Life Science Summer Institute (LSSI) San Diego Miramar College

Here are some pictures of a teacher I work with Tina Tom (Chula Vista Middle School). She and her co-worker Gina Sacaluso-Caro attended the Life Science Summer Institute at Miramar College 2013. Teacher attendees can borrow equipment and a lab assistant for use with students in their classrooms.
I attended this program in January 2012. It was one of the best programs I have been involved with as a teacher in San Diego, Sharon, Erika, Sarah and Sandy were the best instructors. The deadline for 2014 summer applications is March 29, 2014. www.sdbioteched.org

It is a 12 day Summer Program for teachers using the Amgen Biotech Experience curriculum.
Teachers also tour many of the Biotech companies here in San Diego.

NGSS@NSTA Curator Middle School Earth and Space Science

I am one of  the 55 Science teachers from across the country selected as a Curator for the National Science Teachers Association (NSTA). My area of focus is Middle School Earth and Space Science. My specific topic assignment is History of the Earth. NSTA sent me to Charlotte, NC to the area conference where I met teachers from across the country and the writers of the Next Generation Science Standards ( NGSS). It was exciting as I am currently working on my "History of the Earth" activities stay tuned .....   http://ngss.nsta.org  I will give updates on my progress....Photos from Charlotte, NC ...NSTA area Conference below:
