615 network forum: Details for 7/28

Below are the details on our next networking forum. Please let me know any questions or comments you have. You know how bad I am with details; so, watch for a "Final Details" post that clarifies any issues I've missed.

Date: Tuesday, July 28
Time: 9:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m.
Location: The Oak Mountain Interpretive Center at Oak Mountain State Park
Cost: $3 (to cover your park admission)
Topic: Starting the Year Off with Inquiry

What to bring:
  • Lunch
  • Drinks for the day
  • paper & pen
  • USB drive (optional)

What to expect:
  • A nice preview of the Oak Mountain Interpretive Center and information on how you can tap this resource in your teaching.
  • Good, practical tips that will help you get your school year started right.
  • A chance to connect with old friends from UAB. A chance to make new friends from some of the area's best science teachers.
  • Help in improving your teaching, including professional development that moves you closer to achieving National Boards in science.
What do I need to do in advance:
  • RSVP, if at all possible, just so PLM knows a general sense of how many are coming. Making a quick comment here is all you need to do, or you can send him an e-mail.
  • Check in with your UAB friends to make sure that they've gotten the information about this session. (Many of them have disappeared from PLM's list.)
  • Let PLM know if you want to bring a teacher who isn't part of the 615 network. They're welcome, as long as there's enough room.
Special notes about getting to the Interpretive Center:
  • You can enter the park from the main gate or from the back gate (off Highway 119 just west of Oak Mountain Middle School).
  • Don't speed in the park! They'll pull you over.
  • Signs clearly lead you to the Interpretive Center. It's located by the Alabama Wildlife Center across from the main lake in the center of the park.

Unfortunately a family obligation will keep me away.. Keep me on the list, though, for future network meetings - I hate that I have to miss this one!
