We are excited to celebrate our new OpenSciEd facilitator certification by offering two Certified OpenSciEd Professional Learning workshops. The 2-day launch workshop will provide teachers with unit specific content and pedagogy required to teach the OpenSciEd award-winning curriculum effectively.

The Middle School workshop will take place May 29th and May 30th and is for teachers in grades 6, 7 or 8. The workshop will take place at Rutgers New Brunswick from 9am – 3pm.
