Our goal at The University of Maine is to be an active resource to help you in your teaching. To meet this goal, we will have workshops, panel discussions, and an opportunity for you to present your teaching and your work during our meeting.
Some of this year's presenters:
- Ralph Newell, South Portland HS
- Robin Kennedy, Director, Challenger Center of Bangor
- Better Manchester, Director of Special Projects, Maine Department of Education
- Neil Comins, Professor of Physics and Astronomy
Workshops:
- Cross Tier Team Teaching in mathematics
- Exploring approaches to Newton's Third Law
Plus:
- Information about and examples from the Mainely Physics Road Show
- Tour of the new Engineering Science and Research Building
- Huge *New Book* giveaway
There's still time! If you'd like to contribute a paper or show a demo, get in touch!
Your presentations would be 10 to 20 minutes long (unless otherwise arranged). Also, we expect to have a lengthy panel discussion to talk about issues raised during the meeting.We look forward to your participation. Please contact us as soon as possible (at the telephone or email contacts listed below), and we will discuss further details for the meeting.
We expect that, as in years past, we will be able to give 0.5 CEU (continuing education units) for participation in this meeting. If you wish to receive this 0.5 CEU you must: (a) attend the events of the meeting and (b) pick up your certification at the end of the meeting. There is no advance paperwork on your part; however, there is a $5.00 fee to have the credits registered.
We hope that you can attend this meeting and urge you to bring along additional teaching colleagues. We look forward to seeing you on May 13th.
Sincerely,
David Batuski, Chair of the Department of Physics and Astronomy
