2009-2010 Cycle Schedules

You should have received an email containing your AMSTI Science Module cycle schedule this past week, sent to the address you submitted at registration. This will help you plan your units for the upcoming school year as each cycle corresponds with the four 9-week grading periods. For example, Cycles 1 & 2 fall within first semester and Cycles 3 & 4 are within spring semester.
Cycle 1 begins on August 14th for Blount County, Athens City, and Oneonta City.
Cycle 1 begins on August 17th for Cullman County, Limestone County, Lawrence County, and Morgan County.
Your kits will be marked with the return date on each crate.
Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns: carrie.lin@athens.edu

Summer Institute 2009

We survived AMSTI Summer Institute 2009 with only a few bumps and bruises!! Honestly, it went very well, considering all the grade level/teacher changes we had leading up to it. Two sites over an hour apart is crazy, but hopefully we won't be doing that again. Thanks to all the math and science trainers at both Hayden and Cedar Ridge who did a phenomenal job!! I look forward to working with my teachers at the Year 2 schools as they enter a year where some things are familiar and others are brand new. That 's how we grow as educators! For the Year 1 schools, we can all relate because we've been in their shoes. But in the end, the real winners are the students across our region who will see math & science in a different light.
