This workshop will build on strategies and structures that worked well for out Life Science series last year\, and explores active learning strategies for deepening your student’s understanding of crucial conceptual models and help you effectively implement a student-centered\, NGSS and NYS Regents-aligned approach tailored to physical science education. To do this\, you will engage with the required experiments and activities designed to help students build a critical understanding of these models. \nOn December 7th\, we will run the Structures and Properties of Matter: The Fast and the Fragrant – Evaporation and Intermolecular Forces (PE: HS-PS1-3) lab. (Keep an eye out for a workshop later this school year on the third lab\, Just a Drop.) \nYou will work in both “student mode” and “teacher mode” so you can experience the lab through both lenses\, and add practical tools to your teacher toolbox. We will include structured discussions about the new changes in the New York State Regents curriculum and test\, strategies for accommodating district-specific curricular requirements\, various student populations\, laboratory resources\, and more. \nWe welcome all teachers and administrators\, both new and experienced\, to join us for this engaging workshop! \n \nWORKSHOP LEADERS\nKara Luce has been a teacher for 20+ years\, teaching in a variety of settings in multiple states. While she has taught everything from 7th grade math to honors Physics\, the one constant has always been chemistry. Kara has been working with and training educators in the NGSS standards since 2013\, and has been a part of STEMteachersNYC since moving to the tri-state area in 2017. \nSabrina Alkayfee has been teaching high school chemistry since 2019 at the Bronx River High School\, a Title I school in District 8. She has also taught Living Environment\, Forensics and Biology\, and is teaching in the district she grew up in (and can’t image herself anywhere else!). She considers herself a non-traditional teacher\, meaning that teaching chose her\, having majored in Chemistry at SUNY College at Old Westbury\, and receiving her Master’s in Education (Chemistry 7-12) from St. John’s University. She is of Jamaican descent\, the biological mom of one\, and has fostered many children over the years (including one presently). Sabrina enjoys volunteering\, weight lifting\, and learning more about others\, and is the LGBTQ+ liaison and club advisor at her school. \n \nABOUT STEMteachersNYC\nSince 2011\, STEMteachersNYC has delivered professional development workshops for teachers\, by teachers\, about teaching.

Medications and procedures do exist\, but disease management strategies are even more effective if we understand the individual\, social\, and environmental factors that drive patterns of parasitic infection in wild animal populations. Parasites may also have affected human and primate evolution\, which is important to understand when developing multispecies strategies.\n \n \n Megan’s research examines these factors in wild Costa Rican capuchin monkeys and will talk about the genetic and microscopic techniques she uses to determine how\, and why\, parasitic infections are acquired and spread. Join us and learn about field and lab techniques\, important infectious disease strategies\, and recent updates and findings that you can bring back to your students!\n \n \n \n \n \n About the Speaker\n \n \n Megan Henriquez\, PhD (she/her) is a PRODiG+ (pronounced prodigy plus) postdoctoral fellow in biology at Farmingdale State College where she studies the gastrointestinal parasites of wild Costa Rican capuchin monkeys. She pairs microscopy and genetics to explore what factors contribute to the acquisition and transmission of biologically important parasites\, like tapeworms and lungworms. Her local research and outreach empowers NYC youth to appreciate and ask questions about the nature all around them in the urban jungle.\n \n \n \n\n \n \n\n \n \n Register for this Free Event\n \n \n \n Register Now on Zoom\n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n About the SNIPPETS Series\n \n SNIPPETS (STEM News\, Innovation\, and Professional Practice – Educator and Teacher Series) is a chance for STEMteachersNYC members to meet and talk with professional researchers\, scientists\, technicians\, and others involved in current research and development projects. Think of it as part seminar series and part current events. Learn a little (a snippet\, if you viewill!) about exciting people and projects that you may then share with your students\, colleagues\, friends/family\, or that you may just ponder and revel in on your own.\n \n \n When inviting speakers\, we are aiming for diversity in fields\, backgrounds\, educational and employment levels to represent the full spectrum of professionals. Presentations will be short\, and plenty of Q&A time will be available. And importantly\, attendees do not have to prepare anything - just register and show up with your inquisitive hat on.

