High school teachers can be certified to teach forensic science through a free, online program developed at SHSU.
The Texas Education Agency (TEA) recently launched a free, online professional development course for high school teachers assigned to teach Forensic Science. The Department of Forensic Science at Sam Houston State University developed the course.
The professional development course is available to all public K-12 districts and open-enrollment charter schools in Texas through Project Share, TEA's online learning community. The 90-hour course, located at www.projectsharetexas.org, provides academic and hands-on learning activities in forensic science, including safety and the scientific method, crime scene investigations, trace evidence, firearms and tools marks, fingerprints, forensic biology, forensic toxicology, questioned documents, and forensic anthropology.
