Model Schools/School Improvement
The Model Schools and School Improvement CO-SERs provide a variety of curriculum and instructional activities for districts.
The activities include staff and curriculum development surrounding the New York State Learning Standards. Examples include but are not limited to:
- instructional technology
- curriculum mapping
- CDEP planning
- instructional technology planning
- grade 3-8 scoring and mentor training
Access to regional workshops are provided through participation in the base cost of these CO-SERs (additional costs for supplies may be applied). In addition, school districts have the option of purchasing in-district support from a BOCES professional staff developer. In-district support is purchased in groups of 10 days and are scheduled individually with a staff developer.
Workshops with joint participation by two or more districts generate BOCES state aid on the cost of the program including consultants, substitute teachers, stipends and travel.
