May May 5, 5.00-8.00 pm, SITQC Meeting, 3 hours credit, Giant City Lodge, Dinner provided. June June 3, 8.30 AM- 12.00 PM, Universal Design in Science Education:Curriculum Accessibility and Meaningful Outcomes for All Learners Target Audience: Science Educators, Special Educators, and Administrators Presenters: Paul E. Bates, Ph.D, Southern Illinois University Adelle Renzaglia, Ph.D, University of Illinois
Content: This workshop will address the concept of universal design in lesson plan development and classroom activities involving science education for all learners. Dr. Bates is a Professor of Special Education at Southern Illinois University. Recently Dr. Bates received a grant from the National Science Foundation to support career development activities for youth with disabilities who have expressed an interest in science related careers. Dr. Renzaglia is a Professor of Special Education at the University of Illinois. Currently, Dr. Renzaglia is directing a federally funded grant titled “Accessing the General Curriculum in Inclusive Schools and Community Settings”. This research project has assessed co-teaching (special educator and science educator) in high school general science classes and has developed a universal design assessment instrument for evaluating science lesson plans. Participants in this workshop will learn how special educators and science educators can work more collaboratively with one another and how to use the universal design assessment to develop more inclusive lesson plans.

September
Saturday, September 10th from 8:30 to 3:30, We Need Grants! A Grant Writing Workshop for Teachers Location: Shawnee Community College Credit: 7 hours Content: Where do we find them? How do we write them? What are funds awarded to support? I won what next? Join us for a full day workshop learning about grants. Teachers will receive specifics on grant writing and be given a wide variety of ideas and strategies for activities to incorporate in the grant proposal. We’ll review Best Practices and math and science state standards to support writing winning proposals. We will explore interdisciplinary grants that incorporate math and science across content areas as well. Creative ideas will be generated as together we explore the world of classroom grant awards. Specific grant applications will be reviewed and developed during the day. Presenter: Mary Jo Diamond Mary Jo Diamond is recently retired from Unity Point School and brings real world experience to share with teachers. She has written and facilitated grant applications for 28 years for Unity Point where grant awards ranged from $500.00 to $250, 000.00. Mary Jo’s philosophy is that they are going to give someone the money so it might as well be us! She currently is a team member on participation in the “Revitalize” grant bringing visualization tools from research to the math and science classroom teachers sponsored by the National Science Foundation through the University of Illinois and the Super Computing Center in Urbana, Illinois.
