Science and Math teachers of grades 6-12 will have 28 different science, math, technology and cross-disciplinary sessions to choose from. Featuring IMSA faculty and staff members, and collaborating with Regional Offices of Education and school districts in surrounding counties, IMSA has opened its doors to offer an intensive day of professional development. As always, the programs feature loads of hands-on, inquiry-based activities and ideas, along with materials to take back to your own classroom.
This year's Keynote speaker will be Dr. Bobb Darnell with Achievement Strategies, LLC, focusing on Common Core State Standards.
