Earth Science by Design(ESBD) is a year-long program of professional
development which may be offered by a school, district, or other
organization to middle and high school Earth science teachers. Developed by
TERC and the American Geological Institute and funded by the National
Science Foundation, ESBD is a field-tested, effective way to develop the
pedagogical and content abilities of teachers.
