Here are some MORE wonderful professional development opportunities. Some are free, some have cost involved, some give you
generous stipends and many involve travel to fantastic places!
Each one of you work so hard...now it's your turn to play hard!
Get involved and spend some of your free time taking up one of these opportunities that are sure to create memories that will last a lifetime.
1. Full-time teachers grades 7-12: The National World War I Museum Teacher Fellowship program is really good -I did it! It's also FUNDED. BTW, the museum is in Kansas City, not DC. The fellowship dates are June 24-27, but the application deadline is Apr. 5 (and there are a lot of parts to it). For more information, go to: https://theworldwar.org/
2. Full-time middle school and high school teachers (with at least 3 years of teaching experience): The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign has a FUNDED week-long summer program (July 13-18) as part of their Bridging Cultures Initiative. U.S. teachers will get the chance to interact with foreign teachers from 20 different countries in order to enhance your ability to infuse your curriculum with multicultural perspectives. The program, accommodations, and some meals are provided, as well as a small stipend and some travel costs, if necessary. But space is limited. To find out more and to apply, go to: http://cgs.illinois.edu/
3. This one is for high school students: an intensive 6-day course at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, from June 14-15, on ""Sustainable Futures: Sustainability in a Global Context." Students get to live on campus, attend programs, and get 1 college credit for doing it. The cost is $1000; however, there are need-based scholarships available. For more information, go to: http://publish.illinois.edu/
4.Framingham State University is the host of a day-long science extravaganza for learners of all ages.
The on-street From the Earth to the Universe exhibit of breathtaking astronomical images will guide visitors to family-friendly science and engineering explorations scattered across the university's green, leafy campus.Activities include hands-on experiences in biology, chemistry, physics, food science, robotics and engineering. Featured presentations and talks from FSU faculty and invited scientists, conversations and performances that explore the interaction between science and the arts, and stunning HD planetarium programs are also on the schedule.
