NC Sept. PD Opportunity from AAAS Project 2061: "Using Atas for Science Literacy" Workshop

Do you want to learn more about AAAS's Atlas of Science Literacy, Vol. 1 & 2 and how to put it to use to improve curriculum, instruction, and assessment? AAAS Project 2061 is offering its next popular professional development workshop "Using Atlas of Science Literacy" in September at the Museum of Life + Science, Durham, NC.
 

Developed by AAAS Project 2061, the two-volume Atlas of Science Literacy contain 100 strand maps that present conceptual connections among the ideas and skills that all students should learn as they make progress toward science literacy. Designed for K–12 science teachers, curriculum specialists, and other educators and researchers, the workshop gives participants a new perspective on standards-based reform based on understanding the maps, clarifying standards, changing classroom practice, and improving curriculum. Atlas of Science Literacy is copublished by AAAS and NSTA.
 

Earlybird rates are available and a limited number of scholarships are available, too—so don't wait! For more details and a registration form go to the workshop information page; for information about scholarships and deadlines, click here.
 

If you can't make this date but would like to attend an Atlas workshop later this year, an October workshop will be held in Washington, DC at AAAS Headquarters.
