MESTA's Rock Shop/Free and Inexpensive Earth Materials
(In Gym)
This is it! Our famous FREE AND INEXPENSIVE rock and mineral sale. Lots of class-
room samples, teaching kits, and answers to your Earth questions.The famous
MESTA Rock Shop displays rocks, minerals and fossils. You may purchase geology specimens from around the world and use these for classroom activi-
ties, gifts and displays.
The Michigan Earth Science Teachers Association was founded in 1966. Members include
K-12 teachers, college and university instructors, students and anyone interested in the earth
sciences. MESTA is recognized both in Michigan and around the nation as a leading organization in the promotion of quality Earth Science education. Its master teacher members lead
many sessions at major state teacher conferences.
The Rock Shop allows teachers to get classroom materials at a very low cost, support creative classroom ideas and helps provide funding for the Stoney Awards, $500 mini-grants
given to teachers throughout the state to support student-centered earth science activities.
The organization provides quality, low-cost rock, mineral and fossil specimens for educational
use.
New Site for Math-Science Annual Fall Conference
Built in 1961, Cousino High School is in the Warren Consolidated Schools whose superintendent is
Dr. Robert Livernois. It is located on the West side of Hoover Road between 12 and 13 Mile Roads.
Mr. Bradley Perkins is principal.

Welcome to the DACTM-MDSTA 2015 FallConference
The Metropolitan Detroit Science Teachers Association and the Detroit Area Council of Teachers of Mathematics
welcome you to the 2015 Fall Conference. We are excited to be at our new location in Warren, MI – Cousino
High School! Many thanks to Warren Consolidated Schools Superintendent, Dr. Robert Livernois, and Warren
Consolidated Schools Chief Academic Officer, Mr. Joseph Konal, Cousino High School Principal, Mr. Bradley
Perkins, and the CHS staff for making this possible!
This is the LARGEST math/science professional development event in the State of Michigan. Not only do we
offer sessions and workshops on a variety of topics to both current and pre-service K-12 educators, but we
also have a large variety of exhibitors who are happy to speak with you personally about how they can help
the classroom teacher work to improve student achievement.
Please don’t forget to engage in conversations with your peers attending this event. Whether you are sitting
beside someone at a session, sharing a lunch table or visiting the same vendor, it is these face-to-face
interactions that make live, in-person events such as this unique. Professional networking and idea sharing
is what helps educators improve both their teaching practices and depth of content knowledge.

SCECHs Overview

Michigan Department of Education

Overview of the State Continuing Education
Clock Hour (SCECH) Program
Formerly known as the State Board Continuing
Education Unit (SB-CEUs) Program
includes computers
or computer lab
What are SCECHs?
State Board-Continuing Education Units (SBCEUs) were State Board approved in-service,
workshop, training, or conference credits that
were used for the renewal of selected certificates issued by the Michigan Department of
Education (MDE). SB-CEUs were calculated by
dividing the total number of contact or instructional hours by the number 10. Thus, an eight
(8) hour session would be eligible to receive
eight tenths (0.8) of an SB-CEU.
make and take
On May 18, 2012, the Michigan Legislature
changed the Administrative Rules which
changed SB-CEUs to State Continuing Education Hours and those hours are to be clock
hours. The MDE combined the terms to name
the renewal credits State Continuing Education Clock Hours (SCECHs). SCECHs are
State-approved in-service, workshop, training, or conference credits that are used for the
renewal of selected certificates issued by the
MDE. SCECHs are the total number of instructional hours in a program.
Conferences, Workshops, Etc.
Attendance at traditional workshops, seminars,
trainings, and conferences is verified by 100%
attendance. Failure of a participant to
attend the entire offering, complete
the Passport form, sign-in and out,
and complete an online offering evaluation, will result in no SCECHs being awarded for that offering.

Building Percent Sense
Share activities and worksheets that help learners develop an understanding of a variety of percent statements
as well as skill at approximating percents in everyday life.
Perhaps as important as mastering percent calculations
-- and certainly more useful in our daily lives -- is having
a clear sense of what percents are all about. This "feel"
for percents lays good groundwork for mathematical
manipulation.

In addition, secondary education majors must have successfully completed the college’s or university's required
calculus sequence, while elementary education majors must have at least a mathematics minor. The classification (junior or senior) for an applicant who has earned a degree in another area and has enrolled in a teacher
education program will be determined by his/her Sept. 30, 2016 status in the teacher education program.
Current mathematics teachers (members of DACTM) should submit for approval the plan, including costs, to
pursue additional education in mathematics education for which they want a scholarship. After the plan is completed and evidence of completion is submitted, the scholarship will be issued.
Award:
