National Science Teachers Association-
This site has some basic information for non-members and search results for
members on various topics. Also, the
Learning Center has SciObjects and SciPacks on
over 50 science topics for teacher content review. SciObjects are 1-2 hours in
length and are FREE. SciPacks are 8-10 hours in length and cost
non-members $39. Assessments and pedagogy discussions are included.
A certificate is issued upon completion, so this might be a good PD option at
the local level. Teachers select the topics of interest to them. See the
Learning Center tab or the listing at the bottom
of the home page. The Early Years Blog is another resource. It is listed at the
bottom of the home page.
