What is the IMAA Teachers' Workshop?

This workshop is specially created for K-12 science educators in Indiana. The workshop will focus on the identification, economic value, and the uses of a variety of rocks and minerals in your everyday life. Volunteers from the aggregates mining industry also provide expert knowledge on mining procedures in Indiana. Remember: if it can't be grown, it must be mined!

How does the Workshop operate?

You will not be sitting through boring seminars all day! The IMAA Teachers' Workshop uses hands-on sessions to present activities that you can take back to the classroom, with helpful tips on how the activities can be worked into your curriculum. There are also two field trips to active aggregate mining operations, where on-site instruction will be provided concerning extraction technology, quality control and how the aggregates industry addresses environmental issues.

Is professional credit available for attending?

All participants will receive 9 Professional Growth Points for attending the entire workshop. You can also apply to receive 1 graduate credit hour from the Indiana University School of Education at an additional cost ($377.66 for IU graduate credit hour). All paperwork to receive the graduate credit will be available at the beginning of the workshop and will be due on the final day of the workshop (6/28/12). Payment will be billed at a later date. Please contact Walt Gray (grayw@indiana.edu), Educational Outreach Coordinator for the Indiana Geological Survey with any questions regarding the IU graduate credit.
