College & Career Readiness Benchmark:
Academic & Personal Behaviors
ACADEMIC & PERSONAL BEHAVIORS
This domain includes the learning habits and skills that support academic readiness
and includes non-cognitive, socio-emotional qualities that support resiliency, and
college/career persistence.
Persistence
Persistence is needed to support long-term
commitment to educational goals through a
positive mindset and self-efficacy.
Engagement
Engagement supports achievement in school by
increasing students' social-emotional connection
to the environment and their social confidence.
Work Habits/
Organizational Skills
Strong work habits and organizational skills
support successful navigation of college and
careers.
Communication/
Collaboration Skills
Communication and collaboration are essential
skills in successful college and career transitions.
Self-Regulation
Self-regulation is key to resiliency. Students must
develop coping skills, self-control, and confidence
to work through challenges as well as
metacognitive skills.

This year, we have been focusing on College and
Career Readiness Benchmarks. These benchmarks
define the qualities and achievements that students
need to complete in order to be ready to enroll,
persist, and succeed in college, postsecondary
training opportunities, and gain entry into meaningful
careers. To galvanize our collective efforts toward a
shared goal, the DOE has identified four domains
of student development that are essential to
success after graduation: Common Core Learning
Standards, Academic and Personal Behaviors,
Academic Programming, and College and
Career Access. Students need support to master
each of these domains.
La! has been providing communication in 3
of these domains — Common Core Learning
1
Standards,
Academic Programming, and College
and Career Access — we would like to introduce
you to the 4th domain: Academic and Personal
Behaviors. Academic & Personal Behaviors define
a set of learning habits and skills that support
academic readiness and includes non-cognitive,
socio-emotional indicators that support resiliency
and college/career persistence, specifically: work
habits and organizational skills, collaboration and
communication skills, persistence, self-regulation,
and social engagement. In the chart on the left you
will see examples of the necessary learning habits
and skills.

2015 SPARK Peer Leader
Applications Available
Peer Leaders are an integral
component of the SPARK
PROGRAM @ La!. They serve
as academic and social role models for new and prospective
students. They exert a powerful influence on the development
and behaviors of their peers. Students in this role will plan
and carry out large and small group facilitations, school events
and awareness campaigns with an emphasis on the prevention
of risky behavior. PL’s will learn and implement leadership and
communication skills, while motivating those around them. PL’s
work to develop good rapport with new students, and they are
often the first member of a support team to whom new and
prospective students confide their fears and uncertainties.

The DOE’s Cell Phone Policy
As many of you have read in the DOE press
release dated January 7, 2015, the cell phone
ban is likely to be lifted in March. Chancellor
Farina and Mayor De Blasio stated, “The reform
announced today lifts the ban, and, if approved
by the Panel for Educational Policy in February,
will take effect in all schools on March 2.”
Keep your kids safe. Get their seasonal flu vaccines every year.
Seasonal Flu: A Guide for Parents
Is seasonal flu more serious
for kids?
Infants and young children are at a greater risk for getting seriously ill from the flu. That’s why the New York State
Department of Health recommends that all children 6 months and older get the seasonal flu vaccine.
Flu vaccine may save your
child’s life.
Most people with seasonal flu are sick for about a week, and then they feel better. But, some
people, especially young children, pregnant women, older people, and people with chronic health
problems can get very sick. Some can even die.
A flu vaccine is the best way to protect your child from seasonal flu. It is recommended for
everyone 6 months and older.
What is seasonal flu?
The flu, or influenza, is an infection of the nose, throat, and lungs. The flu can spread from person
to person.
Flu shot or nasal-spray
vaccine?

Because children under 6 months can’t be vaccinated, they rely on those around them to get vaccinated.

•Keeptheirhandsawayfromtheirface,and
•Covercoughsandsneezestoprotectothers.
What are signs of the flu?
The flu comes on suddenly. Most people with the flu feel very tired and have a high fever,
headache, dry cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, and sore muscles. Some people, especially
children, may also have stomach problems and diarrhea. The cough can last two or more weeks.
How does the flu spread?
People who have the flu usually cough, sneeze, and have a runny nose. The droplets in a cough,
sneeze or runny nose contain the flu virus. Other people can get the flu by breathing in these
droplets or by getting them in their nose or mouth.
Last year, teachers, parents, and students
held detailed discussions with Dr. Mars, and
a school-wide Bring Your Own Device (BYOD)
policy was created in anticipation of the cell
phone ban being lifted. (This policy is on page
39 of the Student Handbook.)
We will review our BYOD policy when new
regulations are passed to ensure that we are in
compliance. The deadline for implementation
is October 31, 2016.
January Regents Examinations
January Regents Exam Invitations were
distributed to students this week. An additional
way to check is that Pupil Path will show a
Regents Exam schedule for Period 13.
Not showing up to take your scheduled Regents
exam will result in an ABS on your transcript.
This mark cannot be removed. Please speak
with your guidance counselor if you have a
question or concern.
Identifying Symptoms on Excuse Notes
We ask that each parent be as specific as
possible when listing the reason for the
student’s absence.
Attendance and College Visits
If you have visited colleges this semester,
please fill out and submit the School Audition/
Visit Form at LaGuardiaHS.org. We will send
home “jeopardy to graduation” letters to the
parent or guardian of any student with less
than 90% attendance. (At this point, that
would mean nine days or more of absence.)
College visits do not count toward this number.
There’s a Ticket for That!

