Subject: Opportunity for HS Physics/Phy Sci Teachers

ANNOUNCEMENT:
    Modeling Workshops in high school physics and/or physical science
will
be held in summer 2005 in Arizona, Florida, Hawaii, Massachusetts, New
York, and Wisconsin. Pending funding, they will be held in Georgia,
Ohio,
Kansas, and Virginia too. Visit <http://modeling.asu.edu> for details.
Click on "Modeling Workshops Nationwide in Summer 2005".
    Modeling Workshops are peer-led. Modeling Instruction is the only
high
school science program recognized by the U.S. Dept.of Education as
EXEMPLARY.
        ---------------------------------
ARIZONA:
High school physics teachers nationwide are invited to apply for FREE
tuition, FREE housing, and a stipend for these summer graduate courses
at
Arizona State University in Tempe (a suburb of Phoenix).

  Modeling Workshops in mechanics (June 13-July 1 or July 5-29)
  Modeling Workshop in chemistry (June 13-July 1)
  Modeling Workshops in electricity (CASTLE and microscopic models)
  Modeling Workshops in waves, light
  Modeling Workshop in 9th grade phys sci (Jn13-July 1 or July 5-Aug2)
  Energy & the Environment
  Integrated Chemistry & Physics
  Advanced Modeling Workshop
  Leadership workshop

Teachers may want to enroll in these courses to earn credit towards
re-certification, or to pursue an interdisciplinary
Master of Natural Science degree (MNS). Take one course or many!

Each summer, about 150 teachers (3/4 of whom don't have a degree in
physics)
participate. They express high satisfaction!
    They've said:
"I learned a tremendous amount and am all fired up to teach physics this
fall!"
"I learned more about teaching and physics this summer than in 5 years
of
college!"
"I LOVE this program!"

Visit <http://modeling.asu.edu> and scroll down to "ASU's graduate
program..."
for details. Bookmark the website for future reference.

Download the APPLICATION FOR FINANCIAL SUPPORT if interested. Don't
delay!
NSF funding for teachers is available in summer 2005, but not after
that.
(We have good family housing, by the way; & inexpensive!)

Cheers,
Jane Jackson
