Here are two related ISAAPT documents
that we have prepared to
help
solve the current crisis in high school science teaching.
Both are color, printable PDF files (click on the images below).
Thanks to generous financial contributions totaling $3,750 from
four Illinois teacher organizations (ISAAPT, IACT, ISTA and
CSAAPT), copies of the brochure and the booklet are being
printed and will be available at the Fall 2007 meetings of these
organizations. Special thanks to Carl Wenning for the
central role he played in creating these two carefully crafted,
professional-looking documents. He is also the author of
the two Web pages cited above.

This tri-fold
brochure is designed for
anyone who might wish to
become
a high school science teacher. |
As a concerned
teacher, we need your help to inspire,
identify, and recruit prospective science teacher
candidates. This 8-page
booklet explains why. |
