learning tool.
The arrival of the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) makes
it the ideal time to kick-start your professional development
programme, and this ambitious book is the perfect source of
inspiration to help you do so. The book’s emphasis is on
developing highly effective teachers who are expected to improve
student achievement in STEM education; its focus is on
research-based models underlying systemic reform efforts across the
nation. The book opens with expert views on the history of
professional development in science education, the challenges of
the new standards, and related research on learning. Then, the
book’s core highlights critical aspects of several successful
programmes and provides forward-looking insights into the needed
professional development surrounding the NGSS. Models and
Approaches is a vital resource for state, district, and school
leaders as well as classroom teachers. It will help you to both
analyse what you do now and implement new strategies to make STEM
professional development more effective at all levels.
