Dear Educator,

We are writing to share some news about a significant development at Arizona Science Center as it relates to K-12 education. Effective October 1, the Center for Teacher Success has joined Arizona Science Center and is part of its new Educational Services Division.

Arizona Science Center's strategic intent is to provide Arizona's K-12 education community with a full range of professional development services, including the best of both informal and formal learning pedagogy. The addition of the Center for Teacher Success immediately expands and strengthens Arizona Science Center's educational services and positions us to respond more effectively to the education community's rapidly evolving needs.

Every possible effort is being made to ensure a seamless transition. The Center for Teacher Success will continue to operate under its name and all current and future clients will have uninterrupted access to its workshops and academies. Chris Heller, Chief Operating Officer, will lead the new division at Arizona Science Center as Vice President of Educational Services and will be joined by all members of the Center for Teacher Success' staff. A new Chief learning Officer is expected to be hired by the end of October who will also be joining this division.

We look forward to working with you in the coming months and are excited to keep you up to date on new programs and opportunities for you and your staff as they occur.

For additional information, please feel free contact Chris Heller at hellerc@azscience.org or 602-716-2019 ext.119.

Sincerely,
