CAMSE's mission is to promote effective and meaningful teaching and learning of science and mathematics at all levels. Areas of emphasis include:
Resource Materials - Sample Math and Science Curricula: The Center houses a library of research-based instructional materials for both mathematics and science that can be checked out by practicing and prospective teachers.
Professional Development Programs for Teachers - The Center offers a wide range of professional development workshops and consultations to school districts throughout South Dakota and the surrounding region. Please contact the Center for more information at 605.642.6873.
Sanford Lab Education and Outreach - The Education and Outreach program is a collaborative venture between Sanford Underground Research Facility and Black Hills State University.
Keep up to date with happenings at Sanford Underground Research Facility by visiting the Sanford Underground Research Facility website.
The Center provides a number of opportunities for teachers to develop expertise in promoting meaningful learning of mathematics and science.
