Âé¶¹¹ÙÍø experiences and opportunities for Middle School Research Teachers Conference attendees

By Wendy Li

The Society’s second Middle School Research Teachers Conference will take place virtually this weekend, September 11-13. We are excited to welcome 163 teachers from 25 states, Washington, DC, Puerto Rico and American Samoa to this peer-led event where they will be able to share their expertise with one another and learn best practices. The online conference will also include two “halls†where teachers will have an opportunity to take virtual tours, play Âé¶¹¹ÙÍø games, find interactive lessons, and learn about organizations that offer professional development, resources and grants for educators. Below are some of the organizations that will have virtual booths for teachers to visit.
