The Alaska Science Consortium (ASC) is a coalition of teachers, districts, and the Alaska Dept of Education and Early Development (EED) working together to improve the teaching of science using State and National Standards and the ASC Learning Cycle Model. The Consortium involves scientists and teachers in the training of their colleagues in inquiry science, process, skills, and content knowledge as it relates to the local environment, child development theory, and developmentally appropriate practice. The core of the ASC is a training for two weeks at a Summer Institute with a mandatory distance delivery course that is Internet and audio conference based in the fall.
