      <title>Modeling Waves: Distance Learning Workshop (Spring 2027) (2027-01-06)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Lato"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Modeling Waves:&amp;nbsp;Oscillating Particle and 1-D Mechanical Wave Models — Distance Learning Workshop&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font face="Lato"&gt;Spring 2027 | Led by Matt Watson&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Lato"&gt;Join us for a 15-hour&amp;nbsp;distance learning workshop (live, synchronous Zoom sessions)&amp;nbsp;on Modeling Waves, running &lt;strong&gt;Wednesdays, 6:30–9:30 PM ET,&amp;nbsp; Jan 6&amp;nbsp; – Feb 3, 2027&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Lato"&gt;This 5-week course applies the Modeling Instruction pedagogy to the physics of waves. Unit 1 (Oscillating Particle Model) builds a conceptual and mathematical foundation for simple harmonic motion — periodic motion, restoring force, amplitude, period, frequency, and energy transformations. Unit 2 (1-D Mechanical Waves) extends this to wave propagation, covering wave speed, wavelength, transverse and longitudinal waves, superposition, and reflection.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font face="Lato"&gt;Throughout the course, participants will experience the Modeling Instruction cycle firsthand developing models through experimentation, deploying them to solve problems, and reflecting on how this student-centered approach builds deeper conceptual understanding than traditional lecture-based instruction.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font face="Lato"&gt;Participants will leave equipped with classroom-ready materials, whiteboarding strategies, and assessment tools to implement both units with their own students.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Lato"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font face="Lato"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Recommended: Prior completion of a Modeling Instruction workshop, and access to a second monitor for the best experience.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Lato"&gt;&lt;strong style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;University of the Pacific Graduate (UoP) Credit&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;– Earn graduate credit through AMTA's long-standing partnership with the University of the Pacific.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Lato"&gt;&lt;span&gt;1 UoP credit hour at a rate of: $79 / credit. Contact&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="mailto:engage@modelinginstruction.org" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;engage@modelinginstruction.org&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Lato"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Modeling Waves:&amp;nbsp;Oscillating Particle and 1-D Mechanical Wave Models — Distance Learning Workshop&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font face="Lato"&gt;Spring 2027 | Led by Matt Watson&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Lato"&gt;Join us for a 15-hour&amp;nbsp;distance learning workshop (live, synchronous Zoom sessions)&amp;nbsp;on Modeling Waves, running &lt;strong&gt;Wednesdays, 6:30–9:30 PM ET,&amp;nbsp; Jan 6&amp;nbsp; – Feb 3, 2027&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Lato"&gt;This 5-week course applies the Modeling Instruction pedagogy to the physics of waves. Unit 1 (Oscillating Particle Model) builds a conceptual and mathematical foundation for simple harmonic motion — periodic motion, restoring force, amplitude, period, frequency, and energy transformations. Unit 2 (1-D Mechanical Waves) extends this to wave propagation, covering wave speed, wavelength, transverse and longitudinal waves, superposition, and reflection.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font face="Lato"&gt;Throughout the course, participants will experience the Modeling Instruction cycle firsthand developing models through experimentation, deploying them to solve problems, and reflecting on how this student-centered approach builds deeper conceptual understanding than traditional lecture-based instruction.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font face="Lato"&gt;Participants will leave equipped with classroom-ready materials, whiteboarding strategies, and assessment tools to implement both units with their own students.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Lato"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font face="Lato"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Recommended: Prior completion of a Modeling Instruction workshop, and access to a second monitor for the best experience.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Take your Modeling Instruction™ practice into &lt;strong&gt;Advanced Chemistry!&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;This five-week distance learning workshop is for teachers of AP Chemistry, honors or second-year high school chemistry, and introductory college chemistry. It shows how to apply Modeling Instruction™ to the most conceptually demanding topics in the curriculum while keeping the rigor and coherence the method is known for.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Participants will work through advanced Modeling Chemistry units in periodic trends, intermolecular forces, and chemical equilibrium, along with either kinetics or temperature and thermal energy.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;These topics align closely with core content in the AP Chemistry curriculum giving you materials and strategies you can use to support student success on the AP exam and beyond.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Participants will experience the Modeling cycle as learners, engaging in guided inquiry, whiteboarding, and collaborative sense-making, and will then examine how to adapt each unit for their own classrooms.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Modeling Waves: Distance Learning Workshop (Spring 2027) (2027-02-03)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Lato"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Modeling Waves:&amp;nbsp;Oscillating Particle and 1-D Mechanical Wave Models — Distance Learning Workshop&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font face="Lato"&gt;Spring 2027 | Led by Matt Watson&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Lato"&gt;Join us for a 15-hour&amp;nbsp;distance learning workshop (live, synchronous Zoom sessions)&amp;nbsp;on Modeling Waves, running &lt;strong&gt;Wednesdays, 6:30–9:30 PM ET,&amp;nbsp; Jan 6&amp;nbsp; – Feb 3, 2027&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Lato"&gt;This 5-week course applies the Modeling Instruction pedagogy to the physics of waves. Unit 1 (Oscillating Particle Model) builds a conceptual and mathematical foundation for simple harmonic motion — periodic motion, restoring force, amplitude, period, frequency, and energy transformations. Unit 2 (1-D Mechanical Waves) extends this to wave propagation, covering wave speed, wavelength, transverse and longitudinal waves, superposition, and reflection.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font face="Lato"&gt;Throughout the course, participants will experience the Modeling Instruction cycle firsthand developing models through experimentation, deploying them to solve problems, and reflecting on how this student-centered approach builds deeper conceptual understanding than traditional lecture-based instruction.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font face="Lato"&gt;Participants will leave equipped with classroom-ready materials, whiteboarding strategies, and assessment tools to implement both units with their own students.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Lato"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font face="Lato"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Recommended: Prior completion of a Modeling Instruction workshop, and access to a second monitor for the best experience.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Lato"&gt;&lt;strong style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;University of the Pacific Graduate (UoP) Credit&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;– Earn graduate credit through AMTA's long-standing partnership with the University of the Pacific.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Lato"&gt;&lt;span&gt;1 UoP credit hour at a rate of: $79 / credit. Contact&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="mailto:engage@modelinginstruction.org" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;engage@modelinginstruction.org&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Take your Modeling Instruction™ practice into &lt;strong&gt;Advanced Chemistry!&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;This five-week distance learning workshop is for teachers of AP Chemistry, honors or second-year high school chemistry, and introductory college chemistry. It shows how to apply Modeling Instruction™ to the most conceptually demanding topics in the curriculum while keeping the rigor and coherence the method is known for.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Participants will work through advanced Modeling Chemistry units in periodic trends, intermolecular forces, and chemical equilibrium, along with either kinetics or temperature and thermal energy.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
