SCI Teacher Workshops

The promotion and support of quality science teaching has been the cornerstone goal of SCI since the inception of the company. We fervently believe that the best IPS and FM&E teachers are those who are trained in the instructional materials they use.

To support this effort, five percent of what your school pays for IPS and/or FM&E copyrighted materials, over a consecutive three-year period, will be credited toward the tuition costs for teachers attending SCI-approved national or regional workshops.

In addition to the extensive in-service training programs provided by many schools and school districts, IPS and FM&E teachers have summer workshop opportunities available as shown below. In each IPS and FM&E workshop, participants work with the authors and experienced teachers to perform all experiments, discuss pedagogy, and share classroom management and safety tips.
