AB: The National Center for Earth-surface Dynamics (NCED) has developed three inter-locking programs to integrate Teacher Professional Development into the Center. These programs address teachers at two stages of professional development: post-baccalaureate pre-service teachers enrolled in masters programs and in-service teachers. Formal and informal methods are used to involve teachers in NCED research and in NCED's informal public education programs, exhibits and outdoor park at the Science Museum of Minnesota. This session will present the methods we are developing and our results to date. It will also introduce materials we currently make available through our online Education Portal.
