Connected educators teach longer and have greater satisfaction in what is easily one of the best and most challenging professions.
Whether you've had the opportunity to connect with educators on Teaching Channel's Q&A board, or even just exploring the Deep Dives, the Tch Next Gen Science Squad wants to connect with you as we continue to get better together!
This year, the Tch NextGen Science Squad has been working to bring you snippets of our NGSS journey through #NextGenSquadinAction and #anewkindofpd videos on Twitter and Facebook.
Here's a sample of what we've been working on this year:

Now, we want to invite you to join us as we go LIVE at the National Science Teacher Association (NSTA) conference in Atlanta, Georgia, March 15-18.
Conferences are the time when we have an opportunity be inspired and to connect with one another to share the positive parts of our profession. Teaching Channel provides us a great community to connect with throughout the year and now we're so excited to have this opportunity to meet YOU face to face!
Join the Squad at 9:00 AM on Saturday Morning at the Annual Shareathon
We will be sharing NGSS resources and giveaways. And we’d love to hear what you’re doing in your classrooms and how we can help. We’ll also be previewing some of the exciting things coming from the squad this Spring that you won’t want to miss.
In a session at 9:00? Look for us in black and white Tch Squad shirts in one of these other amazing sessions and come say hello!
