Summer of Synergistic Science: Connecting, Sharing, and Networking

The NSELA Board and Executive Committee have made the decision to hold the upcoming Summer Leadership Institute virtually over three weeks leading into the upcoming school year. The dates of the conference will be July 20, July 28 and August 5, and will focus upon topics under the umbrellas of leadership, engineering, and scientific phenomena.

Day 2 - Wednesday, July 28th

Phenomena: Phenomena are not just a hook! This strand will explore all aspects where phenomena have an impact including high quality curriculum, assessment, language and culture, and community connections.

Day 3 - Thursday, August 5th
