Our virtual events are interactive, participant-centered meetings where you spend a good portion of the time in breakout rooms getting to know job-alike colleagues as you discuss your science leadership successes and challenges. The events include share-outs, panels, and opportunities to create working groups. Members of the group also meet up face to face at NSTA two times per year!

Facilitators

Sessions are facilitated by the professional learning leads from the team at The Lawrence Hall of Science who developed Amplify Science.

The community gathers about once per month and you can join as your schedule allows — you don’t need to commit to attending the full series.

NSTA New Orleans happy hour

We plan to hold an in-person gathering at NSTA in New Orleans on November 7th. A number of ILCP members met up at the NSTA in Denver in March and had a wonderful time connecting “in real life”!

April Learning Event — Save the Date!

In addition to our one-hour gatherings, we will be holding a three-hour virtual Learning Event from 9 am-12 pm PT on Thursday, April 24th. We’ll spend this extended time together focused on leadership practices and tools that support the implementation of Amplify Science.

“I feel like I am walking away with validation and new ideas to try and implement.”

“High point: being around such a committed and passionate group of leaders who want our systems to improve.”

“The resources shared by fellow leaders were amazing!”

“Hearing perspectives from people all over the country helped to bring forward ideas for next school year.”

Many (but not all) members of the community have also joined the Amplify Science Instructional Leaders Facebook Group; this is another place where you can ask and answer questions and share resources.
