Teacher professional development is accepted as a key ingredient in the support and improvement of K-12 science education nationwide. Since 1993 Montana State University-Bozeman has operated a large-scale experimental program in online science instruction designed specifically for in-service teachers. With NSF support, MSU's National Teachers Enhancement Network (NTEN) has delivered courses to over 7000 enrollees in all 50 states and beyond, using a delivery model that emphasizes student interactivity and the connections between science understanding and classroom practice. Although NTEN offers courses in a wide range of science areas, physics and astronomy have been the strongest focus. As well as providing an overview of the project, we will discuss strengths and difficulties in this form of instruction, based on participant feedback, studies by the project's external evaluation team, and a decade of personal experience. We will also comment on potential impacts of NCLB on the future of such efforts. *Supported by NSF Grant TE0101985
