New England Regional IPS Workshop
SCI
is pleased to offer a two-week workshop for science teachers based
on the Eighth Edition of Introductory Physical Science (IPS). The
program follows the schedule of the popular residential workshop
given annually at the Colorado School of Mines (CSM) in Golden, Colorado.
Optional continuing- education credit from CSM is available. The
program is aimed primarily at recent and potential IPS teachers in
the eighth and ninth grades, but it will be very beneficial to any
science teachers who wish to deepen their understanding of the foundations
of physical science and its teaching methods.
