POSOH Project leadership from CMN, CESA 8 and UW-Madison are pleased to announce two upcoming teacher professional development summer institutes that are supported by our partnership project. Our work is a service for area school districts and community members in the CESA 7 & 8 region.
We invite you to take advantage of this engaging opportunity for teachers working with middle or high school learners to earn a stipend and collaborate in learning one of two innovative new units designed specifically for students in our area.
POSOH’s professional development is designed to provide time and support for teachers to work together and learn the project’s new Grade 7 and Grade 8 Science Units. POSOH’s science materials teach sustainability and ecology concepts in the context of the Menominee and Oneida Nation areas, engaging students in:
• active learning and critical thinking skills through scientific inquiry
• cultural learning and culturally relevant pedagogy
• literacy and math connections
• deep understanding of standards-based science concepts
What? 4-day Summer Institute plus 1 Saturday Fall Follow-up session (Date TBD by participants in June)
When? June 17-20, 8:30 am – 3:30 pm
Where? CESA 8, Gillett, Wisconsin
Who? Middle and High School Teachers in CESA 7 & 8 Area (all disciplines welcome)
Why? Professional learning: classroom science inquiry and integrating science with literacy and mathematics; collaborating with other elementary teachers in the area
How? E-mail Hedi Baxter Lauffer for more information about registration: hfbaxter@wisc.edu
Participants completing the institute and fall lesson study will receive a total stipend of $500, and there will be an option to purchase two Viterbo credits in fall upon completion of the course.
