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.
