This program took place in February 2020 at Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach. Ms. Emily Yam was our guest educational speaker on the hydrosphere lesson. Her talk and my teaching resources can be found at Bit.ly/LeGoogle. Special Thanks to Aquarium of the Pacific and Emily for supporting this program! Also, Thanks to Ms. Allison Desfor for your help and support! Thanks to all the incredible teachers for such a fun experience together! Below are testimonials from teacher participants. "This training is the most effective and helpful training I have ever attended in regards to NGSS, and the only one that addresses human impact." - Long Beach USD Science Teacher "Hearing how Kelley has taught different lessons and would connect different activities, phenomenon, and demos together was helpful for me to picture how I might reframe my lessons. I also enjoyed practicing the activities from a student perspective." - Anaheim USD Science Teacher "The vast online resources are amazing, I look forward to diving more in depth with them." - San Gabriel USD Science Teacher "I appreciated the support in learning how to select an AP and the resources to support the development of the unit. This allowed me to have real tools that I can take with me when I plan a unit. I also appreciate how you showed us ways to incorporate climate crisis topics into all NGSS units, not just the unit on human impact." - Long Beach USD Science Teacher "The anchoring phenomenon template and the digital resources helped me build my launch unit for introducing climate crisis and human impacts. YouTube videos have always been effective in capturing my students' interest and attention, and it was great to see these incorporated in the presentation. The template and modeling how to use it helped me picture what it would look like in my classroom." - Whittier USD Science Teacher

This program took place in Fall 2018 at Reef Check Foundation in Marina Del Rey. Ms. Katie Kozma was our guest educational speaker on the hydrosphere lesson. Her talk and my teaching resources can be found at Bit.ly/LeGoogle. Special Thanks to Reef Check and Katie for supporting this program! Thanks to the incredible teachers for such a fun experience together! Below are testimonials from teacher participants. "I loved all of the resource links. I also appreciated being put through a simple lab procedure to experience an NGSS lab myself. It will make it easier to bring my old lesson plans up to date with NGSS." - Culver City USD Science Teacher "Hands on materials is so great. It was extremely beneficial to have someone local, like Katie, explain impacts to oceans in California. I have always wanted to SCUBA certified and know I have a reason why - help with the Reef Check. The intro to resources was an exciting way to generate ideas." - Santa Monica USD Science Teacher "I learned a lot just from the videos we were shown and the data we were provided with. Learning about the carbon cycle paths provided the background science information that I was missing. I enjoyed learning about the science that explains climate change and the causes of climate change." - Los Angeles USD Science Teacher "The more I use the concept map, the more effective I'm finding it. I'm able to quickly figure out how to inject different phenomena into my teaching." - Lynwood USD Science Teacher "Being provided the evidence about the Consensus on Consensus was very effective which I can share with the students and even the parents to make climate change a REAL thing." - Pomona USD Science Teacher
This program took place in Fall 2018 at Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach. Ms. Emily Yam was our guest educational speaker on the hydrosphere lesson. Her talk and my teaching resources can be found at Bit.ly/LeGoogle. Special Thanks to Aquarium of the Pacific and Emily for supporting this program! Thanks to the incredible teachers for such a fun experience together! Below are testimonials from teacher participants. "EVERYTHING was so effective in helping me design curriculum! I love being able to teach students about something that they will care about. I loved the first part of the workshop, where we learned about coral reefs and watched those moving videos (totally going to use them this year!)" Lawndale ESD Middle School Science Teacher "The information on Earth Systems. Both lessons helped me under how to develop and design curriculum for my middle school students. It provided me with ideas on making units/lessons aligned with the NGSS; the information also provided me with ideas on creating lessons/activities that would be interesting to my students." TREE Academy Science Teacher "The presentation of current data (different sets of data related to environmental issues) and what the country or specifically what LA is doing to help resolve environmental issues helped me learn more about global climate change." Los Angeles USD Science Teacher "I loved Emily's presentation on the data of the climate change and the examples of natural phenomenon that Kelley went through." Walnut Valley USD Science Teacher
This program took place in Fall 2018 at Cabrillo Marine Aquarium in San Pedro. Ms. Alixandra Lomas was our guest educational speaker on the hydrosphere lesson. Her talk and my teaching resources can be found at Bit.ly/LeGoogle. Special Thanks to Cabrillo Marine Aquarium and Alix for supporting this program! Thanks to the incredible teachers for such a fun experience together! Below are testimonials from teacher participants. "The different hands-on activities (from observing the different species inside the classroom to exploring the San Pedro marsh to water filtration lab were very helpful in planning my classroom curriculum. These activities will enhance the students' learning." - Los Angeles USD Middle School Science Teacher "I think I gained a deeper understanding of the anchoring question today. Also, I saw how I can integrate more of my environmental science curriculum into my chemistry curriculum when talking about climate science and ocean acidification. I also enjoyed the lab." - Azuza USD Science Teacher "The execution of the labs was very effective in designing my classroom curriculum. Students will be able to investigate phenomena and get a deeper understanding of the material." Los Angeles USD Science Teacher "The salt march visit was the most effective part in helping me learn about climate change. The water looked so polluted that it made me think if students can see for themselves the effect of their decisions on the environment, they would take the subject matter to heart." Whittier UHSD Science Teavher
This program took place in June 2018 at Heal The Bay in Santa Monica. Ms. Nancy Schrodes was our guest educational speaker on the hydrosphere lesson. Her talk and my teaching resources can be found at Bit.ly/LeGoogle. Special Thanks to Heal the Bay and Nancy for supporting this program! Thanks to the incredible teachers for such a fun experience together! Below are testimonials from teacher participants. "I loved the presentation and I am going to look more into the cleanup day for my students. But all of it was effective in learning about global climate change. You have definitely peaked my interest in it and I am so excited to share this info with my students!" - Antelope Valley UHSD Science Teacher "I LOVED getting all the content about climate change in LA. That's the stuff I have a hard time finding on my own to be able to design units and phenomenon." - Culver City Middle School Teacher "What helped me learn was using the posters to help develop a Prezi, with guided instructions as Kelley walked around. In addition, I really felt going through the Anchoring Phenomenon and anchoring questions were helpful." - Los Angeles USD SPED Teacher "I loved the anchoring question activity from showing phenomena. Kelley showed me that by revisiting the anchoring question, it really provides buy-in for the students, it shows that what they are learning is important, and it gets the concepts/ideas/lessons to stick!" - Los Angeles USD Science Teacher "It was a perfect flow. Your lessons are so organized and wonderfully rich!" - Antelope Valley UHSD Science Teacher
