ABRC TRAINED Teacher Workshop
OSU's ABRC is hosting a daylong professional development workshop for middle and high school teachers as part of the TRAINED project, funded by a grant awarded to ABRC by the ASPB Education Foundation. The workshop will take place on May 12, 2012, from 8am- 3pm in Jennings Hall, room 024. This workshop will be led by Drs. Jelena Brkljacic, Emma Knee, and Marcelo Pomeranz. It is designed to familiarize teachers with the “Greening the Classroom” modules, which are composed of a series of hands-on activities, illustrating biological concepts and processes like inheritance, development and response to environmental conditions. Teachers will be introduced to both the technical aspects of each experiment as well as the scientific principles that underlie each module. At the end of the event, each teacher will be provided with a packet of materials necessary to repeat the modules with their students.
