Comet and Mars Teacher Training 2007-2008 (Please check back or call for upcoming dates) (Please check back or call for upcoming dates) Prior to flying a Mission or e-Mission, the educator for each class will attend a half-day teacher orientation program at least one months before the date of their mission. At this workshop, educators will receive materials specifically designed to prepare the students for their mission. Educators receive 4 to 6 weeks worth of curriculum materials (including 10 lessons) to integrate into their studies in the weeks prior to their mission date. The pre-flight activities provided during orientation encompass a variety of interdisciplinary themes, from math and science, to the arts. It is this essential classroom component that lifts a mission or e-Mission from the confines of an everyday field trip. Dedicated to providing high-quality experiences for all learners, the Challenger Space Center helps educators create a simulated world for learning to excite and inspire kids about space, science and the world in which we live. Call or e-mail 623-322-2033/scheduler@azchallenger.net to schedule your Educator training. There is no cost for the Mission or e-Mission Educator Training. Educators can receive 4 CEU credits. In continuing the educational mission of the Challenger Crew, the Challenger Space Center offers a wide variety of educational programs, events and resources to educators near and far. Our unique facility offers a hands-on learning environment outside of the classroom, designed to evoke creativity and a passion for learning in kids of all ages. For those too far away to visit the Center, we offer one of a kind distance learning programs that integrate science and technology like never before. ©2005 Challenger Space Center • 21170 N 83rd Ave • Peoria, AZ 85382 |
