Virginia Science Education Leadership Association
Spring 2023 VSELA Meeting
Richmond Marriott Short Pump
4240 Dominion Blvd. Glen Allen, VA
April 25-26, 2023
Agenda Coming Soon!
Our Spring Conference will focus on Environmental Literacy and Meaningful Watershed Education Experiences. During this event we will partner with Chesapeake Bay Foundation and other environmental partners to provide opportunities to define and refine strategies of your district's Environmental Literacy Plan.
Attendees can choose from two learning options:
Option 1: Registration for the Boat Experience is Full!
A Chesapeake Bay Foundation-led boat experience on the James River. Similar to CBF’s one day program for 4th-12th graders, the experience will provide “a unique platform from which participants study the dynamic ecosystem of the James River aboard our fully equipped research vessel.” VSELA colleagues will sample aquatic life and perform water quality tests while overlooking locations that have significant historical ties to the river—plantations, heavy industry, and serene wildlife preserves. All gear and boxed lunches will be provided.
Option 2:
A campus-based MWEE experience utilizing the hotel grounds. VSELA colleagues will investigate and incorporate primary source data of the immediate area and compare it to data collected in situ. Leaders will network and explore the campus to experience relating to how it may relate to implications for their Divisions regarding the updated School Report Card. Materials and lunch will be provided.
