Experience an engaging professional development opportunity with our Lower School Reading Collabsite™ on Friday, February 20. Registration is $295 per attendee for this one-day event.

Join us for a one-day workshop that empowers educators with practical tools to implement best practices in word study, the science of reading, and support the development of comprehension and literary analysis, while fostering a love for reading. Participants will explore innovative and practical strategies for teaching reading in the lower school, amidst evolving research and diverse student needs, which require more than intuition; they demand insight. Through guided discussions, examine informal, evidence-based assessment strategies that provide actionable insights and support instruction in real time. Through a review of the landscape of reading instruction, focusing on the big picture rather than checklists, participants will see how what educators say and do shapes readers’ growth across genres.

Experience an engaging professional development opportunity with our Developing a Science Research Program Collabsite™ on Friday, March 6. Registration is $295 per attendee for this one-day event.

In efforts to improve STEM education, organizations such as the National Science Board and the National Academy of Sciences recommend greater emphasis on integrated approaches to teaching and learning that provide students with an education reflecting the work and thought processes of scientists and engineers.

This workshop offers a comprehensive framework for designing an impactful science research curriculum for middle and upper school students. Participants will gain practical strategies to foster student independence, guide research success and establish effective student-faculty and peer mentoring structures. The workshop also explores ways to build meaningful partnerships with community organizations to enrich learning experiences.

Research shows that authentic STEM research experiences beyond traditional or inquiry-based labs enhance academic performance, strengthen laboratory skills and deepen students’ understanding of the nature of science and scientific inquiry. By emphasizing hands-on, real-world research opportunities, this CollabSite™ empowers educators to help young scientists develop critical skills, engage more deeply in STEM and experience learning that extends well beyond the classroom.
