On-going Opportunities
Teacher Partners
This ESU program provides a pre-service science teacher who assists a secondary science teacher with some of the time-intensive administrative work that impedes the development of inquiry-oriented activities. In return, the cooperating teacher assists in carrying out an action research activity.
Course Workgroups
The MaSTER Center sponsors small groups of people who wish to examine how particular courses could better serve pre-service and in-service teachers. Past workgroups have looked at a physics course for elementary education majors, a math sequence for elementary education majors and a meteorology course. If you are interested in having a workgroup look at your own course(s) or are interested in joining a group (K-12 teachers, especially), please contact the MaSTER Center director.
Building a Presence
This NSTA program consists of a network connecting teachers in all schools in Pennsylvania. It is envisioned that each school will have a "Point of Contact" and volunteers are currently being sought.
