Galileo Teacher Training Program
The goal of the Galileo Teacher Training Program (GTTP) is to develop and present workshops using Galileo’s telescopic investigations to teach the process of science, problem-solving, and collaboration in an inquiry-based education framework, resulting in an ongoing and evolving teacher professional development opportunity for modeling science process in the classroom.
The Galileo Teacher Training Program is a signature program of the U.S. International Year of Astronomy effort. Go to http://astronomy2009.us/ to learn more about the wide array of IYA programs and events designed to provide astronomy experiences for everyone, in celebration of 400 years of discovery since Galileo's first observations of the heavens through a telescope.
