Below is an example of a situation where university faculty REALLY WANT to
provide professional development for high school physics teachers, but they
can't do it because NO funds are available.
Please e-mail or call your Congressman to oppose the Straight A's Act, so
that your state will have prof. development funds for science teachers next
year.... It takes 3 minutes.

Hi Jane,
I sent a copy of your e-mail about the modeling workshops to Tom
Smithson at CSU Sacramento. The following is his reply. If you have
some ideas for funding, could you forward them to him.
Thanks,
Bob
Message to Bob Baker from Tom Smithson
Bob,
We have been very interested in doing this for the past 2 years, but
the funding has been the problem. There are no Eisenhower funds
available in California to fund the workshop. Both Mike and I have
been looking for other sources and short of charging people to come,
we have run out of ideas.
