Assessments NYS ELA Testing: Next Steps Description: Though the 2015 NYS ELA Test is over, plenty of reflective questions remain. Did I prepare my students well? What changes can I make for next year in curriculum and instruction? Do my assessments give me the necessary information to plan for next steps? Join us as we collaborate as a region around the work that we have done and begin our plans for future Common Core aligned curriculum, instruction and assessment. We will spend time reviewing model questions and then, participants will use classroom texts to create CCSS-aligned question sets that support good teaching and learning. Materials: Bring an array of literary and informational complex texts that you use in your classrooms.
