During each training workshop, CMB scientists model the delivery of course content and provide intensive laboratory instruction to teacher participants in a condensed, 6-day format that follows the same chronological sequence (and that makes use of the same instructional materials) for classroom implementation by teachers (click here for the daily schedule of each training workshop). At the conclusion of this training segment, teachers are eligible to receive a complete suite of instructional materials, scientific equipment, and supplies needed to guide their students through the full 16-unit curriculum sequence in their own science classrooms and laboratories.

All teacher participants are required to attend an annual learning community meeting as a condition of their enrollment. These meetings are designed for teachers to share their experiences, and discuss the specific challenges that they encountered and how they were overcome. The learning community meeting will be scheduled after all teachers have implemented the program in their classrooms/labs.
