    SDSTA Summer Professional Development:

    Ambitious Science Teaching Book Study

    Join us for a book study over Ambitious Science Teaching! This book study will meet virtually over the month of June for one kick-off meeting (to be scheduled between May 25-29) and four small group meetings with your assigned team. After completing the book, participants will complete a final implementation project in order to meaningfully connect their reading with classroom practices. 

    Book study participants will be split into small groups with a group leader and each group will work to schedule their own meetings. Groups will be assigned by common availability as best we can. 

    This book study is FREE for all SDSTA members and $50 for non-members. One graduate credit is available from BHSU CAMSE for $40. 

    Please contact SDSTA President Leslie Sauder or SDSTA Past-President Ally Bowers with any questions!

    BTC, Improving Your Practice

    As we continue to work and reflect on our practice, so does BTC. In this workshop, we will explore the recent changes that Peter and his team have made to BTC. We will also explore how to reflect and improve on our practices with self-reflection and observation tools. Lastly, we will address some myths and challenges that have been common around the country.
