North Central Educational Service District (NCESD) Managing Director of Science Education Mechelle LaLanne has recently returned from a week-long training at the Smithsonian Science Education Center’s Strategic Planning Institute in Washington D.C. LaLanne attended as an invited observer, with the intent to return to NCESD districts with the presented LASER model. During the July 23-27 training, she was also asked to help answer questions about the next Smithsonian Science for the Classroom curriculum modules, which are being implemented by the NCESD STEM Materials Center.
