From January 2008 to 2010 CAPS has facilitated over 12 professional development workshops for K-12 science teachers throughout the United States. CAPS was honored to receive its first educational grant for science teachers’ professional development from the U.S. Department of Education in 2009.
THANKS to all the teachers that participated in the 2010 workshops in District 30 in Texas The CAPS science teachers’ workshops provided science-based activities that were filled with hands-on experiments which align with the new state required objectives. There were teaching materials, other resources, plus give a-ways. Teachers received a certificate of participation for 15 hours of professional development credit with school district approval after attending both workshop dates. Presenters included Ms. Yolanda George (AAAS), Dr. Ed Walton (Cal-Poly, Pomona, California), Dr. Saundra Yancy McGuire (LSU), and Dr. Michael F. Z. Page Jr. ((Cal-Poly, Pomona, California).
