The Science Education Institute at Raritan Valley Community College offers a series of workshops for K-12 teachers and supervisors on how to support students as they investigate and make sense of phenomena in the classroom. Through these workshops, participants will explore all aspects of effective Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) aligned instruction.
Led by Dr. Wil van der Veen, author and a nationally recognized expert on the NGSS and science education, the workshops will be held at Raritan Valley Community College in Branchburg. Each workshop begins at 9 a.m. and ends at 3 p.m. Light breakfast and lunch will be provided.
The fee is $150 per workshop per teacher. Participants will receive five professional development units for completing each workshop.
