Area Educators Complete Science in Motion Workshops at Westminster
Several area educators recently completed one of the six summer workshops held by the Westminster College Science in Motion program.
The Science in Motion (SIM) program is a state-funded partnership between higher education, technology, and local schools. The goal of the Westminster College Science in Motion program is to provide laboratory experiments, current instrumentation, and teacher support in Allegheny, Butler, Crawford, Lawrence, and Mercer counties.
"Workshops are a key component of the program because they allow the SIM mobile educators to meet with teachers and demonstrate new laboratory experiments designed for the classroom," said Stephanie Corrette-Bennett, biology mobile educator. "Currently, the Westminster College SIM program supports science education at the pre-school through high school level."
This year the summer program included two-day introductory workshops in biology, chemistry, physics, and elementary science for teachers who were new to the program. Advanced workshops were held in biology, chemistry and physics for teachers who previously participated in the SIM program.
Teachers from Hickory High School, Maplewood High School, Moon Township High School, Neshannock High School, New Castle Christian Academy, Seneca Valley Intermediate High School, Ursuline High School, Westminster College Pre-School Lab, and Wilmington Middle School participated in the summer workshops.
Workshops are also planned for the fall. These Saturday morning sessions are designed to help teachers re-acquaint themselves with the experiments and instrumentation before using them in their classrooms. Mobile educators include: Director Bernard Durkin, chemistry; Melissa Krenzer, elementary science; Dr. Floyd Zehr, physics; and Corrette-Bennett, biology.
