Forensic Science for Educators

July 9-13, 2012

$695.00

Television based Forensic Science shows and programming have created an intense interest in the field and a desire for knowledge. Many high schools and colleges have recently initiated, or plan to initiate curriculum based on Forensic Science. This unprecedented interest in the multidisciplinary aspect of Forensic Science has created an effective and opportune method to teach science to students. While the science is a constant, it is the application of that science in a law enforcement setting that the Henry C Lee Institute of Forensic Science will be presenting in a comprehensive 5-day course.

The Institute offers this hands-on course which is aimed at the educator who is already teaching, or is interested in teaching forensic science in a high school or middle school setting. The course will be taught in two different perspectives, from a scientist perspective and from the eyes of a crime scene investigator.
