Teacher workshop

On Tuesday, May 19 from 4:30 to 6pm, the APCD will present a workshop for Ventura County middle and high school science instructors on the film.  During the workshop, teachers will see the film "AIR - The Search For One Clean Breath" in high definition, receive a DVD of their own (along with some other surprises), and munch on some great snacks.  The film's executive producer and co-writer, Barbara L. Page, will also discuss a teacher's guide to the film, available July 2009.  The guide will contain lessons written by California teachers, field tested in Ventura County, and aligned with the California standards.

The District offices are located at 669 County Square in Ventura.  Please RSVP by May 15 to barbara@vcapcd.org.
