WORKSHOP APPLICATION

The Use of NGSS-based Curriculum Materials to Support Teaching of Middle School
and High School Life Sciences and Their Physical Science Prerequisites

Wed., July 10, 2019
9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.

WHERE: Teach for America - New York, 25 Broadway, 12th Fl., New York, NY 10004

You are invited to submit an application to attend this one-day FREE workshop sponsored by Project 2061, the science education initiative of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), in collaboration with Teach for America.

The workshop will take place at the Teach for America - New York office, 25 Broadway, 12th Fl., in downtown Manhattan. The office is accessible by many major subway lines, including the 1, R, and W trains at Rector Street, the 4 and 5 at Bowling Green, and the J and Z at Broad Street. There are also a number of paid parking decks in the area. During the workshop, you will learn more about Project 2061's research-based curriculum materials for middle school science and high school life science students. You will also have a chance to try out activities in the two units to see how they support the three-dimensional vision of teaching and learning in Next Generation Science Standards.

Teams of two or more middle and high school educators are encouraged to apply. A light lunch will be served. To apply to attend the workshop, please provide the following information:
