Dear Teaching Colleague,
We are pleased to announce the 31st Annual High School Physics and Physical Sciences Teachers Meeting at the University of Maine, to be held at the UMaine campus in Orono on Friday, March 11, 2011.
All physics and physical science teachers in the state of Maine are invited to join us – as are math teachers and others interested in attending. Please join us!
Our goal is to bring together Maine physics and physical science teachers to discuss issues of teaching and learning, to share new demonstrations and teaching ideas, to showcase ways to get involved at the university, and to promote interactions between all involved parties. We will have presentations, workshops, tours of campus, and give-aways that include materials you can use in your classroom. Of particular interest to us this year is the interface between middle and high school physical science teaching. Workshops are planned in which we bring together middle and high school teachers to discuss learning across the grades.
Bring your physics and physical science colleagues. We hope that high school and middle school teachers, physics and physical science teachers can attend!
We will be able to give 0.5 CEU (continuing education units) for participation in this meeting. If you wish to receive this 0.5 CEU you must: (a) attend the events of the meeting (of course!) and (b) pick up your certification at the end of the meeting. There is no advance paperwork on your part; however, there is a $10.00 fee to have the credits registered.
We look forward to seeing you on March 11. Please RSVP to Pat Byard in the department of physics: Patricia.Byard@umit.maine.edu or 581-1039. She will give you further information about parking, for example. If you have questions, please contact Michael C. Wittmann at mwittmann@maine.edu.
