Next Steps Institute
The Next Steps Institute (NSI) offers advanced leadership development training to teams and individuals dedicated to making lasting, systemic change in their science education system.
This three-day program features thematic pathways that take participants through a deep dive of one specific issue in the field of science education. This immersive learning environment allows participants the space and time to deeply engage with the most pressing issues in science education and develop new knowledge that they will be able to bring back to their team and their community.
Pathways are interspersed with Salon Sessions, which deliver quick 75-minute info bites about projects, results and strategies. We welcome participants to register for The Next Steps Institute as individuals, or as a 3-person team.
