MMSTLC NEWS & EVENTS

And still more presentations

NSTA Conference Presentations

March is conference month for educators.  And, it certainly is for MMSTLC.  The presentations continue at the National Science Teacher Association Annual Convention in Philadelphia, PA, from March 18-21. These sessions highlight two specific sets of resources and activities that came out of the MMSTLC Science Leadership development efforts.  The first, Investigate the State, is a combination professional development/inquiry-based curriculum program that utilizes online tools to encourage collaboration among educators and classrooms on large scale scientific investigations, such as water quality in a watershed, or regional air quality concerns.  You can learn more about this program at the presentation, or by wandering over to our “sister” site – investigatethestate.org.

The second session focuses on the writing strategies that were the focus of many discussions and activities focusing on assessment practices.  This session is one of the featured sessions at the conference.  We would love to have you attend, so please check out the NSTA site to register, and see the session times for our presentations below:
