SUMMARY:Administrator-Focused Science Professional Learning
DESCRIPTION:This administrator-focused PL offering was specifically designed to help leaders support shifts in science instruction towards PA STEELS\n\n\nWho: Any and all administrators (district or building) or explicitly defined science leaders (e.g.\, department head\, coach\, grade-level lead) are invited to attend \nWhen: October 28-29\, 2025 from 8:00 AM – 3:30 PM \nWhere: Allegheny Intermediate Unit\, 475 E. Waterfront Drive\, Homestead\, PA 15120 \nPrice: $350 \nWhat: The Principals Learn and Network to Support 3-Dimensional Science Learning (PLANS) is an interactive experience emphasizing Instructional leadership and active support for K-12 science and STEM teachers at both the building and district level. This pathway is specifically created for instructional leaders interested in knowing more about and figuring out constructive strategies for supporting teachers and students as they make shifts in their teaching and learning towards phenomenon-based\, three-dimensional science. \nPLANS participants are immersed in actively learning in ways that NGSS \, PA STEELS standards\, and education research calls for students to learn science in the classroom. Administrators experience firsthand what it feels\, looks\, and sounds like when K-12 students are figuring out why phenomena happen as well as representing their thinking through modeling and productive classroom talk. Administrators use some of the important tools for making thinking public that teachers and students use in NGSS-designed units. Then\, administrators have opportunities to reflect together on what it means for students and teachers to work together as a community —- and how they can support this work themselves. \nThroughout the experience\, participants consider the ways in which their school can begin (or continue) to make these shifts. They see examples of students engaged in NGSS-designed learning in classrooms\, as well as administrators supporting teachers as they begin to implement the changes called for by NGSS. They explore concrete tools they can use to support teachers (for example\, in planning meetings\, observations\, and debriefs)\, and they begin to plan how they might use these tools themselves. \nThe shifts motivated by the National Research Council’s Framework for K-12 Science Education (NAS\, 2012)\, the NGSS and PA STEELS standards are substantial. Yet we know that these shifts are possible for teachers to make. We also know that the shifts are productive for student learning\, and they must be supported through pedagogy and classroom culture. Instructional leadership and active support at the building and district level is an important part of a successful outcome for teachers of science and for their students! \nTech: Please bring a laptop and/or tablet to access online resources.

SUMMARY:Check and Connect: Building Connection Through Mentoring at Tier 2 & 3
DESCRIPTION:Check & Connect is an intervention used with K-12 students who show warning signs of disengagement with school and who are at risk of dropping out. At the core of Check & Connect is a trusting relationship between the student and a caring\, trained mentor who both advocates for and challenges the student to keep education salient. Students are referred to Check & Connect when they show warning signs of disengaging from school\, such as poor attendance\, behavioral issues\, and/or low grades.

SUMMARY:Shared Waters Curriculum Training- Grades 3-6
DESCRIPTION:Spend a day engaged in a 10 lesson curriculum designed for the PA STEELS standards\, specifically the Environmental Lit. and Sustainability.\n\n\nShared Waters began as a NOAA B-WET grant as an upstream-downstream partnership with the goal of systemically implementing Meaningful Watershed Educational Experiences (MWEE) in elementary schools. These experiences aim to teach students about local watershed issues and how their actions impact the overall health of the watershed. \nThe project culminated in a comprehensive curriculum that was classroom-tested with nearly 1\,000 elementary students. Shared Waters is spreading as it is enthusiastically embraced by teachers and administrators as a supported\, class-ready curriculum that is engaging and impactful. \nShared Waters offers a comprehensive curriculum specifically designed for elementary students in grades 3-6\, aligned with NGSS and multiple state standards\, with an emphasis on environmental literacy and sustainability. This curriculum includes 10 lessons\, culminating in an action project\, and covers topics such as understanding the water cycle and the concept of watersheds\, conducting chemical analyses of natural water bodies\, identifying aquatic macroinvertebrates as indicators of water quality\, exploring the effects of human activities on watersheds\, and developing and implementing action plans to address environmental issues. We plan to expand our offerings with middle and high school curricula in the near future to further support environmental education across all grade levels. \nThe program’s goals are to enhance understanding of watershed science and the impact of human activities on water quality\, foster a sense of responsibility and connection to local watersheds through community-based projects\, and encourage students to develop and implement action plans to improve watershed health. \nParticipants will leave with a kit of materials designed to help them implement this curriculum. Due to the cost of the materials\, kit distribution will be limited to one kit per school.
