StudentWorldTeacher.net provides professional development for science teachers.
We emphasize the role of how students learn and the need to know what your students are thinking, along with developing good teaching strategies and increasing content understanding. It is our belief that the physical world is what brings students and teachers together, so we practice and develop inquiry learning and inquiry teaching throughout the professional development.
For more infomation contact Fiona McDonnell or David Burgess.

The Summer Physical Science Institute 2007 was a great success! See more pictures at the grant website. The institute was made possible by funding received through a Mathematics Science Partnership grant awarded to our multi-district proposal: “Teacher Inquiry and Student Learning in Science.” The summer institute was followed by monthly meetings, in which we engaged in collaborative assessment of student understanding and learning in science. In addition, we offered online professional development to support content knowledge in science.
