The Touro College and University System is collaborating with the Smithsonian Science Education Center to develop programs for science educators. The inaugural workshop presented by Touro’s Graduate School of Education (GSE) and the Smithsonian Science Education Center will cultivate science education leadership and spotlight innovations in STEM. Hosted by the Issac Newton Middle School for Math and Science on November 6 in NYC, the conference offers participants an opportunity to engage in multiple hands-on sessions focusing on the use of modeling as an explanation and argumentation to elicit ideas. Upon successful completion of the workshop, STEM middle school teachers and administrators will earn New York State Continuing Teacher and Leadership Education (CTLE) professional development credits. Touro will also collaborate with the SSEC on joint research projects and internship opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students, developed to enhance science instruction by educating teachers and administrators working for the New York City Department of Education.
