  • Not a Program—A Practice: The Science of Reading in Action

    Not a Program—A Practice: The Science of Reading in Action
    Mar 2 2026
    Join in for a dynamic conversation with Sarah Cartmill, Lindsay Simpson, and Brooke Neamon, as we explore how SUNY New Paltz literacy cohorts and LETRS training are transforming reading instruction across the CA region. In this episode, you’ll hear real stories from teachers and administrators, collected by Brooke Neamon, about how deepening their understanding of the Science of Reading is reshaping classroom practice—and leadership decisions. We break down the Big 5, highlight why comprehension is the ultimate outcome, and connect this work to the Portrait of a Graduate and CRSE principles. A fast-paced episode filled with practical insights, regional voices, and a clear look at what effective literacy instruction looks like today.

  • Student Engagement: eSports in Schools

    Student Engagement: eSports in Schools
    Feb 2 2026

    This episode takes listeners inside a regional eSports tournament held on Friday, December 12 at Jamestown Community College, where students from various districts came together to compete, collaborate, and connect. Through interviews with students and coaches, the episode explores how eSports supports key Portrait of a Graduate competencies such as communication, collaboration, critical and creative thinking, adaptability, and citizenship. It also highlights how eSports creates a powerful sense of belonging for students who may not traditionally participate in athletics or other extracurricular activities and how experiences like this extend learning beyond the classroom to help students build confidence and interpersonal skills. This conversation emphasizes that eSports is not just about competition, but about preparing students to thrive in school, careers, and life. For more information about regional eSports opportunities or other similar student program events, contact Karen Insley, Student Programs Program Manager at CA BOCES, at karen_insley@caboces.org
