STEMteachersNYC Summer Institute 2020

The STEMteachersNYC Summer Institute is an annual gathering of STEM teachers from around the world who are dedicated to improving their practice and sharing with peers. This summer join STEMteachersNYC for a new kind of online professional development. We have re-envisioned our face-to-face workshops, prioritizing the building of relationships and community.

Our teacher-leaders have built on the essence of what makes our face-to-face workshops so effective, have brought in tools to address the new challenges of virtual teaching, and developed synchronous and asynchronous ways to leverage the unique advantages of the online environment. Our pedagogy-rich workshops dive deeply into topics which have immediate practical use in your planning and classroom teaching. Come learn how to integrate online engagement tools with pedagogical content knowledge using the newest, most relevant online instructional resources.
