2- Department Chair Convening: Secondary Science Department Chairs, or Chairs Designees, are invited to 4 days of professional development as a follow-up on their Science Summer Learning. Science leaders will dive into the science and engineering practices for meaningful sense-making and to ensure success on CAST. Phenomena-based instruction, science discourse, and STEM identity are the topics of the other three sessions. The goal is to build the leaders' capacity to take their learning back to school.
3- New Science Teachers with 1-5 years of experience are invited to participate in a year-long institute to build their content and pedagogical capacity to support all students.
