Mission

The Collaborative for Excellence in Science Teaching, part of the Region 9 Education Service Center, focuses on sustained professional development for its teachers in science content and strategies for teaching science. The Collaborative is committed to meeting the educational needs of all learners and actively fosters the growth and development of pedagogy for science educators. Collegiality and collaborative interaction are emphasized to improve the learning community for all teachers and, by extension, for their students.

Accomplishments

For this year, our science collaborative has reached a goal of working with 30 Science Teacher Mentors in the areas of Physics for All and Geosciences for Grades K-8. Each of these teacher mentors has a goal of working with 5 other teachers for a total of at least 150 Cadre Members. We have also set up a new science lab at the Education Service Center and look forward to many great opportunities for trainings in this new facility.
