ESTEP for High School Teachers
Are you a high school science teacher looking to increase your content knowledge and teaching strategies so you can teach Earth Science? Thinking about taking the Earth and Space Science content exam to add a 9-12 ESS license? ESTEP is for you! ESTEP summer bootcamps are fast paced, one week, bootcamp style, regional workshops that focus on a specific set of earth and space science benchmarks AND the teaching strategies you will need as you make the shift to science sense-making with your students.
- Deepen your understanding of earth science concepts through investigations!
- Utilize 3-dimensional strategies by DOING the science!
- Begin building confidence in your unit and lesson planning!
- Collaborate and discuss how phenomena and storylines relate to particular investigations
June 26 - 30 at Fond du Lac Tribal and Community College, Cloquet (Physical Geology/Earth Systems). FULL! We are hoping to have information on a possible second Physical Geology/Earth Systems camp SOON!
