The Science Education Program (SEP) at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory provides professional development instruction to in-service and pre-service teachers. Teacher Research Academies Teams of LLNL research scientists working collaboratively with master science teachers develop the curricula and materials, and provide the instruction. This team approach ensures that the content is up-to-date and accurate, and that the presentation models best practices in instruction. During this challenging and exciting professional development program, teachers attend hands-on workshops where they practice using advanced scientific instrumentation with classroom activities aligned with the California Science Content Standards. Many of these teachers then participate in a paid ($4000 summer stipend) mentored research work experience. Participants may earn up to 9 semester units of CSU extension credit, or 10-quarter units of graduate credit applied toward a MS in Education from CSU East Bay. Workshop schedules, registration and details about the Masters degree option are available on the TRA Website. Science Teacher and Researcher (STAR)
