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:MIDDLE SCHOOL TEACHER COURSE: Inspiring Students with Sustainable Invention
DESCRIPTION:ABOUT THIS COURSE\n*REGISTRATION IS FULL. Currently accepting waitlist registrations* \nAre you looking for strategies to foster student-driven exploration? Are you looking for the tools to confidently integrate NGSS in your classroom? \nMiddle school students are acutely aware of the problems of plastics and the impacts of climate change. They gravitate toward lessons that show them they can make a positive change in the world. Green chemistry is a terrific tool to show them that small changes can make a big difference. \nThrough a sustainable invention lens\, in this course\, we’ll provide tools for fostering student-driven exploration and interdisciplinary science and engineering concepts and practices. This course will provide educators with a robust set of resources and strategies to integrate sustainable invention into their own classrooms. Learn alongside experienced sustainable invention educators.

SUMMARY:ECOSChem External Engagement Session #1
DESCRIPTION:Interested in supporting the development of a cross-sectoral and actionable definition and criteria for “sustainable chemistry”? Beyond Benign and the Lowell Center for Sustainable Production (LCSP) have been working together with the Expert Committee on Sustainable Chemistry (ECOSChem) over the past 6 months to create a draft definition and set of criteria that can accelerate the development and commercialization of greener\, safer and more sustainable chemicals\, processes and products. More information about the committee’s work and mandate can be found here. A set of external engagement sessions will be taking place in early November to gain broader feedback from the community and your participation and expertise would be greatly appreciated! Registration for the November 1st meeting is available through the link below. \nAt the meeting\, the Project Team (LCSP and Beyond Benign) will introduce the project and the draft definition and criteria for “sustainable chemistry” (15 minutes). Participants will then move into small groups organized by sector that will be moderated by ECOSChem members (45 minutes)\, followed by a wrap-up session where key input will be shared with the large group with time for discussion (30 minutes). Discussion materials for these meetings will be sent out on October 31st.

SUMMARY:STANYS Conference
DESCRIPTION:How to Use Green Chemistry Ideas and Activities in Your Regents Chemistry Class \nSunday\, Nov. 6th 11am-12pm \nLead Teachers Stefanie Loomis\, Scott Carlson and Jim Burdick \nHow can you bring green chemistry and sustainability into your class while meeting the NYSSLS and positively influencing student achievement? Green chemistry is a great avenue for putting chemistry content into context. We’ll share our creation of a NYSSLS-aligned curriculum map for New York teachers implementing green chemistry\, including relevant phenomena and storylines. We will share labs that we use and it is our hope that we can collaborate in this session to brainstorm ways in which these labs could be included into storylines that teachers are planning or using.
