Preparing future teachers in science education? Please join us for
for community college and university faculty and graduate students instructing future teachers
The original FINESSE project is complete. These free two-day workshops were conducted over a period of three years to assist university and community college faculty in preparing future teachers in science education. NASA Earth and space scientists and educators shared authentic inquiry activities, data, and resources related to key topics from the national science standards. Data sets and other resources can be accessed in the left menu bar.
NASA Science Mission Directorate has funded a new FINESSE program,
with many of the same team members. Check it out here.
