International Professional Development Opportunity
The Rutgers University Physics Education Department and
the NJAAPT would like to announce an exciting international professional
development opportunity planned for the summer of 2011. Dr. Gorazd
Planinsic from Slovenia, will visit us in NJ this July 18th and
19th. Dr. Planinsic is a leader in undergraduate and
postgraduate physics education courses at the Department of Physics,
University of Ljubljana, as well as the Continuing Education program for
in-service secondary school physics teachers in Slovenia. He is
cofounder and collaborator of the Slovenian hands-on science center -
The House of Experiments.
The two day
program will begin with a talk in the afternoon of the 18thfollowed by a
full day (9-3) workshop on the 19th. During the talk Dr. Planinsic will
show some really cool experiments and during the workshop the
participants will learn how to analyze those experiments using the ISLE
(Investigative Science Learning Environment) approach, and how physics
teachers can turn some of their existing experiments into similar
activities.
Details on
registering for the just the talk or the talk and the workshop will be
posted at a later date – this preliminary notice is going out so you can
save the dates.
