Science 21 continues its mission to actively engage students with authentic science and engineering practices through hands-on and minds-on investigations in the classroom. Knowing that the ELS assesses students using online tools including but not limited to text boxes for constructed response items and drawing tools for constructing models, we are promoting an Enhanced version.

Teachers receive ongoing technical support on: creating and/or importing classes from Google Classroom; adding students; creating and viewing assignments (switching between teacher and student view); helping students submit completed assignments; grading notifications; reassigning student work for resubmission; exporting grades; strategically incorporating SAQs; and other technology needs that arise.

Teachers will pilot the STEM Sims platform throughout the 25-26 school year and will earn 4 CTLE credits for completing four feedback sessions. All sessions will be held virtually on Zoom from 3:30-4:30pm.

Space is limited to the first 50 Science 21 GRADE 3 teachers who register.
