New online course for teachers on the brain - OECD - 01-07-2005
For teachers who want to learn about the brain, then you may
be interested in "Brain Research in Education" (BRE), an Internet-based
program from the University of Washington Extension. BRE is a series of
three courses: 1) Brain Basics (October 4 - December 16, 2005); 2) Brain
Research Processes (January 10, 2005 - March 24, 2006) and 3) Brain
Research in Educational Curricula (April 4 - June 16, 2006). Teachers
earn four Continuing Education Units (CEUs) or 40 clock-hours and a
University of Washington Certificate of Achievement when they complete the
courses. Registration information and a description of the program are
available at:

The annual Society for Neuroscience (SfN) meeting will take place in
Washington, D.C., between November 12 and November 16. Although
approximately 30,000 neuroscientists will be at the meeting, there will
also be some activities for K-12 teachers. Teachers and neuroscientists
who have partnered together are encouraged to apply for the
Neuroscientist-Teacher Partner Travel Award. These partners will attend
the Planning Workshop for Neuroscience Education Partnerships at the
annual meeting. Award winners will receive complimentary registration, a
$1,000 stipend for the teacher, and one night's hotel for the
neuroscientist. For more about this award, see:

If you go the meeting, make sure you attend the Brain Awareness Campaign
Meeting (November 13) and the presentation of the 2005 Science Educator
Award (November 14). Also, browse the many posters in the Teaching of
Neuroscience session.
