Attention teachers of physics, chemistry, physical science, & math!

June 7, 2021

Arizona State University 

For summer 2021, ASU offers LIVE REMOTE & IN-PERSON courses for professional development. These are ideal courses to meet re-certification requirements, qualify to teach Dual Enrollment/Adjunct two-year college (TYC), and become highly qualified in physics or chemistry. They can count towards the ASU interdisciplinary Master of Natural Science degree (MNS) in physics, & graduate degrees in education. TYC, CTE, and pre-service teachers find these courses useful, too. 3-dimensional learning!

Top priority to tuition-paying participants; 2nd priority for Arizona teachers who take for Continuing Ed.

* Apply after January 2021 for a partial tuition scholarship. We have funds for AZ teachers! http://physics.asu.edu/content/partial-tuition-scholarship-mnsmodeling-instruction-courses

* Or reserve a seat after Jan. for non-credit ($400; need not apply to ASU. $200 if out-of-pocket AZ) http://physics.asu.edu/content/modeling-instruction-application-reserve-seat-ceu

Modeling Instruction is designated as an Exemplary K-12 science program & Promising Technology program by the U.S. Department of Education. It is rated an Accomplished STEM program by Change the Equation. It won the “Excellence in Physics Education” award of the American Physical Society.
