What: The Long Island Master Teachers Chemistry group, part of the New York State STEM Master Teacher Program, will be conducting a workshop for novice chemistry teachers (0-3 years of experience or new to teaching chemistry. There will be no charge for attending the program, but there may be a modest materials fee ($25). The program will be organized to address the ten units of the New York State Physical Setting: Chemistry Core Curriculum. Each session will focus on chemistry content, student difficulties with the content, as well as activities and lab experiments that can be used within each unit. In addition, participants will be introduced to aspects of the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) that relate to the New York State Regents level chemistry course. Applications are free. Acceptance emails will be released on June 29, 2017 (at which time the materials fee will be due).
When: August 14-18, 2017 8am-3pm for a total of 30 hours (certificates provided on Friday.)

We recommend the parking garage located at the main entrance and walking south to the Life Science Building (although it is $2 per hour). Free parking is available but you will need to take the free bus. We recently discovered that the residence parking may also be free since classes are not in session. Be sure to park in only free parking or metered parking as there are many parking police and they love to write tickets. Click the link above for more rates and parking availability. |
