SC2: Scientifically Connected CommunitiesInspiring the next generation of scientists!

Scientifically Connected Communities (SC2), based at New Mexico State University, is dedicated to improving the scientific literacy of southern New Mexico students by providing professional development and support for 5th-8th grade teachers. Our focus is to i   ncrease teacher science content knowledge and to promote inquiry-based curriculum in the classroom. SC2 collaborates with teachers, school districts, and other educational organizations in a consolidated effort to improve student academic achievement.

SC2 hosts week-long summer institutes and professional development workshops during the school year. The summer institutes for 2008 will be held during the weeks of June 9-13 and July 14-18.
