Re: Energy Workshop for Teachers! Register Today!!
ConocoPhillips and NEED have partnered for the third year to provide teachers in 26 cities across 20 states with curriculum and training opportunities, and are pleased to announce the upcoming one-day energy classroom workshop to be held October 11, 2010 in Anchorage from 8:00 – 3:30. ConocoPhillips and NEED believe it is important to provide professional development opportunities for classroom teachers and to provide engaging and exciting energy curriculum for students in today’s classrooms.
Why participate in this workshop? Learning about energy -- and teaching about energy -- is vital to the future. This workshop provides valuable resources and training to teach energy in the classroom while meeting state and national education standards. NEED materials are designed to provide educators with the background and hands-on lessons needed to educate and energize students, encouraging an understanding of energy that is shared with their peers and their families.
What do you receive at the workshop? Participation provides educators with:
- NEED Science of Energy Kit hands-on lessons about energy transformations
- A class-set of Energy Infobooks for student research
- A set of basic NEED curriculum materials to get you started
Thanks to the support of ConocoPhillips, there is no cost to attend the workshop and the following items are provided:
- Breakfast and Lunch
- Parking
- Substitute Reimbursement
- Classroom Curriculum materials
Substitute reimbursement forms are provided at the completion of the workshop. If you cannot attend the entire workshop, please plan on attending a future workshop. If your district has a question about sub reimbursement, contact NEED at 1-800-875-5029.
The NEED Project provides teacher-tested educational materials, evaluation techniques and tools, recognition of student achievement, and professional development for educators. NEED materials and training programs provide comprehensive, objective information about the scientific concepts of energy and the sources of energy, their use and their impact on the environment, the economy and society. All activities are correlated to state standards.
How to register for the workshop:
Be sure to register no later than October 4, 2010.
