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\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: September 30-October 1\, 2026 from 8:00 AM – 3:30 PM \nWhere: Allegheny Intermediate Unit\, 475 E. Waterfront Drive\, Homestead\, PA 15120 \nPrice: $350 (Possible discounted rate for educators from high-needs school districts based on potential grant funding) \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:Digging into Phenomenon-Based\, Three-Dimensional Science Learning
DESCRIPTION:Are you ready to start learning more about the science standards within the PA STEELS standards? Join us for this free day of learning! \n\n\n\n\nWho: Any and all science educators\, including K-12 science teachers or science-supporting teachers and administrators (e.g.\, academic coaches\, STEM Coordinators\, Curriculum Coordinators\, Directors of Innovation & Curriculum\, etc.) \nWhen: Monday\, October 12\, 2026 \nWhere: Thomas Jefferson High School\, 830 Old Clairton Road\, Jefferson Hills\, PA 15025 (This is an in-person only event.) \nPrice: Free to all AIU3 educators \nWhat: Experience the Power of the PA STEELS Standards. This science professional learning offering is a one-day deep dive into and reflection on science teaching and learning that is aligned to the science standards in the recently-released PA Science\, Technology & Engineering\, Environmental Literacy & Sustainability (STEELS) Standards. Participants will immerse themselves in a science learning experience\, and as a consequence\, walk away with increased understanding of what science instruction looks and feels like when it is three-dimensional\, phenomenon-based\, and equitable. \nFood: A light lunch will be provided courtesy of West Jefferson Hills School District. Thank you\, West Jeff! \nTech: Please bring a laptop and/or tablet to access online resources.
