Mi-STAR is a professional learning network that connects educators from across the state who are committed to improving science education outcomes for students.
We know that the shift to NGSS pedagogy is going to take significant time and effort, and we have to do it together if we want to be most successful. Mi-STAR educators have access to Mi-STAR's team of science and engineering experts, as well as their fellow educators from around the state, as they implement Mi-STAR. Likewise, Mi-STAR staff learn from our facilitators and classroom teachers, making changes and updates to the curriculum and professional learning in response to their classroom experience.

Beyond these sessions, educators who subscribe to Mi-STAR have the opportunity to connect with each other and the Mi-STAR team of scientists and engineers through the following outlets:
