Region 17 is fortunate to have a strong community of Science Educators! Teachers throughout our region are highly motivated to continue their own learning which, in turn, helps to increase student learning. Our service center is committed to providing our teachers with the highest quality professional development. In addition to professional development we provide on site support for our campuses and science educators.
