Start your school year by joining NYLearns’ Marla Witkowski for a free online PD session covering the standard-aligned educational resources and teacher tools of NYLearns.org.

Each webinar will take an in-depth look at different NYLearns teacher tools, standard-aligned educational resources, and how you can use these tools to build curriculum maps, create assessments, build your own teacher website, and more.

The first webinar will cover how to browse and search standards, where to find educational resources aligned to the NY State Academic and Common Core Standards, and how to search our database of over 20,000 questions from NYS Assessments and NYS Regents Exams.
