Hi, everyone,

If you work with or develop programs for your local K-12 teachers and
students, you may be interested in finding out more about AAAS's  Atlas
of Science Literacy and how to use it to inform  your work.  This fall
we are offering four professional development workshops on "Using Atlas
of Science Literacy" and invite you to join us.

Designed for professionals working in all areas of K-12 science
education and in both formal and informal science learning settings, the
workshops demonstrate how participants can use the conceptual strand
maps in Atlas 1 and Atlas 2, along with other Project 2061 resources, to
enhance their own understanding of science literacy and take a
benchmarks-based approach to helping improve science teaching and
learning for all. Atlas of Science Literacy is co-published by AAAS and
NSTA.

September 15-17 in Winston-Salem, NC at the SciWorks Museum
