SUMMARY:New York Professional Learning Team Meet-up
DESCRIPTION:Join us for monthly meet-ups from 5pm – 6pm ET to collaborate with peers in the creation of NYSSLS Aligned Green Chemistry Labs\, videos of implementing labs\, and lesson plans spotlighting NY Industries practicing green chemistry! We will feature guest speakers who are leaders in sustainable science bimonthly. Most importantly\, together we will share lessons and labs as we work together to add sustainability into our sciences. \nFrom 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. \nWhether 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. This PLT is for teachers in grades 6-12. \nRegistration link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScGsyx4D0pDnoieDjfzQGwIJAIToFfSEthSRNp3rgbmVOuEwA/viewform \nNY Site: https://sites.google.com/beyondbenign.org/green-chemistry-in-new-york/ \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting. \nSeries Dates: Sept 13\, 2021; Nov 1\, 2021; Dec 6\, 2021; Jan 10\, 2022; Feb 7\, 2022; Mar 7\, 2022; April 4\, 2022; May 2\, 2022; June 6\, 2022;

SUMMARY:Empowering Youth through Culturally Sustaining Science Curriculum
DESCRIPTION:Join Raks Derival and Dr. Rasheda Likely in their presentation\, “Empowering Youth through Culturally Sustaining Science Curriculum.” \nREGISTER HERE \nIn this presentation\, you will hear from two scientist-educator-researchers\, both women of color\, who investigate the development and implementation of a culturally sustaining science curriculum. High school students participated in an independent project focused on chemistry and social justice. \nThese activities were aligned with the culturally sustaining framework in the following five ways: content centered in the Next Generation Science Standards 3D framework\, centering and following students’ interests\, challenging the status quo by focusing on students as experts\, sustaining student agency through artifacts and products that students chose and iteratively developed\, and multi-modal assessments. Through their project\, the students led the entire research process including engaging in several science and engineering practices such as: asking guiding questions\, planning and carrying out investigation\, collaborating with an expert\, analysis of data\, and communicating findings. \nThis project both empowers students to take risks and serves as an example for other educators who are interested in culturally sustaining praxis. Outcomes of culturally sustaining curricula vary widely since students and their interests in the content is the central focus of this framing. Although the ambiguity of implementing such a curriculum that follows students’ interests can be daunting\, we firmly believe “You cannot predict the magic”. \n\n\n\n\n
