Date

Duration
11 months
Description
Building from the success of their middle school science curriculum and professional learning model, OpenSciEd has begun the development of high school science courses. Instructional materials alone are insufficient to support the necessary shifts to impact student learning. Teachers need high-quality curriculum-based professional learning to adapt and enact these science materials. This grant will allow the University of Colorado at Boulder to create a dedicated team to develop a curriculum-based professional learning program to support OpenSciEd high school science courses. The project will a) develop professional learning materials for the program, b) lead multi-day professional learning workshops with facilitators from participating states, c) communicate with facilitators and teachers between workshop sessions, and d) curate video recordings of classroom science instruction.
