INFORMATION
K-12 teachers in
southeastern Wisconsin and northern Illinois are invited to
participate in Chiwaukee Academy, held on the UW-Parkside campus
each summer. Chiwaukee Academy was founded in 1997 and is one
of nine academies held around the state during the summer.
Careful attention is given to standards and benchmarks, equity,
diversity, and assessment in all courses. The newest theories
will be discussed and ideas about how to move them into practice
will be shared by experienced teacher presenters.

WELCOME
TEACHERS
When
you attend Chiwaukee Academy, you will become the student, and University
Parkside will become your classroom.
When you complete this
engaging week-long educational experience, you will have gained:
|
|
An increased understanding of concepts
presented through problem solving, cooperative learning,
inquiry/discovery, application, and hands-on demonstrations that
encourage curriculum integration. |
|
|
Access to the electronic highway and methods
to integrate technology in math, science, social studies, and
reading/language arts instruction. |
|
|
An understanding of standards-based
instruction. |
|
|
Experience with
outstanding educators who are recognized nationally and on the
state level as leaders in their fields.
|
|
|
An understanding of new subject matter and
innovative ways to implement
instructional strategies in your classroom using inexpensive
materials. |
|
|
Experience with hands-on activities and
leaning techniques. |
|
|
An opportunity to speak individually with
business and industry representatives and tour prominent
companies in southeastern Wisconsin.
|
You may earn undergraduate or graduate-level credit
for your work. Most of all, we hope that you will take back to
your classroom the knowledge, techniques, and resources you have
obtained during your week as a participant in the Chiwaukee Academy. |
