Arizona Science Center’s Science Teacher Residency Program (STaR)

STaR is an innovative, hands-on program that is led by expert facilitators and content specialists focused on addressing common misconceptions about STEM subjects that are often taught in the classroom. STaR starts with four days of instruction at Arizona Science Center and one day of asynchronous learning. The program gives participants the tools to take these same lessons back to their schools and classrooms.

Participating teachers also receive ongoing coaching and mentoring opportunities. At the end of the program, they will walk away with all the materials needed to create lesson plans to effectively teach what they’ve learned.
