The Professional Development Indexer helps you diagnose your
needs in specific science content areas and provide suggestions
of NSTA e-PD resources and opportunities you may want to
consider as you plan your professional development (PD). The
Indexer does not assign a grade or present a score to the
questions you answer, but saves a list of recommended resources
for later review.
You have two options for indexing your PD needs. First, you may
review all of the content areas across any of the three science
disciplines provided: physical, life, or earth and space science
by clicking the "Diagnose All Subjects" button with a specific
discipline. This will present you with five questions randomly
selected from each content area for that discipline. Or, you may
select one or more content areas within a discipline by checking
the appropriate boxes and then selecting the "Diagnose Selected
Subjects" button. This will present 10 questions from each
science content area selected.
