Teacher Professional Development
|
Lesley and her team are currently piloting a teacher professional development program in the San Francisco Bay Area that brings educators and scientists together to provide unique opportunities for teachers and administrators to "do science" in national, university, and industry labs. Educators gain hands on experience and instructional coaching to bring the learning back into their classrooms and scientists gain expert coaching from educators about how to communicate their science to a wider audience.
