Furthermore, 100 of the teachers and 8,669 of the students are part of Title 1 school programs. Teachers are empowered to find creative ways to integrate science into their daily lesson plans. Every attendee walks away with continuing education credits, classroom supplies, and the opportunity to win raffle prizes such as gift cards, school supplies, and field trips to the Arizona Science Center.
ROCKETS Teacher Launch History The Junior League of Phoenix independently hosted a ROCKETS Teacher Launch event for seven years. Beginning in 2019, JLP partnered with the Arizona Science Center CREATE team and hosted a similar seminar through their Educate to Innovate Conferences. JLP is a longtime partner of the Arizona Science Center, which began as a community project of The Junior League of Phoenix in 1980. Combining JLP’s volunteer power and CREATE’s professional development expertise results in a hugely successful event! https://www.azscience.org/educators/educate-to-innovate-conference/ |
