ConocoPhillips and NEED (The National Energy Education and Development Project) have partnered for the
second year to provide teachers in 25 cities across 21 states with curriculum and training opportunities, and are pleased to announce the upcoming one-day energy classroom workshop to be held April 28, 2009 in Tulsa.
This workshop presents a unique opportunity for classroom teachers (K-12) to learn about energy in a fun and exciting way! The seminars will create awareness of today’s energy challenges and the importance of using energy wisely. Why participate in this workshop? Learning about energy — and teaching about energy — is vital to the future. This workshop provides valuable resources and training to teach energy in the classroom while meeting state and national education standards. NEED materials are designed to provide educators with the background and hands-on lessons needed to educate and energize students, encouraging an understanding of energy that is shared with their peers and their families.
Participation provides educators with a NEED Science of Energy Kit with hands-on equipment for teaching about energy transformations; a class-set of Energy Infobooks for student use; and a set of NEED curriculum materials for the classroom.
Thanks to the support of ConocoPhillips, there is no cost to attend the workshop. Breakfast, lunch and parking will be provided.
Substitute reimbursement forms will be available at the workshop and substitute costs will be reimbursed to school districts. If your district has a question about reimbursement, contact NEED at 1-800-875-5029. To register follow this link http://www.need.org/conocophillips/TulsaRegistration.pdf.
