Woodleigh+and+the+NCB

As part of an attempt to assist primary and secondary school teachers to come to grips with aspects of the National Curriculum for Science and with a desire to further develop teacher networks on the Mornington Peninsula, I've planned a Scientist in Redidence program for March 2010 at Woodleigh.

It will include student workshops for primary and secondary school students and teacher workshops for primary and secondary teachers run by [|Dr. Peter Eastwell].

There will also be a professional dinner with Mrs Maria James, Science Curriculm Manager for the Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority and a member of the advisory panel for the National Curriculum in Science.

If you would like to attend any of these sessions, please email Dr. Gary Simpson at Woodleigh School on gsimpson@woodleigh.vic.edu.au.
