Attendees will also explore PBS LearningMedia, a free, online service that contains thousands of media-rich STEM resources aligned to the Next Generation Science and New York State Science Standards and earn CTLE credits.

Library of Congress Summer Institute
Here's a chance for you (or your favorite social studies teacher) to immerse yourself in the practice of teaching with primary sources from the unparalleled collections of Library of Congress this summer. Apply to attend a week-long professional development program for K-12 educators in the nation's capital.
The training and materials are FREE, but you are responsible for your own travel expenses. I have a friend who attended 3 years ago and she said it was one of the most valuable experiences of her professional career.
The application deadline is March 21, but don't wait until the last minute.
