Hello Teachers!

Are you getting ready to start implementing the new 6th grade Earth Science Standards next year?  Come join us at a bootcamp designed just for you!

The ESTEP 6th grade professional development will be a one week, bootcamp style, regional (think...stay close to home and use place-based phenomena in your classroom) workshop that incorporates earth and space science content as well as teach you how to develop three-dimensional units.  We’ll help you choose phenomena, write storylines and lessons, and walk you through investigations that you can use as a jumping-off point in your transition to the new standards.  We will also provide ongoing support as you begin your journey, and create regional cohorts so that you aren’t doing it alone.
