Advancing Ohio’s Physical Science Proficiency VI Summer 2008 Courses (Ohio Teachers Only)
General Information
As a result of a grant from the Ohio Board of Regents, we’ll be offering workshops this summer specifically for Ohio teachers of grades K through 9. Yes, credit will be provided at no cost to you, but space in these workshops will be very limited.
The Advancing Ohio’s Physical Science Proficiency program is an opportunity tailor-made for you! The goal of this program is to help kindergarten through high school teachers empower their students to succeed in science. Participants will gain an edge in meeting new state requirements for science proficiency. The program will focus on standards-based physical science content and provide connections to students’ lives and possible career options while also building reading, writing, mathematics, and other cross-curricular skills. Through foundation-building instruction and continual support throughout the school year, teachers will be assisted in implementing project materials into their curriculum.
Advancing Ohio’s Physical Science Proficiency VI will be offered in two locations. The general information below applies to both offerings. Specific details for each location are provided in the sections that follow.
