Are you a new science or mathematics teacher in grades 6-8? You are invited to join the Building Bridges project at OSU which helps connect university faculty with early career teachers! Participating teachers will meet 3 times through the 2008-09 year with faculty and graduate students from OSU and participate in an online support system for teachers. Workshop days will include classroom-ready inquiry based mathematics and science lessons and activities to enhance reflective teaching. Teachers will meet on the OSU-Tulsa campus November 21st and January 22nd and on the OSU-Stillwater campus April 6th for the annual Celebration of Teaching. At the Celebration of Teaching meeting, participating Building Bridges teachers will meet and interact with the National Teacher of the Year (who happens to be a science educator) and the Oklahoma Teacher of the Year (a mathematics educator). Enrollment in the workshop will be on a first come, first served basis. Teachers will receive lunch on each workshop day and school districts will be reimbursed for substitutes. Please feel free to contact the project administrators by email (see below) or by phone at 405-744-8050 if you have any further questions.
