This is just to inform you that there will be a modeling workshop for

mechanics this summer in Royal Oak, MI.    The workshop will run

weekdays from 8am - 4pm June 24-July 15 (no class on July 5).  The

cost will be only $70 for the 3 weeks (thanks to Oakland ISD, Macomb

ISD and Wayne RESA).  SB-CEUs and/or graduate credits will be

available for an additional fee.  This workshop is appropriate for

both newer and veteran teachers--basically anyone who is interested in

learning about the modeling approach to teaching.  (To read more about

what "modeling" is: visit Arizona State's website:

http://modeling.asu.edu)

Don Pata (Grosse Pointe North High School) will be the lead presenter

for the workshop and I will be assisting him.  For those of you who do

not know Don, he is a very experienced modeler who has presented at

several local and national conferences.  He also co-developed the

Physics of Cell Phones and Wireless Devices curriculum with Mark

Davids and Rick Forrest.

If you are interested in applying for this workshop, please read the

attached flier and application for more details.  Please complete the

application using Word and email it to Mike Gallagher

(Mike.Gallagher@oakland.k12.mi.us) by April 10th.

If you think you may need help finding housing for this time period,

you may contact me (lritter77@gmail.com).  We will not be able to

cover the cost, but if enough people think they may need a hotel room,

we may be able to get a discounted rate somewhere.

Have a great weekend!  (Stay tuned for the info about the next DMAPT meeting!)
