2014 Cal Poly Modeling Series
Jun 16, and 2014 – Jun 27, store 2014
Cal Poly University’s Center for Excellence in Science and Math Education (CESAME), and the Teacher Quality Partnership Grant (TQP) are pleased to offer three concurrent 2-week professional development courses this summer in: Physics Mechanics Modeling, Biology Modeling, and Chemistry Modeling.
These workshops are structured inquiry approaches to high school physics, biology & chemistry teaching that incorporate computer technology and insights from current content & education research.
Teachers will develop skills in fostering scientific discourse and presentation and in assessment of student learning. By designing and carrying out a series of investigations that use the Modeling Method teachers will practice Socratic questioning techniques that will enable them to teach physics, biology &/or chemistry using the Modeling Method.
$500 stipend for SLO & Northern Santa Barbara County Teachers!
