Subsidized summer meteorology workshop for teachers
The Canadian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society (CMOS) has been invited to send one Canadian teacher to attend PROJECT ATMOSPHERE, a two-week summer meteorology workshop specifically designed for teachers and run by the American Meteorological Society (AMS).
Expenses while on the workshop are covered by allowances from the AMS. CMOS and the Canadian Council for Geographic Education (CCGE) each provide a $300 subsidy (for a total of $600) for travel to and from the workshop. The workshop runs from July 18 – 30, 2010 and is held at the National Weather Service Training Center in Kansas City, Missouri.
CMOS invites applications from interested teachers from across Canada. The deadline for applications is MARCH 15, 2010. This opportunity is open to elementary and high school teachers.
