About the Workshop

The Environmental Science for the Modern World (HS) workshop will explore active learning strategies for deepening understanding of crucial environmental and sustainability science concepts that will empower students. 

Participants will engage in thought-provoking, classroom-tested, hands-on activities and discussions throughout the week. They will spend time observing instruction from the point of view of a student (“student-mode”), and unpacking those experiences in “teacher-mode” to better understand how educators can empower students.  Participants will walk away with cutting-edge, standards-aligned content, helping to answer, ‘What should we teach students?” as well as a new tool kit of teacher moves to help answer, “How should we teach students?” Join a growing community of front-line educators who understand the importance of truth, action, and resilience in the modern world.

Interested in an Invoice/Purchase Order Request?

Teachers! Ask your school to pay for your ticket! All the school needs to do is send us a Purchase Order (PO). Fill out our PO/Invoice survey and we will prepare you an invoice for you to submit to your school/district. Or just copy and paste the information above and let them know the workshop you want to attend. Don’t be afraid to ask. There’s always a chance the money will be available and they’ll say yes, but if you don’t ask, there’s no chance at all.

Members find out about workshops first and can sign up before others.

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.
