Developing and Implementing a Campus-Wide Professional Development Program: Successes and Challenges
By Melissa Vosen Callens, Paul Kelter, Jill Motschenbacher, James Nyachwaya, Jared L. Ladbury, and Anna M. Semanko
Gateways-ND is a 5-year, National Science Foundation–funded effort directed toward three goals: maximizing the instructional effectiveness of postsecondary STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) faculty by building expertise in learner-focused practice, positively impacting student success in STEMbased “gateway” courses, and developing student persistence in STEM learning.

Developing the Next Generation of Elementary Science Teachers
Developing the Next Generation of Elementary Science Teachers
By Tammy D. Lee and Bonnie Glass
This article describes how science educators at a large southeastern university developed specialized science training for elementary preservice teachers (EPSTs) by creating a combination of discipline-specific science content courses (physical, life, and Earth science) and methods courses (formal and informal) known as an elementary science concentration (ESC).
