DC ACTS goals are to facilitate your capacity to improve your content knowledge, classroom instruction strategies and resources, and assessment for tailoring instruction in your subject area. Then you can provide more rigorous and standards-based course content for your classes and improve opportunities for your students to learn science through inquiry. More...
