Science Workshops for Teachers Via Television
Science teachers who want some free tutelage on how to
strengthen their techniques and make science as engaging as
possible can just turn on the TV.
As of last week, the Annenberg/CPB Channel--available by
satellite at no charge--began offering a series of live
interactive workshops for K-12 science teachers. The workshops
re to air Tuesdays, and repeat on Thursdays, for eight weeks
through April 15.
Led by Kathleen Fisher, a biology and education professor at
San Diego State University, each workshop focuses on one aspect
of teaching science, such as helping elementary and middle school
teachers who do not have a science background, eliciting students'
prior knowledge about science, and assessing student learning.
The workshops will also feature videotaped segments showing
science teachers at work in their classrooms.
The workshops are part of the programming that the
channel broadcasts Monday through Thursday during the school
year. The channel targets the improvement of
mathematics and science teaching and can be seen by
anyone with a satellite dish or by arrangement with a local
cable- television operator.
Launched in October, the channel now has a companion
World Wide Web site that went on-line in December. The site
is at www.learner.org/k12/acpbtv.
The channel is part of the Annenberg/CPB Math and Science
Project. To create the channel and Web site, the math and
science project has joined with the Harvard Smithsonian Center
for Astrophysics and the Massachusetts Corporation for
Educational Telecommunications. For more information, call