Part 4 in a series of 9
Universal Design of Learning
We are continuing to explore ways to address different learners and to reduce barriers to learning by
talking about the UDL practice of Provide Options for Physical Action (part of Principle 2: Providing Multiple
Means of Action and Expression). It is important to offer materials with which all learners can interact in
an engaging way, like offering alternatives to marking answers with pen and pencil.
How will this look in the classroom?
Teachers can use clickers or Classroom Response Systems. Teachers can evaluate class comprehension or
retention of complex material much more effective by engaging the whole class in an interactive learning
experience that involve polling students using a student response clicker system. This instant feedback
enables instructors to tailor lectures to their students’ needs by indicating whether to move forward or
review material. It is used as follows:
1. The teacher poses a multiple-choice question
2. Each student submits an answer to the question using a handheld transmitter (a “clicker”) that beams
a radio-frequency signal to a receiver attached to the teacher’s computer.
3. Software on the teacher’s computer collects the students’ answers and produces a bar chart showing
how many students chose each of the answer choices.
4. The teacher makes “on the fly” instructional choices in response to the bar chart by, for example,
leading students in a discussion of the merits of each answer choice or asking students to discuss the
question in small groups.
Mainly any kind of questions can be asked
when working with clickers. The most
popular are Recall Questions although
they rarely generate discussion and
don’t require higher-order thinking skills.
Conceptual Understanding Questions
can be used with clickers as well,
if they involve answers based on
common student misconceptions.
Questions asking students to classify
examples, match characteristics with
concepts, select the best explanation for
a concept, or translate among different
ways of representing an idea can help the
teacher identify and address students’
misconceptions. Application Questions:
These questions require students to
apply their knowledge and understanding
to particular situations and contexts.
Application questions often ask students
to make a decision or choice in a given
scenario, connect course content to “realworld” situations, implement procedures
or techniques, or predict the outcome of
experiments or even their peers’ response
to a subsequent question. Critical
Thinking Questions: These questions
operate at the higher levels of Bloom’s
Taxonomy, requiring students to analyze
relationships among multiple concepts
or make evaluations based on particular
criteria. Often these questions are “onebest-answer questions,” questions that
include multiple answer choices that have
merit. Students are asked to select the
one best answer from these choices. Onebest-answer questions aren’t appropriate
for exams, but they can be very effective
in preparing students to engage in class
discussions about the reasons behind
their choice. (read more at: http://

Below is an example of using clickers in a
math class (from Teaching Mathematics
with Classroom Voting: With and Without
Clickers, Kelly Cline and Holly Zullo,
2011).
have been able to gain some valuable discussion
when asking students why they may have
voted for one of the other four solutions.
Based on homework problems students may
have done, they may become locked in to
thinking that all trigonometric questions focus
on the domain [0, ∏]. At the same time, a
student that might have answered that there
is only one angle that makes this equation
true, may have their eyes opened to the fact
that not everything is restricted to simply the
first quadrant. This allows for some good
discussion of thinking about the trigonometric
situation strictly in terms of right triangles, or
if students should expand their thinking into a
unit circle convention. It is interesting to find
that some students thinking about the unit
circle convention might believe that if an answer
is possible, it should be an even number of
solutions, since cosine and sine are equal to one
another at exactly two points on the unit circle.
Thus it is important to facilitate conversation
where students will come to a conclusion that
the domain could be limited to simply half of a
revolution around the unit circle.
The question asks the students when two
trigonometric functions are equal to one
another. What the question does not provide is
a specified domain. The specified domain plays
an important role with trigonometric equations
due to their periodic nature. This is done
intentionally so we are able to gain a sense
of how students are able to handle a situation
which could present them with a different
number of potential solutions, based on the
modification of the domain.
This is a clicker question where each answer
gets a share of the students’ votes. It is
important to point out to students that their
answer cold be correct, based on how we define
the domain of the problem. This reinforces the
importance of communication to the student,
and how defining a problem for someone
to solve is important. Without the correct
parameters of the problem, it is easy to answer
a different question than the one posing the
question may have intended.
Clicker Question #3
For how many angles of x, does cos x = sin x
a) 1
b) 2
c) 3
d) 4
e) Not enough information is provided
Because no domain is specified, the best answer
would probably be that there are an infinite
number of angles for which these functions
are equal. Of the answers provided, the best
answer is e. However, the purpose of the
question is to provoke thought and dialogue,
and by using the question as structured we

