Abstract

The Online Initiative to Support Content Development in the Middle Schools is a collaborative partnership among the Northwestern State University College of Education, the NSU Space Science Group, and the Louisiana Middle School Association which provides 45 hours of Continual Learning Unit training for middle school educators delivered electronically in each of the areas of science and math, along with a facilitator's guide for all training. The primary goal of this initiative is to collaboratively develop, implement, and continue the online delivery of math and science content-based professional development material to Louisiana middle school teachers.
