STANYS Planning Meeting

WHAT TO BRING WITH YOU:

Please bring copies of the activity or materials that you will use for a presentation at the Annual STANYS meeting or a local workshop that you are going to be doing for your section, district or department.
Think about your proposal and be ready to input if you are attending the 2009 STANYS conference.
If you are unable to attend, we will have an alternate brainstorming session on professional development strategies.
Something to share at the end of the day during our content time. I'm hoping to have one SAR do a feature presentation and then allow time for a share-a-thon.
Also...Please take some pictures of your classroom. This is optional but if we get some pictures, we would like to use these at the SAR planning meeting!

FOCUS: Connections

What Does "Making Connections" Mean?

• Among the disciplines within science

• Among science, math, technology, language arts, etc.

• With college science teachers

• With elementary teachers of science

• With other teaching professional associations

• With college instructors of future science teachers

• With the NYSED

• Among the DALs and SARs

• With major science education related institutions at the local, state, and national level

• With and among the other NY professional science education organizations

• With sources of grant money

• Between science teaching and sound elements of instruction

• With future science teachers

• With school districts, BOCESs, and SETRICs

• With the media

• With the NY Board of Regents and legislature

This may also be as simple as making connections in your instruction with studnet lives!
