Interactive Notebooks in the Science and Social Studies Classrooms
June 8, 2021
8:30am - 3:30pm
Join us for this face-to-face session as we explore the effective use of interactive notebooks in the science and social studies classrooms.
Together, participants will learn the basics of setting up interactive notebooks in the classroom as well as engage in sample lesson activities that support student learning while creating their own interactive notebook. Tips and techniques will be shared as well as ready-to-use activities and templates.
Activities will focus on grades 4-12 science and social studies TEKS connections.

STEM Academy Workshops
K-12 STEM Leadership Training
*for Administrators and Instructional Leaders only*
The Texas Education Agency is rolling out a two-day immersive state-wide professional development to prepare campus administrators and STEM leaders to shape, support, and sustain STEM initiatives within their district or campus. Participants will learn by doing, engaging directly in the instructional approaches most critical to the STEM endeavor: project-based learning, design-based challenges, and computational thinking. Working backwards from a model vision for STEM education, the session culminates with leaders collaboratively planning for real-life implementation of STEM programming.June 14-15, 2021

K-12 STEM Teacher Training
*for Teachers only*
The Texas Education Agency is rolling out a three-day state-wide professional development to prepare teachers for successful implementation of STEM instruction in their classrooms by immersing them directly in the role of STEM learner, engaging first-hand in high impact STEM practices such as project-based learning, design-based challenges, and computational thinking. To better understand the role STEM plays in education, educators will make connections between the Texas STEM framework, STEM fluency skills, and contemporary workforce demands. Most importantly, educators will begin the work of embedding these STEM strategies into what matters most - their daily work with students.June 1-3, 2021
