Dear Teacher or Administrator,

The contract between your school district and the Challenger Learning Center of Kentucky provides for training of teachers in the challenger mission simulations.  The Challenger Center agrees to train one teacher for each mission which the school district pays.  Most school districts want their teachers to attend the Challenger Workshops each year even after the initial training for the mission simulations. 

 This teacher workshop schedule that you are receiving from the Challenger Learning Center of Kentucky is to inform you of the different types of training that we will be offering during the summer and fall of 2002.  All teachers bringing students to the Challenger Learning Center of Kentucky are expected to complete either the Comet or Mars Simulation Mission training before they bring their students to the center to fly their mission simulation.  You can also sign up for additional workshops but you must have the Comet or Mars training.  If you have received this workshop schedule and are no longer the teacher responsible for the Challenger Mission preparation, please pass this along to the teacher that will be in charge for the 2002-2003 school year. 

 If you are a teacher that brings students to the Challenger Learning Center of Kentucky and have already had the Comet and/or Mars Simulation Mission Training, then you are welcome to sign up for any of the other workshops advertised.  Each workshop will have a short session to talk about the mission simulation and any changes that might have taken place since last year.  You are also welcome to share this training schedule with your fellow teachers and they can sign up for the workshops as well.  Again, the Challenger Learning Center of Kentucky will train one teacher per mission paid from each school district.  For any additional teachers attending workshops we will charge their school district at the rate of $50.00/teacher.  Please complete the enclosed workshop registration form and fax, mail, or email to the Challenger Learning Center of Kentucky by July 1.  Fax to 606-435-1102, mail to One Community College Drive, Hazard, Ky. 41701 or email to Tom.Cravens@kctcs.edu. 

If you have any questions, please contact the Challenger Center at 800-246-5721.
