Arizona State University offers:
-- a Modeling Workshop for post-secondary physics instructors on June 4-22.
Contact Michael.Politano@asu.edu, 480-965-3214, http://modeling.asu.edu.
-- a new summer program of graduate courses for high school physics and
physical science teachers. It's ideal for recertification, and it can lead
to a Master of Natural Science degree.
A rich offering of courses are in three categories: physics pedagogy,
interdisciplinary science, and contemporary physics. Participants will be
involved in a collaborative learning community.
Two summer sessions are June 11-29 and July 2 - Aug. 3. The program
includes Modeling Workshops in mechanics and second semester content on
June 11-29. A pending grant may defray costs. Bargain prices for tuition
and housing.
