NEW BIOSITE TEACHERS: BioSITE Teacher Training 2009-2010

When: October 10, 2009
Where: Children's Discovery Museum
Time: 9 A.M. - 4 P.M.
** special Open House 2 P.M. - 4 P.M.
RSVP: to sderby@cdm.org

Welcome to our amazing world of BioSITE. We hope you are ready to engage your students in some real world, hands on - minds on inquiry! This training will help you prepare for a full year of science education you and your students are going to love.

In the morning, we will be sharing with you all the essential BioSITE Program materials that you will be using. We will work our way through a full BioSITE year, introducing the content of each unit and mapping out every field day. We will also walk you through student field journal pages so that you can begin to plan in class journal time for reflection and extension.

You will also have the opportunity to explore a few of the favorite activities your students will be doing. We will take this opportunity to brainstorm how to make this suit your students here and now. What is the most important content to focus on? What skills do your students need to practice? How can we make this a lasting process for our students?

Next, Anna George will be helping explore the BioSITE teacher Blog so that you know how to easily access important information and resources.

We will provide lunch- so don't forget to RSVP!

Right after lunch we will break into small program groups to make sure you don't have any questions left unanswered!

And last, from 2 - 4 p.m., we will have a BioSITE Open House to share the kit materials available for check out. During this time you can sign up for kits and sign up for ACE field days.

We hope to make this training the kick start that you need to set up your BioSITE year. Our goal is to make sure you are prepared to help your students understand the true meaning of being River Guardians- now and in the future.
