AceraEI Registration for: Summer 2021 Life Sciences Change Agent Teacher (LSCAT) PD Workshops: Gene Editing with CRISPR, The Human Microbiome, and The Secret Life of Plants
Join the AceraEI Life Sciences Change Agent Teachers (LSCAT) team and Medford High School for a FREE five-day professional development workshop series based on NGSS-aligned curricula. Participating teachers and department leaders will learn about new and relevant technologies, how scientists conduct lab research and work iteratively, and how to translate these innovations into labs and lessons plans that offer inspiration and a sense of purpose to students. Sessions will include hands-on lab experiences and access to pilot-tested curricula in a) gene editing (using CRISPR technology), b) human microbiomics, and 3) photosynthesis and climate change. These areas are among the leading trends in biotechnology, allowing teachers and students to connect their classroom lab activities to contemporary research happening in the world.
When: August 16-20, 2021 | 8:30am – 3:00pm
Where: Medford High School, 489 Winthrop Street, Medford
