Teacher Workshop 2009

 
 
AirUCI's fifth annual Teacher Workshop will be held June 22 — July 2, 2009 on the UCI campus.  We are honored that our program has been cited by the National Academy of Sciences as exemplary, and that we've been included in their publication, Strengthening High School Chemistry Education through Teacher Outreach Programs, viewable online at
http:www.nap.edu/catalog.php?record_id=12533 where the vital importance of public school chemistry teachers is discussed.

About the Course
 This is an intensive Environmental Chemistry program, geared for science teachers in grades 7-12.   Priority is given to teachers in districts local to UC Irvine and to high school teachers.

The class is open to any qualifying teacher, but unfortunately AirUCI cannot provide assistance with lodging or transportation.  For teachers outside our area, you might visit http://www.housing.uci.edu/hoteluci to see if there is housing available on campus, but we cannot make these arrangements.

The course includes morning lectures presented by leading researchers in the field of Atmospheric Chemistry and afternoon environmental analysis projects in our labs. 

Attending teachers receive:

  • A $1000 stipend
  • University credit through UCI Extension
  • Textbook
  • Class materials in print and CD format
  • Lunch each day
  • Free parking
  • Pairing with an AirUCI researcher for the school year

For details about the workshop, please contact Professor Sergey Nizkorodov at 949-824-1262 or Melissa Sweet at 949-824-2628.
