A Message from Your Seminar Leader

Dear Colleague:

As a Biology and Life Science Teacher, I welcomed the sweeping instructional changes introduced by the Next Generation Science Standards. I found that putting phenomena-driven learning as a focus to be one of the most significant improvements to the way I had been previously teaching science. In particular, the three-dimensional approach that helps students make sense of phenomena and learn key Biology and Life Science skills and concepts was a game changer. However, I know first-hand that without practical tools, ideas, and resources, it can be overwhelming. That's why I created this unique, specialized one-day seminar just for you!

This dynamic day is designed to guide and support you as you work to align and incorporate the phenomena-focused goals and objectives of the NGSS into your Biology and Life Science instruction. Regardless of your level of knowledge and implementation of the NGSS, you will leave with new ideas and practical strategies that you will be able to immediately implement. In this seminar, you will benefit from new, cutting-edge instructional tools and strategies, and the experience from myself and other Biology and Life Science teachers who have implemented them. Representing the most current research and classroom-tested strategies, these are practical approaches that, in addition to maximizing engagement, will also lead to greater learning outcomes and student achievement. This highly informative and collaborative seminar will focus on proven, innovative, practical approaches and activities that will strengthen your Biology and Life Science curriculum and your students' achievement.

I hope you will join me for this valuable experience that will inspire and motivate you to immediately implement the resources and cutting-edge instructional techniques I will share at this seminar. You will also leave with an extensive digital resource handbook that includes the resources shared during the seminar. I look forward to our day together and I am incredibly excited to work with you!

Sincerely,
Vince Mancuso

P.S. Prepare for an interactive and collaborative day! One main objective will be to fill your toolbox with a wealth of proven and practical tools, resources, and strategies you will be able to immediately implement in your Biology and Life science classroom.
