Modeling Astronomy — Distance Learning Workshop @ UNO (Fall 2026) (2026-10-13)

Tue, 13 Oct 2026 23:00:00 GMT

Explore the universe through the lens of Modeling Instruction in this hybrid online professional development workshop designed for middle school, high school, and introductory college physics and astronomy educators. Participants will engage in the Modeling cycle as learners while exploring research-based instructional strategies, classroom activities, and assessment techniques that promote conceptual understanding and scientific inquiry.

The workshop will meet weekly via Zoom from September 1^stthrough December 8^thon Tuesday evenings (7-10 PM Eastern, 6-9 PM Central, 5-8 MT, 4-7 PT), providing opportunities for collaboration with teachers from across the country while allowing participants to immediately implement Modeling strategies in their own classrooms.

Workshop participants may choose from multiple professional development options:

AMTA Workshop Only – Participate in the workshop as a professional learning experience.
University of the Pacific Graduate (UoP) Credit – Earn graduate credit through AMTA's long-standing partnership with the University of the Pacific. 2 UoP credit hours at a rate of: $79 / credit. Contact engage@modelinginstruction.org
University of Nebraska Omaha Graduate Credit – Participants may also choose to enroll in PHYS 8320 – Modeling Instruction in Astronomy and earn 3 graduate credits through the University of Nebraska Omaha. This graduate course extends the workshop experience through additional readings, reflective assignments, and curriculum development activities delivered through UNO's Canvas learning management system.

Modeling Waves: Distance Learning Workshop (Spring 2027) (2027-01-06)

Wed, 06 Jan 2027 23:30:00 GMT

Modeling Waves: Oscillating Particle and 1-D Mechanical Wave Models — Distance Learning Workshop

Spring 2027 | Led by Matt Watson

Join us for a 15-hour distance learning workshop (live, synchronous Zoom sessions) on Modeling Waves, running Wednesdays, 6:30–9:30 PM ET, Jan 6 – Feb 3, 2027.

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.

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.

Participants will leave equipped with classroom-ready materials, whiteboarding strategies, and assessment tools to implement both units with their own students.

Recommended: Prior completion of a Modeling Instruction workshop, and access to a second monitor for the best experience.

Advanced Modeling Chemistry: Distance Learning Workshop (Spring 2027) (2027-01-13)

Thu, 14 Jan 2027 00:00:00 GMT

Take your Modeling Instruction™ practice into Advanced Chemistry!

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.

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.

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.

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.

DATES: Wednesdays starting Jan 13 – Feb 10, 2027 for 5 weeks, 15 hours.

TIME: 7 – 10 PM Eastern / 4 – 7 PM Pacific

LOCATION: Zoom (Synchronous)

LEADERS: Brooke Jenkins & Dr. Gloria Kreischer Gajewicz

COST: AMTA members: $400; non-members: $475

GRADUATE-LEVEL CREDIT: 1 optional Graduate-level credit are available from University of Pacific.
