SciPacks are similar to short mini-courses, tailored to specific pieces of science content. Teachers can acquire 10 hours of intensely focused science content based on their individual needs. The courses are online and provide embedded assessments and a final assessment that indicate to participants, and to WVDE, teacher competence and success in mastering the science content. NSTA offered support through a content discussion forum; an “ask a wizard” content resource; and quick, responsive technical assistance. Compared to traditional face-to-face trainings, NSTA’s SciPacks to be a cost-efficient and effective method for delivering high-quality science content to teachers.
