**Other NC Professional Development Programs**
SITE: K-2 Science institutes focus on the three science curriculum modules that run through the NC Science Standard Course of Study for Grades K-2. The Institute modules include: Earth Systems, Force & Matter, and Living Organisms.
This Institute will run 5 days in summer 2009. There will be two optional follow ups on Saturdays, one fall 2009 and one spring 2010.
Dates: August 3- 7
Time: 8:30 am - 3:30 pm
Location: UNCW Watson School of Education, Room 223.
Instructors: Mr. Brian Brinkley, UNCW Watson School of Educ. and Ms. Ambie Hower,
NHCS
Registration: $400
($80/day covers workshop instruction, materials
and lunch)

K-5 Algebraic Reasoning
This professional development workshop is designed to demystify algebraic
reasoning for the elementary school teacher so that they may better prepare
students for middle and high school algebra.
Algebraic reasoning is a study of patterns (sorting and classifying, extending
and creating patterns), equations and inequalities (number sentences and number
properties), and functions (relations and rate of change). The concept of
variable is inherent in each of the three components of algebraic reasoning.
The workshop will be conducted as part of the BRIDGES project with Onslow County
Schools and Carteret County Schools. Instruction will be given in a problem solving manner that emphasizes
multiple representations of algebra and the processes of reversibility,
flexibility, and the ability to generalize.
Participants will be engaged in analyses of student thinking and assessment
results in algebra. In addition to extending teachers’ knowledge of algebraic
reasoning, the workshop reinforces connections with the National Council of
Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) Principles and Standards and the North Carolina
Standard Course of Study (NC SCOS).
Instructor: Dr. Shelby
Morge, UNCW WSE
Dr. Ginger Rhodes, UNCW Math and Statistics
Date:
June 29—July 2, 2009
Registration
is through Onslow County Schools and Carteret County Schools.
SITE: 3-5 Science
SITE: 3-5 Science institutes focus on the four major science themes that run
through the NC Science Standard Course of Study for Grades 3-5,
energy/forces/motion, ecology, weather & climate, and the rock cyle.
The content
focus of this 5 day session will be on Energy/Forces/Motion (light, heat,
magnetism & electricity, forces & motion).
This Institute will run 5 days in summer
2009. There will be two follow ups on Saturdays, one fall 2009 and one
spring 2010.

Marine Biotechnology - High School
This workshop is currently filled. Check the North Carolina Biotechnology Center's website for other available programs.
http://www.ncbiotech.org/summerworkshops/
Marine biotechnology can be defined as the use of marine
organisms or their components to solve human problems. Because most living
organisms inhabit marine environments, the oceans are a valuable, and yet under-tapped, resource for present and future biotechnologies. This workshop will
follow the path of advancement in marine biotechnology—from exploration, to
cultivation and isolation, and commercialization—to investigate specific
examples of how marine biotechnology affects our environment, energy, and
health. The workshop will come full circle and conclude with discussion and
activities on marine conservation efforts to preserve ocean resources.
(Completion and signature of a release form for the UNCW Research Vessel is
required for participation.)
Dates: Monday - Thursday, June 29 -
July 2
Time: 8:30 am - 3:30 pm
Location: UNCW Center for Marine Science
Instructors: Dr. Sonja Pyott, UNCW Dept. of Biology and Marine Biology, Dr. Tim
Henkel, UNCW CMS, Ms. Zoe Welsh, Master Teacher, Ravenscroft School, Raleigh
Registration fee: $75.
Stipend: $50/day
This workshop is supported through funding from the North Carolina Biotechnology
Center.
Registration is made through the North Carolina
