Maine physics, physical science and math teachers are invited to attend the Annual High School Physics and Physical Science Teachers Meeting at UMaine in Orono. This event is hosted by the University of Maine Department of Physics and Astronomy, the Maine Center for Research in STEM Education (RiSE Center), and the University of Maine College of Education and Human Development.
At the conference, facilitators and teachers will discuss issues of teaching and learning, showcase demonstrations and teaching ideas, and share ways to get involved at the university.
The cohort is able to offer 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.
