Amgen Award For Science Teaching Excellence  
11/14/2005 09:31:21 Jeanette Palkovic
Hello,

My name is Jeanette Palkovic and I work in the Amgen Foundation for the biotechnology company, Amgen. As you may know, Amgen has a program that recognizes leadership in teaching in science for K-12 instructors. Winners of our program receive a $5,000 award in addition to their school receiving a $5,000 award to further science-related education. It's a small way to thank science educators for furthering science in the classroom.

Amgen opened nominations for the program last Thursday and further information can be found on our website, http://www.amgen.com/citizenship/aaste.html.

Although we have received excellent nominations from educators in the past, I don't believe this program is widely known across the nation.

Additionally, I have attached a flyer we have created this year that we wish to send out to science teachers who may be interested in the program. If this is something you could help us with, I would be so thankful.If this is something you could help us with, I would be so thankful.

The deadline for nominations is January 31, 2006.

To be eligible, nominees must:
* Be full-time, K-12 classroom teachers whose major responsibilities include teaching science
* Have at least three years of experience teaching science in grades K-12
* Work in communities where Amgen has key operating sites: California, Colorado, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Washington, or Puerto Rico

Thank you for your time.

Dear Colleagues,

We are interested in having the following summer 2005 teacher workshop outreached through teacher websites, list servers and newsletters. More info is available at the TORCH website:
http://www.environmentallearning.org/2005_TORCH_BC.htm.

Please let me know if I can provide the information in a different format or edited in a different manner.

Thank you,

David Silverberg

Environmental Learning Institute and Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship
Foundation is fielding professional development workshops in British Columbia, Canada. This summer 2005 workshop offers intermediate-secondary science educators opportunities to learn more about inquiry-based science education philosophy, pedagogy and
praxis and global environmental change while learning about a threatened North American ecosystem of global significance. Each course has a dual tract structure in biology and geology allowing the participant to
specialize in their discipline of interest. Geology and biology faculty supervise all courses. We invite applications from appropriate pre-service & in-service teachers, education and environment graduate
student, science education professors (teacher of teachers) and science education professionals (e.g. park, museum and outdoor center affiliated).
The workshops are possible due to the support of the Environmental Learning Institute (www.environmentallearning.org), Woodrow Wilson
National Fellowship Foundation, the New Mexico Institute of Mining & Technology Masters in Science Teaching Program and the Colorado School of
Mines Teacher Enhancement Program.

For more information about these professional development opportunities please visit the Environmental Learning Institute TORCH website
http://www.environmentallearning.org/2005_TORCH_BC.htm or email silverberg@alum.mit.edu.
Recertification and graduate science credits available. We can arrange for you to talk with previous participants.
Partial course fee fellowships available.

National Academies Article

Marian Murphy-Shaw asked me to post this message to the CISC list. She wants to share it because it is relevant to the conversation about the % of students currently
attending Community College who already had BA/BS but were still unemployable.

"Colleges and universities should reconsider courses and teaching approaches to
better prepare students for careers in biology and biomedical research, says a
report from the National Academies' Board on Life Sciences. Incorporating more
math, physics, chemistry, engineering and computer science into classes and
laboratory work and emphasizing independent research will help undergraduate
education reflect real-world science. Schools, professional societies and
funding agencies should develop new teaching materials and facilitate faculty
collaboration."
