CAST - Computation and Science for Teachers introduces
computational reasoning and computational tools into the high
school math and science curriculum. PSC and its partners are
creating the CAST Professional Development Program, an
integrated set of modules to train teachers on how to
incorporate computational reasoning and tools such as modeling
and simulation into their curriculum. The first set of modules
present a complete program on how to USE models and simulations
in the classroom. A second set will focus on how to CREATE
models and simulations. All instructional materials will be
available on the CAST website. CAST is a joint program of PSC,
along with the Maryland Virtual High School and the Western PA
Math&Science Collaborative. CMIST - Computational Modules in
Science Teaching brings innovative science tutorials into
secondary school classrooms, focusing on integrative
computational biology, physiology, and biophysics. CMIST modules
include high quality, realistic 3-D animations produced with
