CEO 3
- It is hard to believe that the Annual Conference has come and gone in a quick flash! Thank you to all of the committee members who worked year long on this event. We have heard quite of bit of positive feedback and really look forward to reading the evaluations with your comments. The goal is always to bring a National level conference to educators in New York, and I think we made great progress in doing that this year!

- Congratulations to our outstanding educators that received their awards at the conference. It is so important to recognize the outstanding work of our leaders, especially when it involved innovation. Please start thinking of colleagues you can nominate in the coming months, and as always - get those creative juices flowing for our classroom grants. It was a huge honor to fund 10 this year and we look forward to the continued growth of that program.

- We announced the release of the new NYSCATE Online Educator Institute at the Annual Conference. The online courses have been revamped, rewritten and meet many of the certification requirements for NY educators! We look forward to hearing your feedback.

NYSCATE Welcomes 2gnoMe to Corporate Council
NYSCATE is proud to announce that 2gnoMe ("To know me") has become the newest member of our Corporate Council for 2022-23.
With 2gnoMe, teachers get the PD they actually need when they need it. Winner of multiple ed-tech awards, 2gnoMe is a cloud-based platform that clarifies who needs what kind of learning, unifies all teachers and PD in one place and personalizes PD learning based on individual strengths and areas of growth. 2gnoMe is content-neutral: we partner with established educational experts to scale their frameworks and training, and help system-level leaders support every teacher, at scale, and aligned to the framework or set of standards they use or need (e.g., Danielson Framework for Teaching, NSQ Online Teaching standards, ISTE).

Data-driven instruction based on learning science
December 6, 2022
3:00 pm ET
Join NYSCATE Corporate Council member Carnegie Learning for this engaging hour-long webinar on how to turn data into improved student learning outcomes.
This webinar will describe how principles of how people learn are embedded into intelligent, adaptive mathematics software. In order to learn and complete complex tasks, the brain breaks those tasks into smaller skills (sometimes called “knowledge components”), and practice on those knowledge components drives learning. This presentation will describe how advanced technology allows us to track and understand student learning on each of these knowledge components and to provide feedback so that each student can master mathematics in a way that makes sense to them.
