Welcome!
We are so glad that you're able to join us for the 2014 National Science Education Leadership Development Forum right here in the DC Metropolitan area. We have a day filled with hands-on activities led by our two facilitators, Dr. Leema Berland and Dr. Katherine McNeill. They will guide us through careful discussion and analysis of how to support scientific practices in the classroom and beyond by using three key practices: explanation, argumentation, and modeling.
