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:Using Virtual Learning to Foster Creativity in Chemistry
DESCRIPTION:In a time that demands flexible thinking\, there is an opportunity to bridge science and art in new ways. Eric Nash is an artist\, green chemistry leader\, and high school teacher who brings his drawing into the classroom through creating coloring books\, DIY paper models\, and hands-on green chemistry labs. While transitioning to 100% virtual teaching\, Eric utilizes COVID examples and critical thinking challenges to promote student collaboration and exploration. Eric will share ready-to-use direct-to-student videos\, lesson plans\, and print out models for online learning.  Listen to him share his solutions to teaching chemistry virtually\, and how art plays a role in communication complex concepts. \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Green Chemistry Connections
DESCRIPTION:Beyond 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 you’ll use this Fall\, 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.
