The Smithsonian Science Education Center works with districts and regions to build leadership teams that transform science education. Let's start by transforming K-12 science education Professional Development and Curriculum Create a Plan Implement School, district, and community leadership teams get time to work together and develop long-term reform plans, guided by research, that focus on local and regional needs We work together on an ongoing implementation and evaluation of that plan We offer ongoing, content-focused professional development, and professional learning communities. We also provide resources for inquiry-based curriculum 1) Results: LASER Build Awareness Leadership and Assistance for Science Education Reform We help build awareness for science education reform in your district and region Increased student Communities and educators proficiency in science! committed to science education reform; public- private partnerships support and sustain student success Smithsonian Science Education Center http://www.scienceeducation.si.edu @ SmithsonianScie SOURCES: http://www.usfunds.com/slideshows/facts-about-global-energy/#; https://www.wfp.org/hunger/stats; http://water.org; http://www.bls.gov; http://www.data360.org; Organisation for Ecomic Co-Operation and Development.
