The Wisconsin Science Network includes individuals selected as a Point of Contact in Wisconsin public and private schools, universities, and colleges. They are grouped into area sharing communities. Each community is a network of professionals who can share information, accomplishments, and expertise. The sharing is accomplished through web-based communications and through direct contact with other Points of Contact.
Serve as a conduit for bringing professional development information to their school and to the area network. Receive and provide data and feedback about the impact of Wisconsin and national directions in science education.
Share with other Points of Contact - Information about events, programs, activities, and curriculum Problems and success, and Teaching and content expertise
Many schools require a professional development plan. The WSN could be part of your plan as it reflects Wisconsin Standard 10 for Licensure: Connected with others in the larger community to support pupil learning.
PoC's receive information about national and state programs for teachers and students from NSTA and WSN.
The WSN is a source for answering your questions. Through the Network you have access to over 20,000 individuals with expertise and information.
And for many intangible reasons such as being part of a cutting edge program and information, personal involvement with colleagues, recognition, and equally important, a chance to make a difference.
There is no registration or online cost. The network is free. NSTA provides the communication link through www.nsta.org/bap.
