Designed specifically for preK – grade 2 teachers, this 3-day workshop will use internationally recognized supplementary curriculum, GEMS, to help increase content knowledge and skills in science. The GEMS guides presented in this workshop were developed by the staff at the Lawrence Hall of Science at the University of California, Berkeley. “The activities engage students in direct experience and experimentation to introduce essential, standards-based principles and concepts. Clear step-by-step instructions enable all teachers to be successful presenting the activities. GEMS units offer effective, practical, economical, and schedule-friendly ways to provide high-quality science and math learning to all students.” (www.lhsgems.org)
Registration fee of $50 includes 3 GEMS guides (Sifting Through Science, Bubble Festival, and Tree Homes). Lunch is on your own. Participants may purchase 1 hour of non-degree graduate credit ($160) from JCU for the summer session. If you participate in the online follow-on, you will receive (upon the successful completion of the class), at no cost, 2 hours of graded graduate credit from Miami University. (A full refund of registration fee will be given up to 2 weeks prior to the start of the workshop. If you cancel later than 2 weeks before the start of the workshop no refund will be given, however, you may arrange for a colleague to take your place and work out the finances with that colleague.)
