CONNECTIONS

=**STEM Connections ‘08**=

**Continuing Support Workshop Series**
Project Goals: To continue supporting the energy and inspiration gained from sharing with a community of respected colleagues. To provide a safe environment for reflection and review of your own learning and teaching. To give support for you to extend your knowledge to fellow teachers in your district or school system. To make connections to resources in support of NBCT or PAEMST applications.

Project Plan: Teachers who have completed the STEMming the Gap Workshop Series are invited to participate in a series of additional workshops to provide continuing support and exchange amongst our strongly developed community of teachers. Current plans are to provide the support and equipment for video-taping your classroom teaching, working with the RTOP (Google it!) strategy for evaluating classroom practice, continued work with Curriculum Topic Study, open exchange of good ideas and activities, and support from Annette to extend any of what we’ve done to your school system for an Inservice Day.

**Reminder Reading**:
Also a nice review of the text by Bransford et al., [|How People Learn, summary & book review]

Here's the chapter from the NSTA book-- all chapters are downloadable on the [|NSTA site]. I found this one particularly insightful.
