About
Cosmos in the Classroom 2010
We will gather in one of the most pleasant cities in the U.S.
to consider how we can do a better job with the introductory
astronomy course and learn from some of the outstanding astronomy
professors and instructors in the country. Much of the symposium
will be in the format of small-group sessions, where we will
practice effective techniques for reaching students. Participants
will include community and small college instructors, university
professors, graduate students and postdocs just about to teach
their first solo course, advanced high school teachers, and
anyone who may be facing a group of non-science majors in
the future.
