Description
EcoSTEM Working Group! (All Grades)
Co-Facilitated by: Yadana Desmond and YOU!
Are you teaching climate science in your classroom? Growing seedlings indoors or out? Want to learn more or connect with others doing the same? This fall, STEMteachersNYC is excited to launch an EcoSTEM Working Group! With your help and expertise, together we will showcase and share the climate and other environmental science work you are doing with your students, and explore new ways to collaborate and learn from each other!
Our first meet-up will begin with a webinar, co-hosted by Teachers College Initiative for Sustainable Futures and NYC teachers sharing their own climate-focused lessons and units. If you would like to be part of the panel please indicate in the RSVP, or email yadana@stemteachersnyc.org. The EcoSTEM working group will be a space to:
-
Share lessons and units you have developed around climate change, other local environmental issues, solutions you and your students have worked on - and cross curricular connections you have made.
-
Develop and exchange key questions and topics for student discussion and debate.
-
Share resources and develop more relevant, interdisciplinary, student-driven climate and environmental STEM curricula.
-
Build a network of colleagues to share ideas, resources, successes, and challenges of teaching EcoSTEM!
Additional topics will be chosen based on registrant suggestions. We hope that you will come ready to participate!
*Note, this workshop requires a minimum number of participants. In the event there are not enough participants, the workshop will be cancelled, and a refund will be issued.
Cost:
$5 for In-Person (Limited # of tickets!), Free for virtual attendance.

Please note: We take photographs and record video of our workshops in order to publicize a positive image of science teaching, and of STEMteachersNYC - a recognized 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. If you register, you are agreeing to be photographed and to have your voice and image video-recorded. You are also agreeing to relinquish all your rights to the photographs and video recordings.
If you do not wish to be photographed or video-recorded - you must inform us at check-in. We will take one photograph of your face so that we can erase your image if we happen to catch it by chance during the workshop, and we will do our best to avoid you. We would also appreciate your cooperation in positioning yourself at the edge of the group so as to help us avoid you.