Have you been in a museum and wondered how those samples got there and what they are used for? These samples are often from obscure locations\, and are collected by teams of scientists and technicians\, a very expensive process. How can the scientific community sustainably tap into existing collections and resources? \n \n \n In this talk\, Saebyul Choe will explore the behind-the-scenes of geological collections in museum and research settings\, and how these collections are used by researchers for FAIR and Open Data. Building on her time in the Earth and Planetary Sciences department’s collections at the American Museum of Natural History\, and now with Columbia’s Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory on the Geoinformatics team\, she will discuss efforts that allow and encourage future reuse of samples and data which is available to researchers\, teachers & students\, and anyone interested in local and global geologic data.\n \n \n \n \n \n About the Speaker\n \n Saebyul Choe is a data curator working with the geoinformatics team at Columbia University’s LDEO\, focused on open and FAIR (Findable\, Accessible\, Interoperable\, and Reusable) and geochemical data and physical samples. Before moving to LDEO\, Saebyul Choe was a Museum Specialist (Collections Manager) for the Petrology Collection at AMNH with seven years of experience.\n \n \n\n \n \n Resources & More Information\n \n → AMNH Earth & Planetary Science Dept.\n → AMNH Shelf Life (Videos)\n → SESAR (Sample Discoverability)\n → EarthChem\n → PetDB (Geochemical Data)\n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n Register for this Free Event\n \n \n \n Register Now on Zoom\n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n About the SNIPPETS Series\n \n SNIPPETS (STEM News\, Innovation\, and Professional Practice – Educator and Teacher Series) is a chance for STEMteachersNYC members to meet and talk with professional researchers\, scientists\, technicians\, and others involved in current research and development projects. Think of it as part seminar series and part current events. Learn a little (a snippet\, if you viewill!) about exciting people and projects that you may then share with your students\, colleagues\, friends/family\, or that you may just ponder and revel in on your own.\n \n \n When inviting speakers\, we are aiming for diversity in fields\, backgrounds\, educational and employment levels to represent the full spectrum of professionals. Presentations will be short\, and plenty of Q&A time will be available. And importantly\, attendees do not have to prepare anything – just register and show up with your inquisitive hat on.

Are you confused by the new labs and tests and how those came to be? Do you need more resources to prepare your classes? The NYSED PLDs (Performance Level Descriptions) inform the new exams and labs\, and in this 2-part workshop\, you will explore the PLDs and how to use AI tools to generate materials for your class. \nPart 1: In this fully virtual session. We’ll first explore what the PLDs are\, what the levels mean\, and how those are used at the state level in generating materials. We will go over sections and terminology\, how they are constructed\, where to find them\, and more. You will read your subject’s PLD and evaluate existing exam questions based on specific standards. Then we will explore how to upload a PLD into a generative AI alongside questions from a recent exam to create an understanding of the levels tested\, and how to level-up or -down particular questions for you to teach with. By the end\, you will have taken a deep dive into the standards\, and developed new content to incorporate immediately into your class. \nYou can stop at Part 1\, or join us Part 2. If joining for Part 2\, we will have some HW to help you explore. \nPart 2: This is a hybrid working session that you can attend in person at City College\, or online. We will focus on building out material from the PLDs\, and you will walk away with a fully formed\, 3-dimensional lab\, lesson\, or other activity\, with an AI tool to help you develop additional future activities. If you are using a prescribed curriculum (e.g. OpenSciEd\, New Visions)\, we can help you develop an AI tool to focus the learning that you want to happen in your classroom. We will work together\, and share what has been created\, and if you are able to come in person\, we will be able to help with technical issues in a fully collaborative experience. \nWORKSHOP LEADERS\nCarolina Castro is a veteran science educator with 23 years of classroom experience and currently serves as the Head of the Science Department at the Comprehensive Model School Project in the South Bronx.

We invite you to join us for a morning walk in Manhattan’s Central Park\, an urban oasis for birds as well as people. Each fall\, Central Park becomes a global birding hot spot! Thousands of colorful songbirds migrating from the tropics stop in the park each day in April\, May and early June to refuel on insects before continuing north toward their breeding grounds. \nTake a leisurely walk with us through the north end of the park. While there is never a guarantee of what we will see\, expect to see flycatchers\, warblers\, thrushes\, raptors and more\, and we will search for rarities amongst them. Learn about beahviors and how to use guides\, apps\, and your eyes and ears to identify the birds we’ll see. Rain or shine the birds will be in the park\, but if it’s raining too much we will postpone. Bring walking footwear\, binoculars\, a camera with a good telephoto lens if you have one\, and water (/coffee). After an introduction\, including slides and other classroom-friendly materials\, we will start walking and watching. Don’t be late! We will set out 9:00am sharp. \nNOTE: This is a fully outdoor event. We will pass bathrooms along the way\, but please dress appropriately\, wear sunscreen and a hat\, and bring water and a snack as needed. Please do NOT bring your dog\, as that may scare birds away.

