What is Building a Presence for Science?
Building a Presence for Science is a National Science Teachers Association initiative that has created and established a network of science educators who are connected electronically. It is a vehicle for information dissemination and communication. Through the electronic network, teachers of science become aware of professional development opportunities, science resource materials, and funding programs within their area, region, state, and/or at the national level. These communications are intended to help a teacher expand and develop their expertise in teaching science for learning. Within each state the BaP network has the flexibility to work with the supporting associations and agencies to develop and deliver professional development workshops along with the dissemination of information.
