Summer Institute in Physics and Physical Science for Teachers
June 27-August 4, 2005 (dates tentative)
Dept of Physics, U of Washington, Seattle
The Center for Physics Education in the University of Washington Physics Department offers a six-week, 10-credit summer institute in physics and physical science for full-time inservice teachers. The 2005 institute is tentatively scheduled for June 27-August 4 at the UW in Seattle. Classes meet from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Monday-Thursday. Directed by Professor Lillian C. McDermott and supported by the National Science Foundation, the institute is tuition-free and a $1200 stipend is offered on successful completion of the course work. Additional money is available if needed to help defray the cost of lodging for persons from outside the Seattle area.
The Physics by Inquiry curriculum used in the course has been especially designed to strengthen the subject matter background of teachers in topics typically covered in precollege physics and physical science using a hands-on, inquiry-oriented method of instruction. The materials emphasize the development of fundamental concepts and reasoning skills through laboratory experience. The class is divided into two sections: one for elementary-middle school teachers with little or no background in physics; the other for high school teachers of physics, physical science, and mathematics.
For an application or information, contact Joan Valles, University of Washington, Department of Physics, Box 351560, Seattle, WA 98195-1560; (206) 685-2046; fax: (206) 543-9702; e-mail: peg@phys.washington.edu. Or see Web site: http://www.phys.washington.edu/groups/peg. Application deadline is March 15, 2005.