This workshop will build on strategies and structures that worked well for out Life Science series last year\, and explores active learning strategies for deepening your student’s understanding of crucial conceptual models and help you effectively implement a student-centered\, NGSS and NYS Regents-aligned approach tailored to physical science education. To do this\, you will engage with the required experiments and activities designed to help students build a critical understanding of these models. \nOn October 5th\, we will run the Structures and Properties of Matter: Bend and Stretch – Structure and Function of Designed Materials (PE: HS-PS2-6) lab. Later workshops this year will focus on the other 2 labs. \nAdditionally\, participants will engage in both “student mode” and “teacher mode” so that they can experience these activities through both lenses and add practical tools to the teacher toolbox. We will also have structured discussions about the new changes in the New York State Regents curriculum and test\, strategies for accommodating district-specific curricular requirements\, various student populations\, laboratory resources\, and the use of “Reflective Checklists” as a way of promoting student reflection throughout a unit. \nWe welcome all teachers and administrators\, both new and experienced\, to join us for this engaging workshop! \n  \nWORKSHOP LEADERS\nPatricia (Pat) Bauer discovered the Modeling approach to teaching chemistry in 2013 through what became STEMteachersNYC\, which was transformative for her teaching. Since then\, she has worked with inspired and dedicated teachers as both a workshop participant and facilitator which allowed her to grow and understand the art and science of helping students learn. After 35 years of teaching Chemistry (AP\, IB\, Honors\, and College Prep)\, Physics (College Prep) and Physical Science in both public and private/independent high schools in various parts of the country\, Pat is now enjoying retirement and continuing to learn new ways of thinking about education. \nKara Luce has been a teacher for 20+ years\, teaching in a variety of settings in multiple states. While she has taught everything from 7th grade math to honors Physics\, the one constant has always been chemistry. Kara has been working with and training educators in the NGSS standards since 2013\, and has been a part of STEMteachersNYC since moving to the tri-state area in 2017. \n  \nABOUT STEMteachersNYC\nSince 2011\, STEMteachersNYC has delivered professional development workshops for teachers\, by teachers\, about teaching.

But does it have to be? The Life Sciences is a subject rich in anchoring models that all tie together and build off each other and create a rich story of interactions and scale! Recent shifts in pedagogical research\, NGSS/NYS Regents standards have caused movement towards this more conceptually based approach to biology education. We want to help you move your lessons and teaching there as well! \nJoin us for our upcoming workshop\, “Life Science Evolved: Teaching Life Science in the Age of NGSS.” This workshop will explore active learning strategies for deepening your student’s understanding of these crucial conceptual models and help you effectively implement a student-centered\, NGSS and NYS Regents-aligned approach to life science education. To do this\, we will engage with key experiments and activities that can help students build a critical understanding of these models. These experiments will include the three new Regents Biology labs: Structure and Function: Balancing Act – Exploring Feedback and Homeostasis\, Inheritance and Variation of Traits: Unraveling the Mystery of Lactose Intolerance\, and Interdependent Relationships in Ecosystems: For the Birds – Designing Solutions. \nAdditionally\, participants will engage in both “student mode” and “teacher mode” so that they can experience these activities through both lenses and add practical tools to the teacher toolbox. We will also have structured discussions about the new changes in the New York State Regents curriculum and test\, strategies for accommodating district-specific curricular requirements\, various student populations\, laboratory resources\, and the use of “Reflective Checklists” as a way of promoting student reflection throughout a unit. \nWe welcome all teachers and administrators\, both new and experienced\, to join us for this engaging workshop! \nSTEMteachersNYC delivers professional development workshops for teachers\, by teachers\, about teaching\, since 2011.

Bring all your colleagues with you! \n\nThe leaders worked… “as a great team to take a group of folks who were all over the place in their views on SBG to push ourselves to be better teachers.” “LOVED it! It was very well organized and seemed perfectly scaffolded for helping me as a newbie.” \n\nWhat do you want students to know and be able to do when they leave your course? How do you communicate these objectives to your students clearly? How do you design instruction and provide feedback that helps students to meet your goals? By critically examining how we assess student work\, we can improve instruction\, student attitudes towards learning\, and equity in grading. “Standards-Based Grading” provides students itemized feedback according to your course learning objectives. Students are then better able to know what they understand and what concepts need further practice and reassessment. In short\, SBG encourages a growth-mindset\, practice-until-you-succeed approach to learning. \nThe workshop guides you through an incremental adoption of SBG practices; shares sample learning standards\, assessments\, and gradebooks; and gives you structured time and feedback for tailoring these tools for your own classes. Throughout\, we will consider how to make an effective assessment strategy that is an integral part of a cyclical learning process.

