Andrea Gigliotti, third grade teacher at Carbondale Area Elementary School, traveled to Houston, Texas, to provide professional development in science education for the Houston Independent School District.
Andrea was provided this opportunity through the National Science Resource Center (NSRC) of the Smithsonian Institute. The program is a component of the U.S. Department of Education ‘Investing in Innovation’ project being implemented over the next five years in New Mexico, Texas, and North Carolina.
Andrea was part of a leadership team that provided teachers with professional development in using a variety of science modules through inquiry learning, a hands-on approach to science. She is participating in an important research study to help transform science education programs for students and teachers in the three states. This can help advance science education for the country as a whole. Carbondale Area Elementary School educators currently use the modules and inquiry-based science instruction where students learn science through hands on investigations.
