Greetings fellow science educators,

Can you believe the '23-'24 school year is almost over?! I hope that each of you have had an amazing year! I know this is the time of year where we reflect on our practice and set goals to continuously improve our craft. So, I wanted to share upcoming professional learning opportunities with you.

This newsletter contains professional learning opportunities for this summer as well as next school year. (Please know that additional sessions may be added throughout the year, and those will be communicated in time. But we wanted to go ahead and share out our current offerings that are on the books!)

Check out the variety of professional learning opportunities we'll be offering. Each flyer is "clickable" to make it larger, and there is a short description and registration link for each session as well! I hope you'll consider joining us for a great time of networking and learning over the next year. And certainly, if there is a professional learning topic that you feel would be beneficial, but don't see on the books, please reach out and we will try to make it happen.

I do want to highlight our upcoming 🧪Science Conference🧪. Linked below you'll find the conference schedule and breakout session descriptions.

Happy browsing!

Jenn
