Summer Workshop Plans
Summer Workshop Agenda
DESCRIPTION OF KEYSTONE ACTIVITIES
The agenda for the Introductory Level Institute is below. Also included is a bibliography of readings used in this workshop. The agenda for the Second Level (Field based experiences) Institute is on page 2.
Our grant is classroom-based with one mentor located at each school site. The mentor acts a liaison between the grant office and the school and as a resource and model for good science teaching. Several mentor meetings are held every year. Keystone also provides many grant-wide workshops during the school year. These are open to all Keystone teachers and administrators. They include computer technology, "Life in the Snow", kit-based demonstrations of teaching, design technology (assembly technology), science extravaganzas at the Museum, geology field trips and bus tours, research informational meetings, and other activities. Each school is provided a mini-grant which is spent on staff development according to individual school needs. Example of mini-grants are: sponsorships to attend national and regional meetings on a variety of science and technology issues, technology workshops on site, school presentations by staff on Keystone focuses.
