SUMMARY:Biology Regents Bootcamp
DESCRIPTION:Refine your understanding of the Biology Regents. Swap ideas and sharpen what works. Elevate and inspire your students!\n\n\nKEY INFORMATION\n\nLOCATION: City College of NY\, North Academic Center (NAC) building at 137th and Convent Ave.\, Manhattan\nDATES & TIMES: 4-day workshop\, from Monday\, July 20 – Thursday\, July 23\, 2026\, 9am – 3pm daily.\nLED BY: Chris Resch\nCTLE AVAILABLE: 24\nTHIS WORKSHOP IS FOR: Regents Biology teachers looking to experience and discuss implementation of the 3 state-required labs.\n\nWORKSHOP DESCRIPTION\nLife Science doesn’t have to be about memorization. It’s a story of interconnected models—systems interacting across scales to explain how life works. With NGSS and updated NYS Regents standards pushing toward conceptual\, model-based learning\, the real challenge isn’t just what to teach but how to teach it. \nAre you ready to refine and elevate your practice to the next level? Join us this summer for our 4-day Biology Regents Bootcamp\, a hands-on\, collaborative workshop designed for veteran and novice teachers who teach the new Regents Biology labs and curriculum. \nOver the past two years\, we have learned a lot while offering workshops about the new labs. This summer we are expanding and rethinking the offering\, and you can expect to: \n\nExperience all three Regents Biology investigations from the student and teachers points of view.\nShare what’s been working (and what’s not)\nBrainstorm ways to adapt the three Regents Biology labs for your students and setting\nStrengthen alignment to Regents expectations\nBuild more meaningful\, student-centered experiences\nAnalyze implementation\, troubleshoot challenges\, and co-develop strategies you can bring back to your classroom immediately.\n\nAs educators\, we are always looking to create learning experiences that truly stick – ones that are meaningful\, memorable\, and relevant for our students. Join us to explore active learning strategies that help students connect big ideas\, build lasting understandings\, and connect their lives to what they are learning. You will leave with practical ways to deepen student understanding while building a classroom that is student-centered and aligned with NGSS/NYS Regents expectations. \n \nABOUT STEMteachersNYC\nSince 2011\, STEMteachersNYC has delivered professional development workshops for teachers\, by teachers\, about teaching.

SUMMARY:Earth Science Regents Bootcamp
DESCRIPTION:A 4-day workshop aiming to help NY City/State Earth Science Regents teachers work within the new lab and exam structures.\n\n\nKEY INFORMATION\n\nLOCATION: CUNY City College of NY campus in the North Academic Center building\, located at 137th St. and Amsterdam Ave.\, Manhattan\nDATE & TIME: Tuesday\, July 21 – Friday\, July 24\, 2026\, 9am – 3pm daily.\nLED BY: Kristina Coker and Liza Blackman (bios below)\nCTLE AVAILABLE: 24\nTHIS WORKSHOP IS FOR: NY Earth Science Regents teachers\n\nWORKSHOP DESCRIPTION\nNow that the revised NY State Earth Science Regents labs and exam have been in place for two school years\, with three new labs and a new literacy component for the exam\, it’s time to assess and reflect on how you can best prepare your students and utilize existing and new resources. This bootcamp-style workshop is designed to help you improve your teaching and understanding of these changes. Building on strategies\, structures\, and lessons learned\, we will explore active learning strategies to deepen your students’ understanding of crucial conceptual models and help you effectively implement a student-centered\, NGSS and NYS Regents-aligned approach tailored to physical science education. \nLed by expert and experienced Earth Science teachers\, you’ll walk away with ideas\, overviews\, specific actionable strategies\, field trip ideas\, and more! We are revising our lab workshops with the following in mind over 4 days this summer: \n\nDay 1 will focus on the three science investigations. We will start with an overview of the labs and have stations set up with the materials for all 3. Then we look at how we can implement the labs to be most successful in our classroom spaces.\nDay 2 will focus on problems of practice\, or grievances. We will be focusing on identifying areas that need some troubleshooting for the investigations\, curriculum development and implementation\, new literacy demands\, and any other topics you would like to discuss.\nDay 3 will focus on building solutions to our grievances. We will use the time to discuss solutions and have time to plan for their implementation. We will discuss curriculum pacing\, utilizing tools to support us in generating cluster question and utilizing literacy strategies in our classrooms to prepare our students for the increased literacy demands of the exam.\nDay 4 will focus on taking ourselves on a field trip to have a learning experience outside the classroom environment. We will think about how this trip connects to our curriculum and can be used to enrich our students’ learning. Details to come.\n\nJoin us and help your students make the most of exciting opportunities to learn about the Earth\, Earth systems\, the Solar System\, and more! \n \nWORKSHOP LEADERS\nKristina Coker is going into her 10th year of teaching Earth Science at Midwood High School in Brooklyn.
