Presenter:  Nancy Beiner

Original webinar date & time:  Thursday, December 19th, 2024, 3:30-4:30pm

1 hour of CTLE credit offered.

The Office of Bilingual Education and World Languages (OBEWL) of the New York State Education Department (NYSED) presents this last webinar in its 2024 NYSSB Professional Learning Series, The NYSSB Culminating Project: A Yearlong Process.  This webinar is offered free of charge for educators and administrators working and studying in New York State educational institutions.

Webinar description:  This webinar will focus on the implementation of the culminating project into the World Language classroom. Participants will learn a school's journey into creating an equitable process. Participants will learn how to integrate the Seal of Biliteracy process and goals into their lessons by using the World Language Thematic units and Modes of communications to achieve the goals of both Checkpoint C courses and the Seal of Biliteracy. Specific examples will be provided and explained. If time allows, hands-on activities will allow teachers to begin to implement this model immediately in their classroom.

Post-assessments  (Coming soon!)

To receive a certificate of completion (including a CTLE certificate), NYS educators must view the recording of the webinar (see link above) in its entirety and then answer at least seven out of ten questions correctly on the post assessment.  If the minimum required score (7 out of 10) is achieved, the educator will receive a certificate via email within about 24 hours.  For the convenience of our NYSSB educators, there are multiple versions of the post assessment available, should the required score not be achieved on the first attempt.  Educators may take each version of the post assessment once.

Important notes:

  1. Educators may take each version of the post assessment once.  Credit will not be given for taking a single version of the post assessment more than once. 
  2. Credit will not be given for more than one passing score on any of the post assessments for a webinar (listed below) in a single academic year.  
  3. Educators may receive credit for viewing the webinar recording and passing a post assessment once in each academic year and are encouraged to take a different version of the post assessment on a yearly basis to review and test their knowledge of the webinar's content. 
  4. It is the responsibility of the individual educator to keep track of the information on the professional learning they complete each year, including the number of CTLE hours.
  5. Questions about this webinar or the post assessments, should be directed to our office at (518) 473-7505 or nyssb@nysed.gov(link sends e-mail).
