The Israeli TEMI case: Adaptation of TEMI modules to the local context

In Israel, the TEMI team at the Weizmann Institute of Science led two types of training programs: One which was open to all chemistry and science teachers (four cohorts), and the other which was part of a chemistry teachers' course at the Weizmann Institute (two cohorts). Overall, 120 teachers underwent intensive TEMI training at the Weizmann institute. The teachers were recruited through: (1) personal communication (via teachers who have undergone a CPD course at the Weizmann Institute previously), (2) the National Center for Chemistry Teacher, and (3) advertising in appropriate local science education websites.
