If you have expertise
you'd like to offer as a course through SII, we'd love to hear from
you. Or if there's a topic you'd like to see covered, let us know
and we'll try to develop a new course along the lines you suggest.
Just send us an e-mail
providing the information requested below:
- Your name
and contact information (if by phone, please include best times
to call you):
- Title of
your proposed course:
- Brief summary
of course (along the lines of the catalog descriptions for current
courses):
- Explanation
of how this course fits within the framework of the "science integration"
theme. [Please note that our courses focus specifically on
helping participants use the process of science, and the insights
gained about the universe by modern science, as tools to help
them develop realistic and meaningful views of their role in the
universe. Many presentations of science-related topics are interesting
and valuable but may not fall within this specific scope of our
programs. For more information about the context for our perspective
on science education please visit the About
Us section of our web site.]:
- If this is
a course you are proposing to teach, please provide a summary
of your qualifications:
- How many sessions
are in your proposed course, and how long will each last? (1-4
sessions, 2 hrs. each, seems to work well):
- Where will
your proposed course be held? (Be as specific as you can about
your preference. In the Portland area, courses are generally at
Portland State University or at the Capital Center in Beaverton.
But if you have another suggestion, let us know and we'll try
to arrange it.):
- Preferred
times of year/days of week/times of day for this course:
- (If you are
proposing to teach the course) Suggested financial arrangement:
We generally charge participants $10 for each 2-hour session.
In our standard contract with external instructors, revenue is
split evenly between SII and the instructor after covering the
cost of the classroom space (generally $0-$50 depending on the
location). If you'd like a different arrangement, please describe
your suggestion:
- If available,
please attach a more detailed course description. Attachments
may be sent in Appleworks format (any version), or in any platform-independent
format (html, pdf, TeX, postscript, rtf, plain text, etc.). Use
the "save as" menu in your word processor if you need to convert
your file to one of these formats.
