Preparing for NY Inspires:
Local Assessment Strategies for the Future
As districts begin preparing for NY Inspires, local assessment strategies are no longer a future consideration. They are a current priority. NY Inspires represents a shift from a system heavily reliant on Regents examinations toward one that emphasizes multiple measures of student proficiency, performance-based learning, and the New York State Portrait of a Graduate.
Please join us as we welcome Dr. Zachary Warner, who will discuss local assessment strategies and the proactive steps districts can take immediately to prepare for the
future of assessment under NY Inspires.

For many years, David has been a respected voice and tireless advocate for rural schools, working diligently to ensure that the unique needs and challenges of rural communities are recognized and addressed. Through his leadership, expertise, and unwavering commitment to public education, he has helped shape conversations and policies that have impacted students, educators, and school districts across New York State.
This special presentation offers a unique opportunity to hear David's perspectives on the current educational landscape, reflect on the progress made for rural schools during his distinguished career, and gain valuable insight into the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead. His experience, knowledge, and passion for serving rural communities have made him a trusted resource and an influential leader throughout the education community.
As David prepares to conclude this remarkable chapter of service, we invite you to join us in celebrating his many contributions to rural education. Don't miss this chance to hear from one of New York's most dedicated advocates for public schools, thank him for his years of leadership, and wish him all the best in his well-earned retirement!
