The STEM Education Center in partnership with the Massachusetts Department of Elementary & Secondary Education (DESE) will host a 2-day training session for science teachers and coaches focused on the new Science Performance Assessments (SPA). The Professional Development Team of the STEM Education Center has been working with DESE on high-quality science instruction this past year through a grant. About 80 educators are expected at the training that will take place in the Odeum this Thursday and Friday, Nov. 30 and Dec. 1. We thank the WPI community for welcoming the teachers to WPI.
