New Teacher Workshop (Friday, April 26, 10am - 4 PM) Paul Robinson and other Vets This is the second time we've offered this popular workshop on Friday afternoon (instead of Saturday afternoon) so that participants don?t have to miss out on the contributed papers. If there are insufficient signups for Friday, we will revert to our previous Saturday format. It is intended for teachers who are either new to teaching physics and/or those who have been at it for a while but still feel like they?re new! All new teachers will be networked with experienced teachers. The workshop includes valuable teaching tips, goodie bags, raffles where everyone wins, question and answer panels, popcorn, and more! Although there is no fee, interested participants should email laserpablo@aol.com and ffaridia@lausd.k12.ca.us to register or for more information.
