I am not a HS teacher, but I am interested in teaching and am
involved in providing OJT and classroom sessions for telecom and satcom
technicians. How would I be able to participate in the courses? I'd be
pleased to pay my way.
Thanks

If you teach high school physics or chemistry, you're invited to apply for
free tuition, free housing, and a stipend for these summer grad courses at
Arizona State University in Tempe.
Modeling Workshops in mechanics (June 14-July 2 or July 6-30)
Modeling Workshop in electricity (CASTLE and microscopic models)
Modeling Workshop in waves, light
Modeling Workshop in 9th grade physical science
Energy & Environment
Physics & Astronomy
Integrated Math & Physics
Light & Electron Optics (taught by Regents Prof. David Smith)
Structure of Matter & its Properties
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!
Modeling Workshops are peer-led. Modeling Instruction is the only high
school science program recognized by the U.S. Dept.of Education as
EXEMPLARY.
Courses are cutting-edge, yet practical; taught by ASU faculty and
Teaching
Associates (TAs), expert high school teachers who develop activities for
the H.S. classroom.
Two summer terms: June 14-July 3, July 6 - Aug. 3, 2004.
In summer 2003, 157 teachers (3/4 of whom don't have a degree in physics)
participated. They expressed high satisfaction!
They 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!"
"It has given me a NEW way of looking at how light interacts with matter."
"I LOVE this program!"

Don't delay! Teacher funding is available this summer and next, but
uncertain after that. (We have good family housing, by the way; &
inexpensive!)
Cheers,
