2021 NCSSS Professional Conference
The National Consortium of Secondary STEM Schools (NCSSS) invites you to participate in the 2021 NCSSS Professional Conference! This event will be held November 3-6, 2021 in Kansas City.
Our vision is to serve as the resource for secondary STEM schools by supporting collaboration and knowledge sharing while providing professional development for teachers and administrators to positively impact student achievement in authentic STEM educational environments.
The NCSSS 2021 Program Committee asks that member schools support this vision by submitting proposals showcasing innovative practices at their schools, that could benefit colleagues and students throughout the world, related to all aspects of STEM education.
Based on our experience in past years, this year we will only be accepting proposals for 50-Minute Sessions. Sessions can be entirely lecture format, can be a presentation with questions/discussion time, or can include varying amounts of collaboration and interaction. Please be somewhat specific in your session description as to which format you intend to use.
Sessions should focus on pedagogy and best practices of STEM education in one of the following strands:
- Leadership
- Computer Science
- Engineering
- Humanities
- Equity
- Math
- Outreach
- Research
- Science
- Wellness
The goal of all workshops is for participants to gain valuable resources, make connections with presenters and other educators, and receive insight into successful pedagogy, with the possibility of implementation of some or all of the best practices into their school environment where possible.
Proposals must include the following information to be considered:
