Add all Events to iCal or Outlook
Calling all teachers! Get ready to embark on an exciting journey with us as we dive into the world of agriculture and food production! We're bringing together top educators from across the nation to deliver a series of free, livestream events that explore how agriculture can be used as a real-world lens for teaching science.
Our virtual workshop series will feature field experts who will share their firsthand experiences and stories, and guide us through anchoring phenomena that will help students connect concepts across disciplines and grade levels.
Join us for an interactive and engaging professional learning experience that will equip you with the skills and knowledge to navigate the shifts in practice laid out by Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). Together, we'll explore three-dimensional learning, reflect on instructional shifts, and deepen our understanding of phenomena routines.
Don't miss out on this opportunity to learn, grow, and have fun with a community of passionate educators!
