NYLearns.org is a standards-based, educational website that offers resources to enhance teaching and learning. The NYLearns.org approach to the standards is unique in the level to which alignment can occur. In NYLearns.org, all educational resources are aligned to the New York State Learning Standards at the performance indicator level.

NYLearns.org

NYLearns.org is the primary online staff development resource for the Buffalo Public Schools. It offers easy to create Teacher web pages that can act as a classroom portals. Assignments on these pages can be linked directly to the State Standards performance indicators.

In the registered environment, educators are empowered to share educational resources such as learning experiences, activities, and best practices and strategies. NYLearns.org provides registered users with the necessary tools to publish exemplary instructional content and resources. After creating their content, educators submit it to an electronic peer review process. This process is based on the peer review model created by the New York State Academy for Teaching and Learning. Once content is approved, it is published and made available to all users through NYLearns.org.

Registered users have access to a full range of Development Tools. These tools allow users to compile a personal portfolio of resources and to share those resources with others through the development of a webpage. Educators can manage their classes and post assignments, utilizing their webpage as a powerful communication tool.

In addition, information about assessment practices and tools are available. With the Assessment Builder, educators can search for questions from NYS assessments and create customized worksheets using questions that are aligned to specific performance indicators. Users have the ability to print the student assessments and the corresponding answer and scoring guides, as well as to save the assessments in their portfolio of resources.
