NSTA Picture Perfect STEM Lessons Workship

Picture Perfect STEM Lessons Workshop in Winston Salem, June 25-26, 2019

The workshop begins at 8:00 a.m. and ends at 3:00 p.m. each day.

Co-Sponsor: Davidson County Schools

Location: Oak Grove Middle School
1771 Hoy long Road
Winston-Salem, NC 27107

Lunch is not provided.

Parking: Free parking is available at the school.

The two-day workshop is ideal for elementary educators who want to integrate STEM and literacy in their classroom or STEM lab. Participants build a solid understanding of STEM and literacy integration and the 5E model by engaging in model lessons and hands-on learning tasks. By the end of this two-day experience, educators have the skills, knowledge, and confidence they need to successfully begin implementing Picture-Perfect STEM Lessons in their classrooms.

The train-the-trainer option is designed to help curriculum and instructional specialists, science coaches, and other teacher-leaders conduct workshops to introduce the Picture-Perfect STEM program to teachers in their own school or district. In addition to the Two-Day STEMposium, you will receive everything you need to get your colleagues started (facilitator guide, PowerPoint slides, videos, handouts, picture books, posters, and hands-on materials) as well as a follow-up webinar and ongoing support from the authors.

Space is limited in both workshops.
