The pandemic has left us to figure out the details of teaching virtually and/or in-person on our own, often in silos. Science in particular has challenges that other subjects do not have, like using materials to carry out investigations in small, collaborative groups. This virtual panel is an opportunity for K-8 teachers to break through […]
As students return to school, many of them will come with anxieties and fears which will impact their learning. Now more than ever, teachers need to attend to the social emotional needs of their students. Students will need a repertoire of tools to persist in rigorous lessons and to participate in meaningful math conversations

We often give engaging, complex problems to our students, and they aren’t sure where to begin. Learn strategies to get students to ask themselves questions that will engage them in doing mathematics, even if the solution is not in sight
Discover how to encourage, grow, and develop students to be self-identifying, STEM capable learners. We will look through our STEMpact Quality Integration Rubric lens, to see how classroom culture and climate, and teacher talk/moves impacts student accessibility and engagement. We will share strategies to recognize brilliance in all learners, create safe environments for questioning, and […]

Join PLTW on Dec. 8th for Cybersecurity Connecting Students to Opportunity, a virtual event, where we will discuss the need for all students to have access to computer science education and career opportunities by going beyond coding and programming to applications of computational thinking and related skills sets that are crucial for empowering all students […]
Exploring Opposites: Using Music and Movement to teach Science and Math with The Lion and the Mouse. Leverage the power of music to engage young students in learning math, science, and more! This year’s workshop uses the story of The Lion and the Mouse as the springboard for incorporating music into teaching critical concepts. We’ll […]
This session will focus on the basics of teaching coding to students of all ages and exposure levels. We will share engaging activities from teaching binary code to early elementary students, to writing lines of code across grade levels. Learn to help students discover the mystery behind the curtain that is their digital screen.
