Science and Mathematics Data Analysis
(SAMDA) for grades 1-6 teachers

July 6-9, 2009
8:00am - 4:00pm

Open to teachers of mathematics and science in grades 1-6, this workshop will develop your understanding of how to fully integrate mathematics with science using data analysis techniques. Lunches, books, and other take-home educational materials will be provided. You will have an opportunity to learn how to design hands-on, inquiry lessons that generate data and then practice non-formulaic methods of analyzing the data. All the lessons and materials are aligned to benchmarks from the Ohio Academic Content Standards.

Participate in a one week summer workshop July 6-9, 2009. Then during  fall, 2009 participate in an iDiscovery online class to extend your learning and practice implementing SAMDA lessons. Upon completion of the summer workshop, you will receive a stipend of $100. Participants may purchase 2 hours of graded non-degree graduate credit ($160 per credit hour) from John Carroll University for the summer session. Upon the successful completion of the online class, you will earn 2 hours of graded graduate credit from Miami University at no cost.

Priority will be given to teams of teachers from our partner districts: Painesville City and Warrensville Heights. The maximum enrollment is 24. We are inviting 8 teachers from each of our partner districts to register by April 15, 2009. Additional priority will be given to teams of teachers from the same building. After April 15, unfilled seats will be open to all grade1-6 teachers.

To register: Send a completed registration form and a $60 check or money order (made payable to JCU) to the address below. A $50 registration fee will be assessed by Miami University when you register for iDiscovery class.
