REVIEWS
"Background info about the history and development was very interesting. Staff was excellent, friendly and knowledgeable, and interested in my questions. The sessions were informative and pacing was well thought out."

"The SEPUP Academy was a great experience. By collaborating with other SEPUP colleagues, I gained a better understanding of how to integrate SEPUP into my classroom. More importantly, working with classroom teachers helped me to improve my training techniques. By talking to teachers in the Academy workshops, I gained valuable insight as to what teachers need from training sessions. I really enjoyed it!"

"…Thanks for a wonderful program…I am excited about next year and accomplishing even more with the Lab-Aids Issues and Earth Science…. The icing on an already wonderful year was that I had the highest science scores in the school…One last thing, several of my students nominated me for a local award through a TV station called "My Teacher is Tops". And yes I totally attribute the nomination to the SEPUP kit! The students said I made science fun and exciting, but it was LAB-AIDS all the way!!"
