This summer, the Center for Science Education (CSE) at Emory, along with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) will be offering a 2-day workshop on the aspects of epidemiology. This workshop will include defining epidemiology and biostatistics, outbreak investigations, a seminar at the CDC, along with a Global Health Odyssey Tour. Participants will also be given the opportunity to meet scientists employed by the CDC, as well as the chance to ask questions related to this field.

The workshop will take place June 24-25, from 9:00-5:00, at the Emory University School of Nursing, Room 112.

Deadline for registration is June 7, 2002

Participants will receive a $200.00 stipend for their participation, with the opportunity to earn an additional $300.00 for implementing the material in their lesson plan, and completing the evaluation afterwards. SDU’s offered, subject to Atlanta Public School System’s approval.

Evaluation (additional $300.00): Once the workshop is completed, teachers are asked to (1) implement the material covered in their lesson plan, (2) submit a 3-4 page narrative and a copy of the lesson plan used, and (3) complete the evaluation tool developed by the CDC and CSE.
The evaluation must completed and submitted by January 17, 2003, in order to receive the additional $300.00

The workshop has space for 30 Atlanta Public School High School Teachers. Due to the nature of this workshop, math and science teachers are encouraged to apply as a team, in hopes of having the subject matter taught using an interdisciplinary design.
