Dates: August 1, 2024, 9 AM-3:00PM, in-person at The Marymount School

About the Workshop

This unique one-day workshop is designed for school leaders and administrators looking for hands-on support as you shape your school-wide vision for STEM, and manage the challenges that come with making your vision a reality.

In your role as a school leader, STEM department chair, or curriculum leader, you may be grappling with:

• Shaping a practical vision for STEM at your school. How do you develop a school mission and vision statement for STEM?
• Building a rollout timeline for new curriculum or pedagogy.
• Coordinating and supporting school wide STEM events.
• Coordinating and supporting cross-curricular projects or units.
• Addressing hands-on activities/projects for students (dealing with scheduling and/or facility/equipment restraints).
• Best practices in making the most of assessments and their outcomes
• Where does peer coaching fit in?

Participants will dig into strategies for feasible implementation, and the group will be offered time to work collaboratively with peers and facilitators on a plan before the end of the day. Join us in-person for an interactive workshop for emerging and experienced school leaders to “level up” your approaches and strategies for making your STEM vision a reality at your school. Participants will be asked to share priorities with facilitators in advance of the workshop day.

Interested in an Invoice/Purchase Order Request?

Teachers! Ask your school to pay for your ticket! All the school needs to do is send us a Purchase Order (PO). Fill out our PO/Invoice survey and we will prepare you an invoice for you to submit to your school/district. Or just copy and paste the information above and let them know the workshop you want to attend. Don’t be afraid to ask. There’s always a chance the money will be available and they’ll say yes, but if you don’t ask, there’s no chance at all.

Members find out about workshops first and can sign up before others.

Please note: We take screenshots, photographs and record video of our workshops in order to publicize a positive image of science teaching, and of STEMteachersNYC – a recognized 501(c)(3) non-profit organization – and to support future teacher leaders. If you register, you are agreeing to be photographed and to have your voice and image video-recorded. You are also agreeing to relinquish all your rights to the photographs and video recordings.

If you do not wish to be photographed or video-recorded – you must inform us before the workshop starts. For in-person workshops, we will take one photograph of your face so that we can erase your image if we happen to catch it by chance during the workshop, and we will do our best to avoid you. We would also appreciate your cooperation in positioning yourself at the edge of the group so as to help us avoid you.
