Teacher Application

Application information for Summer 2009 workshops is now available! Preference is given to NC teachers, but there should be some spots for others. The deadline to apply is April 30. However, the workshops are likely to fill up before then. Last year we did take several people off the waitlist.

New Teachers Who Want to Learn Alice

This is a free one-week workshop to teach you Alice. This workshop is targetted towards K-12 teachers (mostly 5th-12th grade) that would like to learn how they can integrate the Alice programming language into their curriculum and their students can integrate Alice into projects. Teachers can integrate Alice into all types of disciplines: social studies, mathematics, language arts, science, technology, etc. The workhshop will be approximately 28-30 hours. You can only attend one of the weeks. The tentative schedule is:

Week 1: Monday, June 22-Friday, June 26, 9am-4pm
Week 2: Sunday, June 28 (1-6pm), Monday, June 27-Thursday, July 2 (9am-4pm)
Week 3: Monday, July 6 - Friday, July 10, 2009, 9am-4pm

There is no funds for lodging, but the workshop is free. Lunch (except Sunday) and breaks will be provided. One can receive education credits for attending the complete workshop.

NOTE: I have been flooded with applications for the one-week workshops for new teachers. If you apply after April 1, 2009, you are on the wait list and will not hear from me unless we have a spot available. If you applied on or before April 1, you will hear from me by April 15th (More likely by April 20th!) or earlier as to whether you got in. I have many more applications then I can take. There is a possibility we will open another workshop this summer and are likely to have additional workshops next summer. You can still apply and we will send you email if we open other workshops.
