Teachers never stop learning - we’re always trying to find ways to become better at our craft. One of the best ways to do that is through quality professional development (PD).
We aren’t talking the usual professional development you get that doesn’t apply to you - the kind where you’d rather be grading papers.
You want quality. But what makes professional development worth your time?
- It has relevance. It matters to you! You want your content area, your grade level, your material.
- It gives you reliable and relatable resources for your situation. You want to hear from real experts, not someone who has never seen the inside of a classroom or science lab before.
- It’s focused and has a point! Your time is valuable, so you want to squeeze out as much content as possible.
- It gets you fired up with practical tools to take back to your classroom. Real world teaching deserves real world tools.
- It gives you variety, choice, and control over your own learning. We love to give our students autonomy and choice - why wouldn’t we want it, too?
Kesler Science understands what science teachers need! Let us help you grow as an educator. We've created STARS Professional Development especially for science teachers like you.
STARS brings you flexibility, stellar engagement, experience, and resources worthy of your time.
STARS offers flexible learning pathways for experienced and beginning teachers. Our Annual Virtual Conference features on-demand sessions from seasoned professionals who know what they’re talking about. The New Teacher Orientation will get new and new-to-science teachers started off on the right foot. Both can be invigorating at any stage in your career!
For an extra bonus, every teacher who registers for the Conference, the Orientation, or both is invited to Steve Spangler's Everyday STEM Live Zoom sessions six times per year. These lively sessions with the king of science edutainment will get you excited to do hands-on learning across all ages. The recording of the most recent session is available with your registration, and you can earn a certificate of attendance for participating.
More good news if you’re a Texas educator: Kesler Science is an approved Texas CPE provider!
