BSC CityLab provides programs to strengthen the knowledge base and skills of in-service and pre-service teachers. The projects for teachers include graduate level courses designed to provide content knowledge in biotechnology and biomedicine; training with the hands-on inquiry-based CityLab modules to be used in their classroom; in-service workshops to introduce the CityLab curricula; and invited presentations at professional meetings. Teacher professional development graduate level courses associated with a National Institute of Health Science Education Partnership Award (SEPA, Phase I, 2000-2004) involved over ninety participants.
