Teachers: enroll in either or both of these two credit graduate classes and receive a tuition waiver and $150* stipend per class!
Participants will also be eligible to earn 2 fully-funded graduate credits from Miami University for completing iDiscovery online activities related to the summer course(s) during the school year!
These courses will be offered as Chemistry graduate course numbers with letter grading.
* These funds will cover minor university fees and can be used at your discretion to support your teaching.
The focus of these courses is on the elements of chemistry and physics addressed by the Ohio Department of Education Science Curriculum Standards.
The classes will examine key processes and topics and provide teachers with an opportunity to update their knowledge and training in Chemistry and/or Physics. Materials used in this course have been developed by local science teachers and faculty in chemistry and education from the University of Akron, Cleveland State University, Youngstown State University, and Kent State University. The classes will focus on key topics in Chemistry and/or Physics providing participants with a hands-on, student-centered learning environment featuring inquiry-based, collaborative learning exercises. Teachers are welcome to apply for one or both of the classes.
Intended Audience:
9th Grade Chemistry/Physics/Science Teachers
(Middle School teachers are welcome for places not committed to High
School teachers.)
Space in the classes is limited. To enroll, prospective participants must complete and return graduate application and tuition waiver forms for the University of Akron that are available on the NEOCEx Summer Workshop web site (links at left).
Update 6/6/08:
Both workshops are full with waiting lists.
If you have signed up for one or both of the workshops, watch your mail for a parking pass and a request to complete a pre-class survey. If you have signed up and can not attend, please let us know as soon as possible so someone on the waiting list can take your place.
