"The professional development provided by the LAB-AIDS team has been first rate. They began by helping us to prioritize our needs and develop a long-term plan for staff development that could grow and change as our teachers grew. Their knowledgeable staff helped us to adapt LAB-AIDS curriculums to our state standards while maintaining the fidelity of the story line. This was vital to the success of the program. The trainers were experienced and knowledgeable, not only about the exemplary LAB-AIDS curriculums, but also in science content and the challenges of teaching middle grade students. The trainers were experts in adult learning strategies. Even those teachers who were reluctant to participate left feeling that the time was well spent. The LAB-AIDS staff has met all of our staff development
needs, (even some we didn’t know that we had!)."
