CAPITAL AREA INSTITUTE FOR MATHEMATICS AND SCIENCE

Workshops

The Capital Area Institute for Mathematics and Science at Penn State Harrisburg provides professional development and curriculum services to public and private schools within Pennsylvania to assist in strengthening K-12 mathematics and science programs. The 2004-2005 Professional Development offerings is an outreach service of the School of Behavioral Sciences and Education. The workshops presented here may be customized and offered on-site for interested school districts or organizations.

CAIMS faculty also will conduct workshops on your local site. If a school district or set of school districts have at least 8 teachers for a given workshop, we will bring the workshop to you. Any of the workshops listed here could be delivered at your local site. Those that are identified as "flexible" are available only at school sites in the 05-06 school year.
