“Workshops boost my skills and help me build connections with other teachers. I have gained confidence in becoming the best science teacher I can be for my students. Thank you, Advancing Science!”
Workshops
Teacher workshops are offered annually and are required to orient teachers to the Advancing Science program. Veteran Advancing Science teachers are welcome to attend workshops to boost their content knowledge and learn about new Advancing Science lab kits. Workshops are standards-based and provide teachers with the opportunity to experience Advancing Science lab kits through a student lens. Gettysburg College is now an approved Act 48 provider and teachers may earn Act 48 hours for workshop attendance.
Upcoming Workshops
- June 9, 2026 - Remix Your Units: Hands-on Upgrades for Advancing Science Classrooms - Many of our veteran teachers have told us they’re ready to refine their new STEELS-aligned curriculum to include more meaningful hands-on experiences, stronger integration of science and engineering practices, and deeper connections to environmental literacy and sustainability. Whether you’re using a vendor’s curriculum or have created your own, this veterans’ workshop will help you take your science learning to the next level. Join us for a full day of collaborative, guided work where you’ll revise and enhance an existing unit of study. You’ll explore ways to incorporate Advancing Science resources more strategically, strengthen student engagement through hands-on learning, and ensure your instruction fully reflects the intent of the standards.
