CETP-PA Conference at Edinboro

August 14 - August 16

What?

This year's summer conference has the theme and title "Knowledge Under Construction: A Foundation Built Through Inquiry." Participants at previous CETP-PA Summer Conferences will notice many of the features that made past conferences such a success. These include knowledgeable keynote speakers and interesting break-out sessions. This year's keynote speakers include the Executive Director of the National Science Resources Center and a member of the executive staff in the educational outreach division of DuPont USA. The program also includes more than 60 exciting presentations, workshops, and poster sessions. This year's presenters were asked to link their talks in science, mathematics, and supervision to constructivist classroom methodology. The break-out sessions are scheduled to give participants opportunities to participate in a wide cross-section of presentations geared toward elementary, secondary, and post-secondary teachers of science, mathematics, and education.

When?

The conference will begin on the morning of Thursday, August 14, 2003 and will end before lunch on Saturday, August 16, 2003.

Where?

This year's conference will be held at Edinboro University of Pennsylvania.

Who?

Attendees include CETP-PA members from State System of Higher Education Universities, K-12 public and private schools, and others interested in improving science and mathematics education. Special exciting programs, including a beach bonfire party and a presentation and field trip, have been planned for CETP-PA teaching scholars.
