Science Education Institute

Mission
The Science Education Institute supports K-12 educators in teaching science more effectively by providing long-term professional development to individual teachers and school districts with the goal of improving K-12 science education in New Jersey and across the nation.

Current Focus
We support New Jersey schools with the implementation of the revised New Jersey Students Learning Standards in Science (NJSLS-S), which are based on the national Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). We provide a series of one-day workshops during the school year and a week-long Institute during the summer at Raritan Valley Community College. We also work with school districts to develop a long-term professional development plan consisting of 3-5 in-district workshops spread out over one to two years.
In addition to our work with New Jersey schools, we support teachers and schools in other states as we have been working with districts and teachers from the states of Pennsylvania, New York, Connecticut, and Maryland.