in every classroom — those aspects of teaching that are common across grades, disciplines, and students’
backgrounds. For more information, please visit: http://schools.nyc.gov/NR/rdonlyres/C74CD2AB-B7254CE9-B4ED-3F9EA71F6BDB/0/APBExamplesandDanielsonCrosswalkv4.pdf

Instructional
Students focus on both content and skills
as outlined by the Social Studies Practices
and Common Core Learning Standards. By
grappling with complex content, students
can accomplish a higher level of literacy.
Being literate in Social Studies means
understanding the conventions by which
documents within the Social Studies
disciplines are written, including the
integration of primary sources, images,
maps, data, and artifacts.
Social Studies helps students understand,
respect and appreciate the commonalities
and differences that give the U.S.
character and identity. The complexities of
history can only be fully understood within
an appreciation and analysis of diversity,
multiple perspectives, interconnectedness,
interdependence, context and enduring
themes. The shifts to Common Core in
Social Studies include:
Focus on Conceptual Understandings
•
Increased emphasis on patterns, themes
and concepts that cut across place and time.
Decreased emphasis on rote memorization.
Evidence-based Argumentation
•
Students learn to utilize primary and secondary
sources by placing them in context, gathering
information and evidence in order to formulate a
coherent argument.
Dual Intensity
•
Students focus on both content and skills as
outlined by the Social Studies Practices and
Common Core Learning Standards.
A. Gathering, Interpreting, and Using Evidence
1. Define and frame questions about events and the world in which we live, form hypotheses as potential answers to these
questions, use evidence to answer these questions, and consider and analyze counter-hypotheses.
2. Identify, describe, and evaluate evidence about events from diverse sources (including written documents, works of art,
photographs, charts and graphs, artifacts, oral traditions, and other primary and secondary sources).
3. Analyze evidence in terms of content, authorship, point of view, bias, purpose, format, and audience.
4. Describe, analyze, and evaluate arguments of others.
5. Make inferences and draw conclusions from evidence.
6. Deconstruct and construct plausible and persuasive arguments, using evidence.
7. Create meaningful and persuasive understandings of the past by fusing disparate and relevant evidence from primary and
secondary sources and drawing connections to the present.
B. Chronological Reasoning and Causation
1. Articulate how events are related chronologically to one another in time and explain the ways in which earlier ideas and events
may influence subsequent ideas and events.
2. Identify causes and effects using examples from different time periods and courses of study across several grade levels.
3. Identify, analyze, and evaluate the relationship between multiple causes and effects
4. Distinguish between long-term and immediate causes and multiple effects (time, continuity, and change).
5. Recognize, analyze, and evaluate dynamics of historical continuity and change over periods of time and investigate factors
that caused those changes over time.
6. Recognize that choice of specific periodizations favors or advantages one narrative, region, or group over another narrative,
region, or group.
7. Relate patterns of continuity and change to larger historical processes and themes.
8. Describe, analyze, evaluate, and construct models of historical periodization that historians use to categorize events.
C. Comparison and Contextualization
1. Identify similarities and differences between geographic regions across historical time periods, and relate differences in
geography to different historical events and outcomes.
2. Identify, compare, and evaluate multiple perspectives on a given historical experience.
3. Identify and compare similarities and differences between historical developments over time and in different geographical and
cultural contexts.
4. Describe, compare, and evaluate multiple historical developments (within societies; across and between societies; in various
chronological and geographical contexts).
5. Recognize the relationship between geography, economics, and history as a context for events and movements and as a
matrix of time and place.
6. Connect historical developments to specific circumstances of time and place and to broader regional, national, or global
processes and draw connections to the present (where appropriate).
D. Geographic Reasoning
1. Ask geographic questions about where places are located, why their locations are important, and how their locations are
related to the locations of other places and people.
2. Identify, describe, and evaluate the relationships between people, places, regions, and environments by using geographic tools
to place them in a spatial context.
3. Identify, analyze, and evaluate the relationship between the environment and human activities, how the physical environment
is modified by human activities, and how human activities are also influenced by Earth’s physical features and processes.
4. Recognize and interpret (at different scales) the relationships between patterns and processes.
5. Recognize and analyze how place and region influence the social, cultural, and economic characteristics of civilizations.
6. Characterize and analyze changing connections between places and regions.
E. Economics and Economics Systems
1. Use marginal benefits and marginal costs to construct an argument for or against an approach or solution to an economic
issue.
2. Analyze the ways in which incentives influence what is produced and distributed in a market system.
3. Evaluate the extent to which competition between sellers and between buyers exists in specific markets.
4. Describe concepts of property rights and rule of law as they apply to a market economy.
5. Use economic indicators to analyze the current and future state of the economy.
6. Analyze government economic policies and the effects on the national and global economy.
F. Civic Participation
1. Demonstrate respect for the rights of others in discussions and classroom debates; respectfully disagree with other viewpoints
and provide evidence for a counter-argument.
2. Participate in activities that focus on a classroom, school, community, state, or national issue or problem.

