The NSF recommends that every teacher complete a course in physical, life and earth science for a total of 36 hours of professional development. Sign up by grade level and kit. These classes and workshops are designed to meet targeted needs of teachers. The offerings vary from year to year. Each year we offer a series designed to train teachers to become instructors on specific kits.
Training includes an analysis of their kit, content training, and leadership planning.
Typically scientists from the community are involved. Teachers are identified each winter and spring.
