Dear Bradley Wysocki,
Please note - The PTRA Program is offering $200 to teachers who complete this summer course at UW-River Falls. There are a limited number of these incentives available, so if you are planning to sign up for the course, please do not delay.
I am writing to let you know about a continuing education opportunity for Physics and Physical Science teachers to be offered at the University of Wisconsin - River Falls in June 2017. If this opportunity would be more appropriate for one of your colleagues, please pass it along to them.
Electromagnetic Forces and Interactions:
Inquiry Methods for Physics and Physical Science with NGSS
June 19-30, 2017 M-F 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM
The Physics department at the University of Wisconsin - River Falls and the American Association of Physics Teachers' PTRA program have provided in-service teachers with high quality, in depth, and useful educational experiences for nearly 30 years. This two week workshop focuses on teaching Physics and Physical Science courses that help students meet and exceed the Next Generation Science Standards for Forces and Interactions – using Electromagnetic Forces. Emphasis will be on Physics content knowledge, active learning techniques, and engineering design applications specific to the NGSS. The workshop may be taken as continuing education or to earn 3 graduate credits.
For more information and to register, please go to: www.uwrf.edu/PHYS/Summer.cfm
Please contact Lowell McCann (Lowell...@uwrf.edu) with any questions about this workshop.
Thank you,
Lowell McCann
