Teaches: professional development for science teachers

CTR Review

This is a very nice series of online professional development courses for science teachers. Each course is authored and taught by AMNH museum scientists, and runs six weeks with an additional week for assignment completion. Course fees are $445 per course with additional fees if you want to take it for graduate or continuing education credit. As of January 2005, course titles include "The Diversity of Fishes", "Earth: Inside and Out", "Genetics, Genomics and Genethics" and "Space, Time and Motion". We found the courses easy to navigate, interesting, and deep in content. Assignments include essays and participation in online discussions. Visit http://learn.amnh.org.
