Maryland Virtual Learning Opportunities Program (MVLO) is an educational service managed by the Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE) that provides access to challenging online professional learning and student courses throughout Maryland. MSDE is currently looking to procure qualified educators to facilitate these asynchronous web-based courses. Those individuals who meet all essential qualifications and the required experiences, will have their name placed on an MSDE facilitator database. As needed, facilitators will be called upon to provide required online facilitation services. Those interested in facilitating both student and PD courses must apply to each RFQ.

The Maryland Summit will be held on Tuesday, July 19th and Wednesday July 20th for teacher-led teams selected by peers through an application process.

 Insect Investigations: Using 'bugs' to engage students in the NGSS Science and Engineering Practices
The Towson University Center for STEM Excellence is offering a summer professional learning workshop for elementary teachers of grades 3-5 focused on using insects to engage students in the NGSS science and engineering practices.
Participants will spend three days in July engaging in model lessons aligned with NGSS that focus on incorporating insects into classroom instruction and learning more about insects and the NGSS. Participants will be challenged to create and then implement their own NGSS-aligned lessons that utilize insects in their classrooms. We'll meet again in October to share the results of the lesson implementations. All participants will receive a classroom insect 'starter kit' that contains live insects and the materials necessary to keep them in the classroom. Successful participants will receive 3 CPD credits from MSDE. You can read more about the workshop here.
The workshop will take place from 8:00 am - 3:30 pm the following days:
- Wednesday, July 5
- Thursday, July 6
- Friday, July 7
- Saturday, October 28
