CDC's Global Health Odyssey Museum is excited to partner with the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation to offer a free five-day teacher workshop, Teach Epidemiology. Participants in this workshop will develop an understanding of the fundamental principles of epidemiology and will be prepared to begin immediate use of standards-rich, existing epidemiology education materials in their classrooms. The workshop is appropriate for high-school teachers of science, mathematics, health, and social studies.
The Teach Epidemiology workshop, led by epidemiologist Diane Marie St.George, PhD, and health educator Mark Kaelin, EdD, will be held at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia from June 7–11, 2010. Three (3) Professional Learning Units will be awarded for workshop participation. The workshop is free of cost, but attendees must bring their own lunch or bring money to purchase lunch at the CDC cafeteria. Attendees must commit to
attending and actively participating each day. Attendees must show valid government-issued ID to enter the CDC campus. Information about parking and logistics will be e-mailed to all registered attendees prior to the workshop.
