The LaDIA Fellowship is divided into two retreats, each lasting two and a half days. To show fellows the unique issues associated with Louisiana’s coast, retreats take place off campus in communities along the Chenier Plain and in the greater New Orleans area. At each retreat, fellows take part in intensive communication training, supplemented with field trips that illustrate how coastal issues affect communities. Attendance is mandatory at each session as the lessons build on each other.
2022 Fellowship Consists of Two Retreats:
- May 12 – 14, 2022 — Southeastern Louisiana (rescheduled from January 6 – 8, 2022)
- May 25 – 27, 2022 — Southwestern Louisiana
LaDIA Fellows will explore the coast, in person and in detail. Skills are taught in the context of different coastal regions and their unique challenges.
The 2022 Teacher Leader Summit is an annual professional development conference which brings together Louisiana birth to grade 12 educators and content experts. Educators participating in the event will share their knowledge, learn new skills, and prepare for the 2022-2023 school year.

Uncover layers of Louisiana natural history during this two-year workshop that combines hands-on field work and guided curriculum development. Teachers will collect samples alongside researchers to better understand our changing coast and how past, present and future engineering projects impact ecosystems. In addition to the summer workshop, teachers participate in two (compensated) virtual trainings—one in the spring and one in the fall. Addition support is provided for teachers that want to attend the Louisiana Science Teacher Association conference.

NYSMEA’s conference-planning committee is pleased to announce the dates for this year’s hybrid conference. Based at Hofstra University in Hempstead, Long Island, the conference will kick off with the Sea Grant Educators meeting on Friday, July 8, 2022. The NMEA Board meeting will take place on Saturday, July 9, and we’ll have a fun kick-off event that evening for everyone. The conference will move into full swing with speakers and sessions on July 10-13, with full-day field trips on Tuesday, July 12. Being mindful of time zones for those attending remotely, the speakers and sessions will be scheduled from 2-6 pm ET, allowing in-person participants the opportunity to spend their mornings taking short excursions or getting together to explore common interests. Stay tuned for announcements about speakers, field trips, presentation proposal deadlines, etc. We’re really looking forward to seeing you (in person or remotely) in New York!
