Teacher Support for Conferences
Due to a lack of funding, we regret that we are currently unable to offer teacher support for conferences.
The purpose of conference support is twofold: to provide professional development for teachers and to improve the programs offered by Science In Motion(SIM).
A limited amount of money is available to support teachers’ attendance at conferences having to do with teaching science, such as PSTA, NAST, AAAS, and ChemEd. This money will be available as a stipend to reimburse expenses incurred. The money will be distributed upon receipt of expenses and a brief narrative report describing activities and any pertinent benefits to the Science In Motion Program.
Consideration will be given to teachers attending meetings that promise to provide something that will be of use to teachers in Science in Motion. One conference per year will be allowed per teacher. If more applications are received than funding allows, priority will be given to the teacher who has gone longest without support for attending a conference.
