At CRDG, we believe that in order to produce real change through program implementation, teachers must be provided with on-going professional development opportunities.

Our programs are designed with significant professional development components that incorporate the most up-to-date research in teaching and learning, model successful instructional strategies, increase teachers' content knowledge in the subject area, and help teachers address state and national standards.

 

Summer 2011 Course Listing

 

2011 Science Courses

In light of the pending implementation of Common Core State Standards in science, CRDG has suspended offering professional development teacher institutes in support of new implementations of its science programs Developmental Approaches in Science, Health and Technology (DASH) and Foundational Approaches in Science Teaching (FAST). CRDG will provide support services for existing users of these science programs; costs are negotiable.

 

CRDG continues to provide teacher professional development institutes supporting its high school marine science and physics programs.
