Calling all 8th grade science educators!
This January, Pacific Education and Research for Leadership in Science (PEARLS) are offering a 1-week all expenses paid workshop for 8th grade science educators. In subsequent years, workshop participants will be asked to return as peer mentors for the next respective grade level (2009, 7th grade; 2010, 6th grade). 8-10 new teachers from Hawaii and around the Pacific Basin will be selected to attend this all-expenses paid workshop each year.
The 5-year long project is funded by the Science Education Partnership Award (SEPA) and administered by the Area Health Education Center (AHEC) through the John A. Burns School of Medicine. The project group also includes the UHM Pre-Health Pre-Law Advising Center (peer mentoring organization) and the UH Curriculum Research & Development Group, currently working with the HIDOE to realign the Hawaii-based science standards to better reflect our cultural heritage and update current markers.
Download the flyer and application form here. The deadline for the application is Nov. 26th, 2008.
For questions or more information, please contact Dr. Vanessa Wong, Program Coordinator, at 808.692.1065 or email vanessa.wong@hawaii.edu.
