Several openings remain for middle and high school teachers of science, chemistry, physics, mathematics and technology to attend next week’s (June 22-26) free professional development camp at Purdue University Calumet. The camp focuses on helping teachers more effectively interest their students in applied science.
Supported by the ASM Materials Education Foundation, the camp instructs teachers how to easily integrate everyday materials into existing lesson plans and to conduct low/no cost simple labs and experiments to engage students.
An application is available at http://www.asminternational.org/web/guest/foundation/teachers/teacher-material-camps/schedule.
Teachers who complete the camp will earn four CEUs or 50 PGPs. Materials, lunch and snacks will be provided.
Camp support is provided by ASM International, ASM Calumet Chapter, Purdue University Calumet, AIST, AIST Midwest Chapter, NACE and the Legacy Foundation.
