Continuing Education Course for Teachers
Current Topics in the Sciences of Educators
A Professional Development Course Offered through UAF!
The course coincides with the Science for Alaska Lecture Series, coordinated and sponsored by the Geophysical Institute at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. Science for Alaska is designed to bring current scientific topics and research to the community in terms everyone can understand. Lectures provide educators with current scientific material, while the course offers educators an opportunity to create classroom lesson plans based on lecture content.
All course activities may be done online using Blackboard. Blackboard allows course participants to post information about themselves, lecture synopses, classroom lesson and activity plans, questions, comments, and feedback to peers.
Teachers living outside of the Fairbanks area can participate in ED F593 too!
Starting in 2011, this course has been offered completely online through the UAF School of Education.
Lectures can be viewed on this site or on DVD. All six lectures and educational demonstrations must be viewed as part of the course.
