The object is to get them to look at their classroom lesson plans in a different light. A child with a disability can learn just like their peers, but in different ways. A science experiment involving reaching or standing isn't the best learning path for a child who is mobility impaired. However, that doesn't mean there isn't another way to do the experiment, or a different experiment that could teach the same scientific principles and would include all the students in the class. Teachers who attend any one of these three workshops gets a stipend, classroom ready resources, and management ideas.
Workshops are free, but enrollment is limited.
This year's workshops are full, but enrollment has already begun for July 31 and August 1, 2001. The Museum is closed Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Eve, and Christmas Day. The last ticket is sold one hour prior to closing.
