LHS Professional Development
Professional Development Programs
LHS professional development programs give you the skills and the tools to meet today's most compelling needs in science and mathematics education. You'll learn directly from the people who are developing innovative science and mathematics curricula and methods used throughout the country.
Ongoing Professional Development Projects at LHS:
Alliance for Collaborative Change in School Systems (ACCESS)
ACCESS works in partnership with Northern California districts to prepare students for success in college mathematics by inspiring and enabling them to learn prerequisite concepts and skills.
Bay Area Mathematics Project, The (BAMP)
The Bay Area Mathematics Project is one of 19 California Mathematics Project sites providing a forum for professional growth for mathematics teachers in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Bay Area Science Project (BASP)
The Bay Area Science Project, one of 18 California Science Projects across the state, is a professional development network for K–8 science teacher leaders.
BaySci
BaySci is a collaboration between LHS, the Exploratorium and Emery, Newark, Novato, Palo Alto and Petaluma school districts designed to develop and sustain elementary science.
Center for Ocean Science Education Excellence—California (COSEE CA)
COSEE CA is dedicated to promoting Ocean Literacy by creating environments in which collaborations among ocean scientists and K-12 educators flourish.
Communicating Ocean Sciences (COS)
These innovative college courses introduce undergraduates/graduate students in ocean sciences related majors to inquiry-based instructional strategies for communicating their passion for their subject area.
Communicating Ocean Sciences to Informal Audiences (COSIA)
COSIA prepares undergraduates and graduate students to introduce ocean concepts to the public in aquariums and science centers. COSIA introduces college students in ocean sciences related majors to inquiry-based instructional strategies that, combined with students’ content knowledge and enthusiasm for sharing it, equip them to communicate their passion for their subject area.
Communicating Science
Lawrence Hall of Science and UC Berkeley’s College of Chemistry have developed a semester-long college science course entitled Communicating Science.
EQUALS
EQUALS offers programs and publications for educators and parents to raise their awareness of the important role that mathematics plays in a student’s life.
Family Health
Family Health, a collaboration of UC Berkeley's LHS and School of Public Health presents exciting health science activities for families, schools, and community groups.
