South Bend Tribune : An informal, local program to help elementary- and middle-school teachers improve science lessons has expanded from its original base in South Bend, Indiana, to cover the entire state of Indiana. As Gene Stowe of the South Bend Tribune reports, the program was started in the late 1990s by two physics professors and a chemistry outreach coordinator. It entails an intensive, three-week training session for teachers. Now, thanks to charitable funding, the program, which began with one school in Mishawaka, now involves 1000 teachers statewide.
