For Today's Science Teachers
You don't have to figure it out alone
PD3 Science connects science teachers with three veteran educators who've been in your shoes — and know exactly what you need.
Registration is LIVE for Science Saturday on December 5th from 8am-3:30pm. This FREE science PD will be held on the campus of NDSU in AG Hill Hall. Participants will get to choose up to 4 active sessions from 5 threads (biology, chemistry, physics, environmental science and curriculum). Teachers will leave each session with materials and ideas to use in their classrooms. One NDSU credit is available for $50 to attend and reflect on how to implement what you learn.
