​Thanks to All Who Attended Our Nov 1st Dinner Meeting 
Special thanks to Nicole Bay who facilitated a great PD session with help from Justine Lasala and Nicole Raccio.  The conversations and shared experiences both deepened understanding and provided practical applications of the Crosscutting Concepts.  Check out the linked PowerPoint to explore some resources and practices to elevate the crosscutting concepts in your classroom. 

Many thanks to our November dinner sponsor ExploreLearning and the free classroom trial provided to all attendees.



Our first dinner meeting of 2022-2023 was held on November 9th.  
Here is a link to the slides (including links to resources).


The PD focused on the question “What does an NGSS Science classroom look like? ” and provided discussions of tools useful for teacher planning and growth, and supervisor walkthroughs.  The tools can help teaching, supervision and the shifts of the NGSS.


Join CSSA and help us support Science teaching and learning in CT.

      Many thanks to Activate Learning for sponsoring our Nov 9 dinner
