Professional Development Opportunities for Teachers of Science:
Smithsonian Science Education Academies for Teachers
The Professional Development Center of the National Science Resources Center (NSRC), an organization of the Smithsonian Institution and the National Academies, is offering a series of exciting opportunities for science teachers—the Smithsonian Science Education Academies for Teachers.
As part of the world’s premier museum and research complex, the NSRC can provide special access for teachers to the scientists, curators, and educators at the Institution. Most Academy sessions will be held at the museums and research centers of the Smithsonian and other museums and laboratories in or near Washington, D.C.
Each of the Academies is unique in both its approach and science content.
In addition, there are three graduate-level credits available for each academy.
| GENERAL ACADEMY INFORMATION: Each academy includes:
- Hotel accommodations* for Sunday through Thursday nights;
- A Sunday evening reception and Academy orientation;
- Daily breakfast and lunch (Monday through Friday);
- Special Thursday night celebration dinner or event;
- Transport to and from the daily events (when appropriate); and
- All materials and tuition.
*One additional person—spouse, friend, child—may stay in the participant’s room at no additional cost. Participants from the same area may choose to share a room to defray expenses. Arrangements may be made through the hotel to add a third person in the room for an additional fee.
Academies do not include:
