Summer Institute in Physics and Physical Science for Inservice Teachers
June 23-July 25, 2014 (tentative)
Department of Physics, University of Washington, Seattle
The Center for Physics Education in the University of Washington Physics Department offers a five-week, 10-credit summer institute in physics and physical science for full-time inservice teachers. The 2014 institute is tentatively scheduled for June 23-July 25 at the UW in Seattle. Classes meet from 9 a.m. to 3:45 p.m. Monday-Thursday, except for occasional Fridays. Directed by Professor Lillian C. McDermott and supported by the National Science Foundation, the institute is tuition-free. Additional money may be available if needed to help defray the cost of lodging for persons from outside the Seattle area.
The Physics by Inquiry curriculum used in the course has been especially designed to strengthen the subject matter background of teachers in topics typically covered in precollege physics and physical science using a hands-on, inquiry-oriented method of instruction. The materials emphasize the development of fundamental concepts and reasoning skills through laboratory experience. The class is divided into two sections: one for elementary/middle school teachers who may have little or no background in physics; the other for high school teachers of physics, physical science, and mathematics.
The application deadline is February 28, 2014.
