Goals: To provide practical information about student-centered pedagogies as they apply to science classes, to introduce educators to resources that support excellence in teaching, and to foster connections between participants.

Family Resources: UW System regulations allow us to only cover expenses for UW System employees. Families are welcome all at Women & Science events, but the participant is responsible for covering any cost difference. Drop-in child care may be available through providers in the Wisconsin Dells area. Check out the Wisconsin Dells Chamber of Commerce web page at: www.wisdells.com for more information. Please contact Mary at 920/424-7414 or wis@uwosh.edu with questions or concerns.
