| November 2007 Dear Colleague: For 31 years, the Science Council of New York City has been in the forefront of offering quality professional development for the science educator. No Child Left Behind legislation still dominates teacher certification and professional development. Annual Yearly Progress will kick in with a third assessment, which in NYS might include science. These assessments are now found at all levels, elementary (ELS), intermediate (ILS) and commencement (Regents) necessitating that all science educators learn new and/or different techniques to teach science content, inquiry and pedagogical skills. Using the NSTA model, we are requesting workshops to align to these STRANDS: Science Content, Inquiry Skills or General Pedagogical Skills for Science Teaching. and Science Leadership. Please consider presenting at the 31st ANNUAL SCONYC CONFERENCE on Saturday, April 12, 2008 at Stuyvesant High School. And our policy is that workshop presenters do not pay a registration fee. Lunch is provided on site for a nominal fee. Workshop sessions are arranged with lead-time, which provides the presenter with greater flexibility in time for preparation and/or cleanup and visits to other conference activities. Are you hesitant about presenting? You might want to consider working with another person. |