Reflection after the Financial Aid
Night Presentation
The IRS Data Retrieval Tool
The IRS Data Retrieval Tool allows students and
parents to access the IRS tax return information
needed to complete the Free Application for
Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), and transfer the
data directly into their FAFSA from the IRS Web
site.
We are thankful to Ms. Evertt from John Jay College
of Criminal Justice for presenting at our December
17 Financial Aid Night.
fafsa.gov
FAFSA = Free Application for Federal Student Aid
Financial Aid
If you are eligible to use the IRS Data Retrieval
Tool, we highly recommend using the tool for
several reasons:
You should never have to pay to complete the
application so do not use fafsa.com — use www.
fafsa.gov
• It’s the easiest way to provide your tax data.
• It’s the best way of ensuring that your FAFSA
has accurate tax information.
• You won’t need to provide a copy of your or
your parents’ tax returns to your college.
• Students or parents who are married and filed
as Married Filing Separately, are married and
filed as Head of Household, filed an amended
tax return, or filed a Puerto Rican or foreign
tax return are not eligible to use the IRS Data
Retrieval Tool, and will need to enter their tax
return information manually.
You must file the FAFSA every year while you are in
college.
Check your College’s Financial Aid Deadlines
To be considered for some aid, many schools will
have February Deadlines (so they can send out
award letters in March.) You cannot be late on the
deadlines.
View Filing the 2015 - 2016 FAFSA as Two Steps
Assuming you will not have filed your taxes in
January...
Additionally, students or parents who filed their
tax returns electronically within the last three
weeks, or through the mail within the last eleven
weeks, might need to either enter their tax return
information manually or return at a later date
to transfer their tax return information into the
FAFSA, as their tax return information might not
be available for transfer from the IRS.
Step 1: Estimate using 2013 taxes and any financial
documents you have. You want your estimate to be
realistic, but it is an estimate.
Step 1A:
Seriously.
Do your taxes as soon as you can.
Step 2: Correct (Revise) your FAFSA. Your goal is to
use FAFSA’s IRS Data Retrieval Tool. This is the most
accurate way to complete the FAFSA, and it is less
likely you will have to provide proof to your attending
college of what you filed.
Extenuating Circumstances
The FAFSA does not take
extenuating circumstances.
into
If you are eligible to use the IRS Data Retrieval
Tool, then click Link To IRS to transfer your tax
return information from the IRS Web site into
your FAFSA. (Note: If you previously transferred
your tax return information from the IRS, or you
indicate that you filed your tax return electronically
within the last three weeks or through the mail
within the last eleven weeks, then the Link To IRS
button displays once you click the “View option to
link to the IRS” hyperlink.)
consideration
But What if there are Extenuating
Circumstances?
You would need to write to the Financial Aid Office of
each school explaining your situation.
If you are ineligible or otherwise choose not to
use the IRS Data Retrieval Tool to retrieve tax
information, your college may require a copy of
your IRS Tax Return Transcript (or your parents’
IRS Tax Return Transcript, if you are a dependent
student).
What is the CSS Profile?
The CSS Profile (or Profile) is administered through
the College Board (https://student.collegeboard.org/
css-financial-aid-profile) and is required by many
schools for non-Federal Aid. Unlike the free FAFSA,
you must pay to have it sent to each college.
To find out whether or not your school requires the
CSS Profile, you must check the college’s Financial
Aid website.
Watch Videos!
Before beginning the FAFSA or the CSS Profile, take
the time to watch whatever videos they suggest,
which are accessible from their home pages. It will
save you time in the long run.
