New Are you ready to dive-in to the OpenSciEd high school materials? Join us for the virtual OpenSciEd High School Curriculum Launch! You'll leave with everything you need to get started, including a comprehensive understanding of the OpenSciEd high school curriculum, how to implement it in your classroom, and how to facilitate professional learning for other educators (if attending the facilitator sessions). The developers of the OpenSciEd curriculum are excited to give you the tools and professional learning needed to help you make OpenSciEd high school come alive in your classroom, school district, or other context.
During these sessions, you will:
- Immerse yourself in teaching and learning best practices anchored in compelling phenomena and in important community and global problems.
- Engage in lessons as a 'student.'
- Reflect as a teacher and apply learning to your own context.
- Become an expert in navigating the resources embedded in the OpenSciEd materials so you can maximize your impact on student engagement and learning.
The majority of the three days will be spent diving into the first unit in the content area of your choice (Biology, Chemistry, or Physics). You will also come together with all three content areas to discuss and reflect on the routines and resources that promote equitable science learning in high school.
Focal units for this event:
- Biology Unit 1: Ecosystems: Interactions, Energy, Dynamics
- Chemistry Unit 1: Thermodynamics in Earth's Systems
- Physics Unit 1: Energy Flow from Earth's Systems
