Alaska Science Consortium

The Alaska Science Consortium (ASC) is a coalition of teachers and school districts 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 distance delivery course offered in the fall that is Internet and audio conference based.

The 2010 summer institute will be held in Bethel, AK from May 24th - June 4th. This summer's focus will be Physical Science.
