Register for Science in the Rockies July 8-10, 2009 – Denver, Colorado

It’s my favorite teacher training of the entire year – Science in the Rockies. It’s a three-day workshop held in the foothills just outside of Denver. The dates for this year’s workshop are July 8-10, 2009. The training typically attracts 150-200 elementary and middle school teachers who are looking for unique ways to make science more exciting and meaningful in their classrooms. At the core of the workshop is learning strategies and better practices for integrating science into an educator’s daily teaching routine.

Colorado has been home to this special science teacher training science 1991 when it was called the National Hands-on Science Institute. The campus of Regis University was the original home of this hands-on science workshop for teachers with Dr. Jim Giulianelli in the center ring. Many things have changed over the years in terms of professional staff development for elementary and middle school teachers, but getting students excited about science continues to be important to so many educators.
