at the CT STEM Academy in Wallingford, CT
Join us for a catered dinner from 4:30-8:00pm at the CT STEM Academy, 284 Washington Street, Wallingford, CT
The State Science Leadership Team will present their Aim Statement and seek feedback from districts on improving science instruction across the State. The keynote speaker, Jim Clifford, will equip science leaders with vetted and curated climate resources. His presentation will focus on climate resources searchable by subject, grade, resource type, and specific standards, which is now available at no cost to school districts and teachers. Learn how to navigate this powerful resource database, how teachers can receive free professional development and how they can contribute their own science resources for the new Connecticut Climate Education Hub, launching later this year!
