nSTEMteachersNYC is celebrating 15 years!

SUMMARY:Exploring Green Careers - A High School Curriculum
DESCRIPTION:Explore green careers and sustainability with a hands-on curriculum—engage students in climate\, SDGs\, and real-world career pathways.\n\n\nKEY INFORMATION\n\nLOCATION: Solar One Environmental Education Center at Stuyvesant Cove Park\, 800 FDR Dr Service Rd East (between E20th and E23rd)\, Manhattan\nDATE & TIME: Monday\, August 4 – Tuesday\, August 5\, 2026\, 9am – 3pm daily\nLED BY: Joshua Frost\nCTLE AVAILABLE: 12\nTHIS WORKSHOP IS FOR: High school teachers looking to incorporate green career exploration and sustainability into their science\, or other\, classroom.\n\nWORKSHOP DESCRIPTION\nAre you looking for ways to incorporate more career exploration and sustainability topics into your curriculum? In this two-day workshop\, you will get a hands-on introduction to the Exploring Sustainability and the Green Economy curriculum. We’ll take a hands-on approach to show you how to use this curriculum in which your students will learn about the impacts of climate change\, and about sustainability with an emphasis on understanding the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG’s)\, while also exploring green skills\, climate justice and a thorough overview of a multitude of green careers that are highlighted in the Bureau of Labor Standards’ green career clusters. These are the careers that both the US government and the energy sector believe are essential for growing our nation’s green workforce so we can both develop sustainably and provide our students with a true role in shaping our nation’s drive towards decarbonization. \nThis curriculum can be used in a variety of ways: in mini units that focus on providing an overview of sustainability; unpacking green skills and learning about a myriad of different careers aligned to the green economy; or as a full one-year course that fits neatly in a science course sequence but could be just seamlessly incorporated into a humanities elective with its emphasis on economics and other social studies related context. You’ll learn how to create and develop 4 big projects\, with activities and grading rubrics for each\, and how to differentiate the projects to meet your school community’s specific academic goals. \nThrough the two larger units that provide an overview of sustainability\, career exploration\, plus the associated capstone and marketing projects\, your students will link the NYC sustainable development goals and initiatives with the UN’s goals\, look at a variety of careers in key green career sectors aligned with these goals\, and develop visual\, written\, printed\, and other works for presentation and review by their classmates. A truly multidisciplinary project which will instill in your students the importance of their career choices\, and\, we hope\, inspire them to develop and follow their own passions! \nWe thank Solar One for the support for this workshop which has allowed us to offer the workshop at a reduced price\, and for inviting us to host this workshop at their facilities! \n \nWORKSHOP LEADER\nJoshua Frost is a veteran NYC Public Schools social studies teacher with over 25 years of experience\, currently teaching AP Macroeconomics and Government at Brooklyn Technical High School. He designs curriculum that connects course content to real-world applications and has contributed to NYC DOE curriculum writing teams\, interdisciplinary initiatives\, and the Sustainability Pathway\, helping pilot and promote Exploring Sustainability and the Green Economy with Solar1 and STEMteachersNYC. His work has earned multiple grants and fellowships\, including the Alfred P. Sloan Champion Award\, Fund for Teachers grants\, and an Annenberg Civic Education Fellowship\, and has led to innovative project-based learning in his classroom. Joshua has also served on DOE leadership teams focused on climate education\, curriculum diversity\, and equity\, and led students to a Fed Challenge victory with a published podcast script. Beyond the classroom\, he is active in his community\, including serving on Manhattan’s Community Board 2. \n \nABOUT STEMteachersNYC\nSTEMteachersNYC is celebrating 15 years!
