[NMScience] FW: Free Workshop in Albuquerque

[Ellen Loehman]

Science Educators,
 
ConocoPhillips and NEED have partnered for the second year to provide
teachers in 25 cities across 21 states with curriculum and training
opportunities, and are pleased to announce the upcoming one-day energy
classroom workshop to be held on March 11, 2009 in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
This workshop presents a unique opportunity for classroom teachers (K-12) to
learn about energy in a fun and exciting way! The seminars will create
awareness of today¹s energy challenges and the importance of using energy
wisely.
 
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 a
NEED Science of Energy Kit with hands-on equipment for teaching about energy
transformations; a class-set of Energy Infobooks for student use; and a set
of NEED curriculum materials for the classroom.
 
Thanks to the support of ConocoPhillips, there is no cost to attend the
workshop. Breakfast, lunch and parking will be provided. Substitute
reimbursement forms will be available at the workshop and substitute costs
will be reimbursed to school districts. If your district has a question
about reimbursement, contact NEED at 1-800-875-5029.

We look forward to seeing you at the workshop.  Feel free to share with your
colleagues.
