In adherence with recently updated guidance from NYSED, OHM BOCES is excited to share our new format for Part 1: Interpersonal Speaking *effective with our 2027 exams*. Participants will become informed about: the types of tasks students will perform, the requirements of the tasks, the format of the prompts, rubrics for scoring, explanations of the rubrics, and student samples to help better understand expectations and scoring.
