Join the Wade Institute for Science Education and our partners for unique professional development courses that connect you with hands-on, minds-on, inquiry-based investigations and increase your STEM content knowledge! Our institutes will connect you with scientists, engineers, and STEM professionals through live discussions and virtual site visits. Work with educators at our partner institutions to explore real-world phenomena through hands-on, minds-on investigations. Explore how to use these investigations with your students both remotely and in the classroom. Earn PDPs and optional graduate credits. Receive a toolkit containing materials to enable you to complete the inquiry-based, minds-on, hands-on investigations introduced during the course. As an added bonus, you will be invited to participate in optional field sessions with our partners when their facilities reopen to the public (free of charge). All courses include 5 virtual sessions plus 15 hours of online learning.
