Abstract: Program Features • Certificates are offered through MSU, creator of the National Teachers Enhancement Network. NTEN has been known since 1993 for high-quality online science courses. • Science certificates are designed for teachers of all backgrounds; fellow students will be K-12 teachers, community college instructors, museum professionals and informal science educators. Students will learn along with peers from around the world; absorbing new ideas and fresh perspectives. • Courses are rigorous, content-focused and specially designed for teachers. NTEN's model pairs university professors with in-service teachers during course development. • Instructors are experts in their fields; having been specially trained in online teaching. • Courses are 100% online without the need to come to the MSU campus. However, there are several field experience courses available. • Courses are asynchronous; allowing students to log in any time of the day or night. In order to maximize interaction among students, instructors will set weekly schedules and assignment deadlines. • Our NTEN team offers fast, friendly, one-on-one support from the application process to certificate completion.
