This event is hosted by the Center for Science, Mathematics, and Computer Education through funding from the Dwight D. Eisenhower Professional Development Program. The one-day conference offers Nebraska teachers the opportunity to add to their content knowledge and increase the number of strategies they have to teach good science. In addition, this conference will help teachers network with other science educators and higher education content experts. This should provide ongoing discussion opportunities on how to respectfully deal with differing points of view. In addition to the speakers, participants will attend two of six interactive, repeatable workshops.
Registration is free.
Lodging is available for participants traveling in excess of 100 miles roundtrip. The conference will be held at the downtown Lincoln Holiday Inn.
