"Implementing OpenSciEd MS" Professional Learning. REGISTRATION CLOSING SOON!

Registration for these courses is closing soon!

OpenSciEd provides high-quality, open-source, full-course science instructional materials and professional development. For FREE.

Every teacher deserves to feel confident using their instructional materials. Experienced WA state OpenSciEd teachers will facilitate no-cost introductory professional development sessions to support teacher success to implement this free middle school science curriculum.

Implementing OpenSciEd class structure: In the first 2 hour zoom meeting, you'll be introduced to the unit and experience the first lesson as a student would.  At that meeting, you'll join an asynchronous canvas course to learn more about the rest of the unit at your own pace over the next 2 weeks. At the second zoom meeting, you will learn about the important assessments in the unit and have the opportunity to ask your facilitators questions about how they successfully implemented OpenSciEd with their students. Sign up via PDenroller links below.
