Summer Workshops

Summer Workshops allow teachers to perform activities that cover the course material for the featured topic as if they were the students exploring and becoming familiar with these concepts firsthand. Teachers actively practice ‘process of science’ skills using data-generating models, simulations of phenomena, evidence-based debates, student-designed experimentation and other applied methods that are relevant to the topic for that week.

Training in the Next Generation Science Standards, Common Core, Advanced Placement® College Board, and International Baccalaureate® science course standards is achieved by clarifying and modeling the implementation of these requirements.  After an activity, or sometimes in the middle of an activity, we may break out of the student mode to discuss teaching challenges such as grading, classroom management, pacing, note-taking and other tasks that make the implementation of a flipped classroom successful. If you are looking for professional development that will sharpen your skills and widen your repertoire of techniques that can be used to differentiate learning, identify and dispel misconceptions, and increase student involvement and critical thinking, this is the professional development for you.
