Partner School Systems

BSC faculty and CityLab staff collaborate with teachers and administrators from partner school districts to develop innovative programs that meet their specific needs.  The CityLab faculty and staff members teach professional development workshops and graduate-level courses for classroom teachers.  Once trained, these teachers are qualified to borrow equipment from CityLab’s lending laboratories for use at their schools.  In turn, teachers from partner schools test and evaluate materials with their students and help BSC CityLab staff develop relevant and user-friendly curriculum guides and classroom resources.
