Foundations in Student-Centered, Models-Based High School Physics (HS)

STEMteachersNYC is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that cultivates excellence in STEM teaching and promotes deep understanding and success for students through innovative, teacher-led professional development. Our weekend workshops for teachers are offered during the school year and multi-week workshop intensives occur in the summer. We welcome and encourage teachers from across the globe, the US, and the local New York City area!STEMteachersNYC is registered as a Continuing Teacher and Leader Education (CTLE) provider with the New York State Education Department.STEMteachersNYC delivers professional development workshops for teachers, by teachers, about teaching, since 2011. STEM Teachers of New York City, Inc. (STEMteachersNYC) is an approved CTLE Sponsor (ID#23385), and vendor for the New York City Department of Education (#STE-068881); MTAC Qualified. Pre-service teachers may attend for free.STEMteachersNYC was founded in the summer of 2011 by a group of educators as a teacher-led study, support, and professional development group.  STEMteachersNYC membership has grown at over 30% per year and now stands at over 1,600 members. STEMteachersNYC is an affiliate of the American Modeling Teachers Association.

Leaders: Paul FefferDates: Week 1: July 18-22, 2022 (9:00-3:00pm EDT)Week 2: July 25-29, 2022 (9:00-3:00pm EDT)NOTE: Workshop takes place in-person at Trinity School, W91st in Manhattan.Participants are welcome to register for Week 1 only OR both Weeks 1 and 2 together. Week 1 will include the pedagogy introduction, scientific methods, 1-D kinematics, and Newton's Laws, and Week 2 will cover 2-D kinematics, energy, and momentum.Foundations in Student-Centered, Models-Based Mechanics for High School Physics (HS)About the Workshop:Active and pre-service physics teachers, join us this summer to develop your skills and learn ways to engage your students in a student-centered, model-based, curricular approach that will deepen their understanding of core physics concepts. As a participant, you will observe instruction from a student perspective ("student mode") as you conduct lab activities that are central to each unit and which are ready for your own classroom. Alternating between student- and teacher-mode, we will discuss the pedagogical rationale behind each activity, and strategies for adapting to various student populations and classroom resources. This workshop will focus on fundamental physics mechanics concepts including kinematics (constant velocity and uniform acceleration), dynamics (Newton's Laws), circular motion, and the conserved quantities momentum and energy. The models we will navigate are comprised of descriptive, diagrammatic, graphical, and algebraic representations, which are developed through observation, experimentation, and reflection, and "deployed" through prediction and verification. The constructivist process we will explore encourages student teamwork and active, productive discussion, not just with the teacher, but with fellow classmates. If you are a pre-service physics teacher, this workshop will help you prepare for your first year teaching an algebra-based intro physics course. If you are an experienced physics teacher accustomed to a traditional textbook/lecture approach, this workshop may give you new ideas for presenting concepts and encouraging a hands-on, collaborative, classroom culture. The materials and techniques in this workshop are applicable to the AP Physics 1 curriculum. The activities emphasize depth over breadth, however, so they do not span the full range topics in the Regents Physics curriculum.During this workshop, you will receive a copy of classroom-ready curriculum materials that you can modify to your needs and an extensive list of other freely available curriculum resources and ideas.Cost: (Limited # of tickets!)Early Bird $275-550Regular Teacher Price $350-700School Price $500-1000STEMteachersNYC delivers professional development workshops for teachers, by teachers, about teaching, since 2011.