Decompress\, enjoy the breezes and the views!\n\n\nTimes and Dates\nThis is an evening sail around lower lower Manhattan on Friday\, July 11. Check-in by 6:30pm. Boarding begins at 6:45pm\, and the boat leaves at 7pm sharp\, returning to the dock at 9pm. \nAhoy! On Friday\, July 11\, board the Pioneer Schooner\, operated by the South Street Seaport Museum\, and set sail with us for a sunset cruise around lower Manhattan! \nBYOB – Feel free to bring food\, and beverages. Wine and beer are allowed; liquor or other distilled spirits are not. Keep in mind it can get windy\, so plan your selection accordingly. \nCost: Discounted rate of $20 per person. STEMteachersNYC will cover the rest and will bring some drinks and snacks. \nPlease note: this is a STEMteachersNYC social event\, no CTLE hours are offered. \nAbout the Schooner PioneerPioneer was built in Pennsylvania in 1885 to carry sand and heavy cargoes along the Delaware River. Unlike almost all American cargo sloops and schooners that were made of wood\, Pioneer was constructed with a wrought iron hull because she was built in what was then the nation’s center for iron shipbuilding. Today\, she is the sole American merchant sailing vessel with an iron hull. Through offering sails aboard Pioneer\, the Seaport Museum provides an exceptional experience to the public\, catering to inquisitive students\, seasoned New Yorkers\, and eager visitors alike. By offering unique opportunity to venture out onto the water\, this remarkable vessel grants guests a new vantage point to see the city allowing guests to forge a deeper connection with New York’s maritime past and present\, illustrating exactly “Where New York Begins.” \nFor more info about the Pioneer: click here. \nTHE FOLLOWING IS FROM THE OFFICIAL FAQ.\nWhere do I check in?All guests must check in for the scheduled tour at the red tent located at the far east end of Pier 16 at Fulton and South Streets. You will be handed a boarding pass\, which is your ticket to the vessel. In order to receive a boarding pass\, you and your entire party must be present. Boarding passes are distributed only to those in your party who are physically present at the time of check-in. Please follow the times outlined below for your check-in and boarding. \nWhat is required to board?Boarding the vessel requires climbing angled gangways and a step up and over the side of the vessel from a floating dock. There will be Museum Staff and Crew available to assist you in the boarding process. \nIs there a bathroom on board?Both vessels have toilets for emergencies only. Ticket holders should use the nearby public restrooms in the Tin Building\, Pier 17\, or on the esplanade under the FDR between piers 15 and 16 prior to the start of the trip.FURTHER FAQ about the voyage including weather notes: click here \nSTEMteachersNYC delivers professional development workshops for teachers\, by teachers\, about teaching\, since 2011.

But success in these areas doesn’t depend on content knowledge alone—it requires strong executive functioning skills like planning\, organization\, working memory\, and self-regulation. \n  \n\n“Executive function weakness has a greater impact on academic success than language or intellectual ability”? Blair & Razza\, 2007; Duckworth & Seligman\, 2005; Espy et al.\, 2004. \n\n  \nThis hands-on workshop is designed to help STEM educators understand and support executive functioning as a core component of academic success. Participants will explore how to create learning environments that foster independence\, persistence\, and flexible thinking. \nWe’ll examine how a well-organized\, intentionally structured classroom—complete with clear routines\, posted agendas\, visual cues\, and scaffolded tasks—can serve as a model for students to internalize executive functioning habits over time. You’ll leave with strategies you can implement right away to help all learners thrive—whether they’re designing experiments\, building models\, or solving equations. \n  \nWhat to Expect: \n\nGain an understanding of executive functioning and its impact on learning.\nExplore learning environments that support students in their self-regulation\, persistence\, and flexible thinking.\nLearn classroom routines\, structure\, and visual supports that boost student agency and independence.\nPractice strategies to scaffold complex\, multi-step STEM tasks.\nExplore ways to build students’ organizational and time management skills.\nShare successful strategies with colleagues.\n\n  \nCreate a learning environment where all students can thrive—scientifically and cognitively! \n  \nCost: (Limited # of tickets!) \nEarly Bird $55 \nGeneral Admission\, Teacher price $70 \nGeneral Admission\, School price $100 \n  \nCurrent CUNY students with valid ID may attend summer workshops at a discount or for FREE!
