Curriculum Topic Study at the Museum is a day-long class designed to help K-12 educators focus on what adults and students at all grade levels should know about specific scientific content areas.
Each session focuses on a different science topic. You will learn:
about the science content you teach;
how a developmentally appropriate grade-level hierarchy of concepts leads to adult science literacy; ways to take advantage of AMNH media and exhibits;
how local standards and curriculum relate to national standards and benchmarks;
effective strategies for teaching concepts and skills;
how to identify potential learning difficulties, common misconceptions, and developmental considerations; how to use curriculum topic study as an effective tool for curriculum design.
Cost is: $35 per participant. Includes a light breakfast and lunch.
