District Leaders:

Are your teachers worried about implementing the Missouri Learning Standards for Science? Do you want to provide sustained attention to strategies that foster positive science learning experiences for all students?

Provide your teachers with four days of learning with a grade-alike cohort of teachers from local districts, in which they will:

Experience an explore before explain lesson sequence

Construct formative and summative explanatory models of phenomena

Develop a class Driving Question Board (DQB) and summary table to motivate learning and track progress

Use productive discussion and norms to engage students in more equitable and rigorous science conversations that support their sensemaking

NGSS Science Academies are led by coaches from the Institute for School Partnership at Washington University in St. Louis and hosted in local school districts.
