GEMS Center
The Amgen Center for Science Learning is also the Los Angeles County GEMS Center. GEMS (Great Exploration in Math and Science) centers are affiliated with the Lawrence Hall of Science and offer workshops and activity based learning materials to educators in their communities. GEMS publications present a wide range of supplementary science and math learning experiences for preschool through eighth grade. These activities motivate and engage students in standards based concepts through experimentation and direct experience. The effective, easily understood instructions in each GEMS unit and network supported workshops enable participating teachers to become facilitators of high quality math and science activities.
Annenberg Media
Many Annenberg/CPB Math and Science Project courses are available at the Kresa Educator Resource Hall. These courses come in a variety of lengths and include video, print and online components that can be used independently or as part of group workshops for teachers at all levels. They offer targeted professional development sessions that are concentrated on improving teaching skills and understanding of specific curricular areas and grade levels.
