Track 5 - STEM Training with Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS)
School Year 2012-2013 PD Dates: Saturdays, 3/2, 3/9, 3/16, 3/232, 4/6. Year 3 PD will take place at the Bronx Zoo.

As part of this course teachers will attend five days of professional development each year with WCS. At the workshop teachers will have the opportunity to visit local science institutions and learn core content knowledge from WCS field Scientists. You'll also see how the WCS scientists use their studies to care for animals in the zoo and save them in the wild. Participants will learn how to guide students in Investigation Design and how to connect science process to content through the development of scientific explanations. Teachers will leave with a book full of resources and activities that will allow easy and quick implementation in their own classroom.
