Learning to Lead! Virtual Summer Camp for Teachers!

July 1-3, 2025 | 5:00-7:30pm ET, via Zoom (three evening series!)

Led by Chris Resch and Greg Benedis Grab

Interested in becoming a workshop leader? Join us this summer to gain strategies on how to transform your classroom joys and expertise, into workshops for your peers!

Mentoring Our New Teacher-Leaders

Our new Learning to Lead evening series is built on several years of our New Leader Huddles series, led by seasoned leaders who mentor and facilitate discussion with a cohort of aspiring teacher-leaders each year, helping to distill their joys and expertise in teaching into professional learning strategies, leader moves and new workshop agendas. The workshop is a reflective space where ideas and approaches can be considered, modified and refined to provide a better workshop experience.

“We work closely with aspiring workshop leaders to support them in developing effective professional learning strategies and craft workshop offerings that will be meaningful to the community. During the sessions new leaders share previous workshop experiences, learn about research on adult learning, engage in hands-on/minds-on activities to develop their thinking, and workshop their workshop ideas and plans collaboratively.” – Greg Benedis Grab.

Teachers in our community contribute to working groups and workshops, and encounter many opportunities to facilitate discussions and grow ideas for their own workshop. Dedicated, highly experienced leaders, embedded in the NYC teaching community, have the opportunity to create real, relevant change and support the growth of their peers. Teachers interested in continuing the journey are invited to work closely and co-lead with a mentor leader.

Please note: We take screenshots, 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 – and to support future teacher leaders. 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 before the workshop starts. For in-person workshops, 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.
