Want quality professional development in a convenient format?
(Who doesn't?)
This September, the new NSTA Institute is sponsoring online
graduate courses for science teachers in collaboration with the National
Teachers Enhancement Network (NTEN), based at Montana State University.
Among the many benefits for you:
a.. The courses will turbo-charge what you teach and how you
teach it.
b.. Classes come right to you-at home or at school-via
asynchronous computer conferencing.
c.. Classes don't cost a fortune.
d.. All books and materials will be delivered to your door.
e.. It's wonderfully efficient-maximum learning in minimal
time.
BEST OF ALL, you'll enjoy personal contact with fellow teachers
and professors (nearly all active research scientists). They care about
their subjects-and you.
As one science teacher put it: "NTEN is successful not because
it is electronic, but because it is human."
--------------------------------------------------------------------
