You will need three letters of recommendation. I found this one late and the time has past, but it might be worth while checking out and planning for next year. All travel, lodging and meal expenses are covered. Teachers who participate are expected to use what they learn at the workshops in their teaching in the 2000-2001 school year. There is a follow-up conference in the fall.
Teachers make presentations.
Expenses for the fall conference are also covered. These workshops in the life sciences each address a different subject for grades 3-12. The courses are held at the Bronx Zoo and graduate credit is available. K-8 teachers, all subjects. The application deadline is March 15, 2000.
