Virtual PD Workshop: Atmospheres of North Dakota

NASA-in-the-Classroom Professional Development Workshop

Registration Closed

Please join us for a VIRTUAL hands-on professional development workshop open to all ND educators!

Stay at home and participate in this 100% virtual NASA-in-the-Classroom professional development workshop. Open to all North Dakota K-12 educators and education majors, participants will receive a free PurpleAir atmospheric sensor for the workshop (you’ll be able to keep it and use with your own students!). Participants will also be able to interview NASA atmospheric scientists, as well as learn about other NASA education and ND funding opportunities to stay involved throughout the year.

Hosted by the North Dakota Space Grant Consortium (NDSGC), we encourage interested educators to request a seat in the workshop, regardless of your experience levels, subject content areas, and teaching experience. The NDSGC encourages educators from rural and/or Tribal communities to apply.

When: August 10, 12, 17, and 19, 2021

Mode of Instruction: Synchronous class time and asynchronous homework and practice time

Time Commitment: We will provide 15 hours, over a two week timeframe. Educators interested in earning 1 PD credit will be able to apply through UND.
