Our work is premised on a set of philosophical beliefs foundational to the multi-institutional work of the CSP that provides quality science education through ongoing development and support of teachers’ content knowledge and leadership.
· Good citizens are scientifically literate individuals
· All students have an opportunity to understand, appreciate, and enjoy science
· Teachers have effective teaching skills
· Effective science education bridges differences in language development, class, equity, and access
· Inquiry drives the critical thinking skills and habits of mind necessary in science.
