We are dedicated to improving science education at GVSU. We try to accomplish this by learning together about education in the various science disciplines, and exploring the resources available in science education nationally and locally. Currently we are trying to form an Institute to meet in Summer 2000 to investigate the possiblity of a Master's of Science in Science Education.
Current members of the group include:
