How can I obtain your services to have professional development in my district? Which professional development services do you offer? Who should attend a course? How much does each workshop cost? Where are your courses offered? Do your courses address the National Science Standards for teachers? When will you offer courses for elementary school teachers? Do you offer courses for high school teachers? How do I decide which course or workshop is best for my teachers? Do I have to be an STC/MS user to benefit from your courses? How can I qualify to be an NSRC trainer? If I only have a few teachers that need training on the STC/MS modules, is there a way to join a class in another district? What do you mean by the term “research-based” when referring to curricula and professional development? Can we partner with the NSRC’s Professional Development Center on Math/Science Partnerships?
