November & December 2019
Chemistry Workshop - Cohort 2
This includes physical science teachers who may have a semester that is an introduction to chemistry and STEM specialists. The agenda will focus on aligning NGSS standards to what you are covering in class. It will also be a chance to compare notes with colleagues. If you are new to teaching chemistry, this might also be a chance to speak to those who have done it for years. Consider this the opportunity to brainstorm ideas with colleagues you would otherwise not have the chance to work with.
If you are not a chemistry or physical science teacher specifically and would like to attend, you are more than welcome to!

GFEC and Secondary ELA Leadership Team Meetings
No matter where students’ lives lead after graduation, one of the most essential tools we can teach them is how to comprehend, analyze, be adaptive thinkers and communicators who can transfer their learning to new tasks and settings. Participants will leave with engaging classroom activities to help students at all levels read, write, listen, speak, and think rhetorically. Learn how to help students move beyond superficial responses to texts so they can be college-ready, career-ready, and ready for the challenges of the world.
