Teaching Fellowship FAQ
 

August 1-2, 2003

All of the Knowles Science Teaching Fellows met in August in Madison, Wisconsin. In addition to several joint sessions on high school science teaching, the 2002 fellows worked with Dr. Steve Oliver to design a series of lessons on force and motion. Each of them will teach these lessons in the coming academic year. The 2003 fellows worked with Dr. Collins to become more familiar with the Atlas of Scientific Literacy. They used the Atlas as a springboard for discussions on what it means to understand a science concept and to teach for understanding. The KSTF Teaching Fellows joined the Physics Teacher Resource Association (PTRA) of the American Association of Physics Teachers (AAPT) for a picnic supper one night. Jim Nelson, John Layman and Jack Hehn, in Madison for the AAPT meeting, spoke on the role of professional organizations in the life of a teacher. Several Fellows stayed for part of the summer AAPT meeting the next few days.
