This professional learning day is the fourth session in our five-workshop series that connects the Wildlife Conservation Society’s global research and conservation initiatives to local classrooms. We invite you to join us at the New York Aquarium for this day. Prepare to engage your analytical skills as you examine facts, gather evidence, and construct data-driven arguments. In this workshop, participants will develop the skills necessary for collecting evidence and formulating compelling arguments to achieve shared objectives. The session will focus on SEP #7: Engaging in Argument From Evidence and SEP #8: Obtaining, Evaluating, and Communicating Information. Teachers will have the opportunity to advocate for sharks and create a distinctive conservation project to utilize back in the classroom with students of any age.
