Professional Development Workshops for Teachers

The MRSEC established professional development workshops in 1999. The goals of these workshops are for teachers to strengthen content knowledge, incorporate research-based activities into the classroom, integrate advanced technology into lesson plans, and establish sustainable resources. Teachers are provided with hands-on materials, demonstrations, and a presentation by a master teacher and/or researcher. Important for effective curriculum integration the workshops include county, state, and national standards. Topics include: physics, materials science, superconductivity, and nanoscience.

More information about one of MRSEC's teacher workshops, The Science of Spying, is available on our page of International Spy Museum partnership programs.
