Thanks to the NebraskaMATH OPS Teacher Leader Academy that is being funded by the Sherwood and Lozier foundations, OPS elementary teachers have a unique opportunity to pursue graduate education at no cost to them. We want to bring to your attention to three mathematics classes and one NEW science course for K-5 elementary teachers:
Math 803P (Class # 11141) June 6-10 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. Algebraic Thinking for the Elementary Classroom (class held in Omaha)
TEAC 890 (Class # 5057) June 27-July 1 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. Responsive Instruction in the Elementary Mathematics Classroom (class held in Omaha)
TEAC 924A (Class # 12484) July 11-15 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. Enriching Elementary Science Practices (class held in Lincoln)
Math 804P (Class # 3061) July 18-22 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. Problem Solving and Critical Thinking for the Elementary Classroom (class held in Omaha)
Sherwood-Lozier Fellowships make it possible for OPS teachers to take these courses at no cost for tuition or fees. Lunch will be provided for participants. These courses count toward a master’s degree from UNL.
