Title: Professional Development Opportunity: Sustainability in German and in STEM Classes
Body:
From the AATG-L listserv:
The Goethe-Institut has a brand new project entitled “Sustainability in German Class and in STEM Class”.
It is an advanced training program for teacher teams (one German teacher and one STEM teacher) in Germany this summer: http://www.goethe.de/ins/us/chi/enindex.htm
The STEM teacher doesn’t need to be in an official STEM program. He/She needs to be a science teacher, or a math teacher or a biology teacher…
You will learn about the topics of water, energy, resources and bio-diversity (all in English) and you will be introduced to new ideas on how to integrate Sustainability topics into your classroom. You will visit German Best Practice schools and have the opportunity to develop your own material and projects.
Additionally, there will be visits to the surrounding area (Luxembourg and Brussels).
All expenses (transatlantic flight and travel in Germany, tuition, accommodations, meals, excursions, and materials) will be covered by the Goethe-Institut!
If accepted into the program, each participant must pay a small fee of 150 €uros.
Application deadline is April 15, 2015.
If you have questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me:
