The University of Pennsylvania (Penn) School of Arts and Sciences Departments of Biology, Chemistry, Earth and Environmental Science, Mathematics, and Physics, in collaboration with the Graduate School of Education (GSE), is establishing the Penn Science Teachers Institute (Penn STI) in a major effort to engage in the development and retention of highly qualified science teachers in middle and secondary grades. The Penn STI, managed through the Department of Chemistry, provides content intensive master degree programs for developing content, pedagogy, and leadership skills for science teachers. This Institute is aimed at the mid-Atlantic region and 20 area schools/districts in the mid-Atlantic region.
The Principal Investigator of University of Pennsylvania Science Teachers Institute is Larry Gladney.
More information can be
found on a separate web site created by this project: http:// www.sas.upenn.edu/ PennSTI/ .
This site was created to enhance communication and collaboration
between partners within the Science Teachers Institute
project as well as to inform the public of the efforts of the Math
and Science Partnership Program. While selected documents in the
library and resources sections have been made available
to the public, only logged in members of the
University of Pennsylvania Science Teachers Institute project can post comments,
participate or read posts in the Working Groups, or see the interactive
Calendar.
