Teachers Workshop Planned at Williams Observatory - November 25, 2007
WILLIAMSTOWN - The Williams College astronomy department will offer a two-day teachers' workshop, Feb. 11-12, at the college's Hopkins Observatory.
The workshop can accommodate about 20 schoolteachers of all age groups. The full cost of attendance, as well as for substitutes for teachers' classrooms, will be covered.
The programming for the workshop includes a general overview of the
study of the solar system as well as grade-appropriate activities,
discussions and demonstrations linked to the Massachusetts Frameworks
for Science and Technology.
Teachers will receive a tour of the observatory and an introduction to the Zeiss planetarium projector at the Milham Planetarium.
The workshop will be led by professor Jay Pasachoff and Shawn Burdick of Mount Greylock Regional High School, with planning assistance from Linda Wagner.
Teachers interested in more information or in attending the workshop
should call Barbara Swanson at Williams College, 413-597-2188.
Burdick has arranged for Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts to provide either graduate credit or professional development points for participating teachers.
The workshop has been made available through a grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. Additional funding for the workshop is provided through a grant from
the Howard Hughes Foundation.
Funds also are available to support individual classes coming to the
planetarium, including bus expenses. For mo |
