Join us for this two-day OpenSciEd experience intended for K-8 science teachers, coaches, and administrators who are interested in strengthening NGSS-aligned instruction through high-quality instructional materials (HQIM). Participants will explore how OpenSciEd supports student-centered teaching and learning by engaging students in making sense of and explaining real-world phenomena. Across both days, educators will participate in core OpenSciEd instructional routines and pedagogies, collaborate with peers and instructional coaches, and take a close look at a grade-level-specific OpenSciEd unit to begin planning for meaningful classroom implementation.
