At some sites, stipends and/or free tuition are available for in-state
teachers. Teachers nationwide can apply for a stipend at Miami FL.

Modeling Workshops are peer-led.  Content is re-organized around basic
models to increase its structural coherence. Participants are supplied with
a complete set of course materials and work through activities alternately
in the roles of student or teacher, as they practice techniques of guided
inquiry and cooperative learning.

Modeling Instruction is recognized by the U.S. Department of Education as
an EXEMPLARY K-12 science program.
