Teacher Professional Development

Offer your teachers confidence in teaching standard-based science and engineering processes and practices!

Using phenomena-based learning, SARSEF outreach professionals guide teachers on how to engage their students in creating quality science and engineering research projects by identifying meaningful and relevant real-life challenges. Teachers will explore thought-provoking hands-on activities, lesson design, and resources to make science and engineering experiences accessible to all students.

SARSEF will design Professional Development to meet your needs.

Arizona STEM Acceleration Project (ASAP)

SARSEF will provide 4 hours of professional development broken down into a 2 hour in-person PD and 2 hours of asynchronous Google Classroom work.

Our outreach professionals will guide teachers through a phenomena-based learning experience and provide them with hands-on activities, lesson design, and resources to replicate a Mars Colony Unit in their own classrooms. Additionally, they will be given the tools necessary to create a PBL unit that is inspired by their own students’ wonderings.
