SUMMARY:NYSMTP Statewide Green Chemistry Professional Learning Team
DESCRIPTION:From ocean plastic to forest fires\, our world needs invention\, innovation and creativity to find solutions to our biggest problems. Green chemistry\, also known as the science of solutions\, offers a framework for decreasing hazards within classrooms while promoting sustainability for both human health and the environment.  Whether you are new to thinking about sustainability in the classroom\, or have already implemented green chemistry lesson plans\, we want you to join us. Together\, we will create a community of Green Chemistry educators within the state of NY. \n  \nDuring our time together\, NY teachers will share and collaborate in the creation of NYSSLS Aligned Green Chemistry Labs\, videos of implementing labs\, and lesson plans spotlighting NY Industries practicing green chemistry. We will also offer a CleanSweep program for chemistry classrooms looking for chemical disposal. Most importantly\, together we will share lessons and labs as we work together to add sustainability into our sciences.  Please complete the enclosed short form to join the PLT team. \n  \nAre you interested in joining in or learning more? Complete the following form: \nhttps://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfmaCmbPA0zX2vYkEWVFljoqpIpC54IdqlwCdHfEpEZrZf9fA/viewformhttps://forms.gle/EW7w43i8vbxWgRpS7 \nOrganizer: masterteacherprogram@suny.edu

SUMMARY:Green Chemistry Connections
DESCRIPTION:Join us to make Green Chemistry Connections \nBeyond Benign will be hosting a monthly Green Chemistry Connection around Green Chemistry education using the Green Chemistry Students Learning Objectives from the Green Chemistry Commitment program as a loose framework. The topics for discussion will be Green Chemistry theory\, toxicology\, laboratory skills and application of Green Chemistry education. Each time we meet\, we will host up to 4 speakers from the community who are actively practicing Green Chemistry in their courses and/or laboratories\, as well as give time for discussion in small groups along with networking and resource sharing. \nWe ask that you BYOR\, bring your own resource or request to the community – share a resource or put a request out to the group for resources you need. \nWe invite you to bring your departmental colleagues\, external collaborators\, graduate teaching assistants\, etc. to the discussion as we will be holding this space and time monthly for the community to come together around Green Chemistry education to advance the field together virtually! \nRegister now! \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting. \nTo learn more about Green Chemistry Connections sponsorship opportunities click here.

SUMMARY:SLiThEr #11 – Implementing Green Chemistry in the Inorganic Laboratory
DESCRIPTION:Join our Greener Chemistry Laboratory Fellow Dr. John De Backere from the University of Toronto and our Higher Education Program Manager\, Dr. Natalie O’Neil at the next virtual SLiThEr hosted by IONiC / VIPEr the Interactive Online Network of Inorganic Chemists that host the Virtual Inorganic Pedagogical Electronic Resources. \nAre you interested in implementing green chemistry in your teaching and research? (No\, we don’t mean adding hexaaquanickel(II) to everything.) Green chemistry is sometimes taught as a standalone course or integrated into organic chemistry laboratory. However\, much less has been done for inorganic laboratory courses. Come discuss the ways you’ve tried to incorporate green chemistry into your courses as well as get ideas for how to make your inorganic laboratory courses more green. We look forward to a lively verdant discussion! \nThe discussion will be at 1 pm Pacific/4 pm Eastern on Thursday\, October 15th. You can register here.

SUMMARY:Virtual Meet-up: Connecting With Chemistry During COVID-19
DESCRIPTION:Are you teaching chemistry in-person\, hybrid or virtually this semester? Are you looking to support student investigation using a real-world context?  \nJoin members of the Beyond Benign Lead Teacher team who have been navigating the muddy waters of teaching chemistry during COVID-19 as they share their experience\, strength and hope with each other to find a way to support student learning by using green chemistry principles\, practices and open access resources. \nSend us your questions\, ideas and/or suggestions for connecting sustainability and chemistry concepts in advance or bring them with you. Lead Teachers Michael Maudal\, Ken Hoffman and Steve Kosmas love sharing their passion for chemistry and sustainability and will share what it looks like for them this year and tips for pivoting to adjust to the ever changing demands of teaching in-person\, hybrid and virtually. \nREGISTER HERE
