Summer Workshop Plans
Minneapolis Public Schools Summer Workshop Agenda
Minneapolis Public Schools One to five days. How many teachers do you involve in your workshops? 12 to 30. What are your major goals for your workshops in terms of content and pedagogy? (Just one or two paragraphs) It of course depends on the workshop. Some of our workshops focus on specific content acquisition that support the curriculum we have in place. The major goal then for these workshops is content acquisition. Some workshops deal with using the science kits themselve and the objective of these workshops is partially pedagagical, part classroom management, & part content knowledge. Some of our workshops investigating instruction strategies that work with different learning styles. Of course, with the heavy emphasis on reading we are always trying to integrate using our manipulative science units into the reading curriculum. Are you offering professional development on specific curricula that you are hoping will be used in the classroom? If so, which curricula are you using? Combination of FOSS, STC, home grown modified ESS and SCIS units.
Summer Professional Development Opportunities June 17-18 June 21-25 June 21-25 Integrate electricity and magnetism with the literary arts, theater arts and the history of science.
