"This was truly one of the best training experiences I have had; the presenters were fantastic and I really appreciate the planning that went into everything."

Teacher

The ScienceStart! curriculum can be used as an "off the shelf" resource for coherent and integrated instruction by an experienced teacher who is confident in his or her ability to teach science and is skilled in creating a language-rich classroom environment. For most teachers, professional development can maximize the curriculum's appropriate implementation.

On-Site Training

Our staff members travel to sites that are implementing ScienceStart! to offer up to four full days of professional development, adjusted to local needs. Please contact us for further details.

Week-Long Workshops in Rochester

We also support a "train the trainer" model with an annual week-long workshop held in Rochester, New York. Our next workshop will be held during the fall of 2009. Click here to see what the workshop will be like or to let us know that you're interested.
