[Catalist] Einstein-First Teacher Workshops

[Jyoti Kaur]

Dear teacher,



This email is to let you know about two Einstein-First initiatives to help you prepare for 2022.



Free workshops to prepare for 2022



Free professional learning to prepare to teach the Einstein-First Year 3 to 5 modules next year and also to participate in the Year 6 Integrated Program focusing on Climate Change and Alternative Energy for the future. Summary details are as follows and full details are in the attached flyer.



Workshop 1: Teaching Year 3 Atom Frenzy and Hot Stuff and Year 5 Fantastic Photons and Our Place in the Universe Einstein-First modules in 2022


Date: Thursday, 18 November from 8.30am to 4.00pm

Workshop location: G18 on the ground floor of the UWA Physics building

Parking: paid parking off Fairway, Hackett Drive and Carpark P3 (see attached)

Purpose: To familiarise teachers with the key concepts to be taught and to provide opportunities to ‘work through’ each of the activities to be taught in the Year 3 (Atom Frenzy and Hot Stuff) and Year 5 (Fantastic Photons and Our Place in the Universe) Einstein-First modules.



Workshop 2: Teaching Year 4 May the Forces be with You module and the proposed Year 6 Climate Science and Sustainable Energy Production modules in 2022

Date: Thursday, 25 November from 8.30am to 4.00pm

Purpose

To familiarise teachers with the key concepts to be taught and to provide opportunities to ‘work through’ each of the activities to be taught in the Year 4 (May the Forces be with You) module and the proposed Year 6 Climate Science and Sustainable Energy Production modules currently being developed.



Workshop location: Both workshops will be held in G18 on the ground floor of the UWA Physics building (see map on flyer)

Catering: Tea, coffee and biscuits will be available on arrival and for morning tea. As there is no workshop charge we ask participants to supply their own lunch.

Parking: paid parking off Fairway, Hackett Drive and Carpark P3 for both workshops (details on flyer)



  1.  Einsteinian Science for Primary School Teachers Micro-credential



This micro-credential is designed for primary school teachers and other educators interested in changing the way science is taught at an early age through the introduction of modern Einsteinian concepts of space and time, gravity and quanta. These concepts are rarely taught to school students despite their importance to modern science and technology.



The attached flyer provides an overview of the program and more details are available at:

We look forward to seeing you at one or both of the workshops and hope you will consider enrolling in our new Einsteinian Science for Primary School Teachers micro-credential course.



I hope you have a smooth end to 2021 and productive planning time for 2022.



Thank you.
