Hello,

Even after many hours of professional development on Next Generation Science Standard (NGSS), I still find myself looking for more support.

It is the time of year when POGIL workshops are being planned and registration is open. The facilitation teams are awesome and it is a very worthwhile experience, not just about POGIL, but about teaching, learning, and how we think about our students.

With the end of spring break comes the craziness of exam preparation and the final push through the academic year. It’s also a time to reflect on what pedagogical strategies have worked well for us and on which areas of our instruction can be improved. The summer provides a must needed rest for educators, but also a time to grow and develop new techniques to enhance the use of our pedagogical content knowledge. Now is the time to carve out a piece of your summer to allow these professional development goals to become a reality.
