What makes high-quality science instructional materials high-quality?

"SPRING SESSION" of STANYS Professional Learning!

Presenter: Amy Ascherman [Sponsor: Great Minds]

What sets high-quality science instructional materials apart from traditional curricula? It’s the coherence, rigor, and knowledge-building components that help transform the classroom into a hands-on, student-driven environment while providing the supports for teacher empowerment. Such materials help students achieve a deep understanding of science concepts that provides a foundation for future science learning, with the idea to be scalable even for those who may seek a PhD later in life. In this session, we’ll walk you through the reasoning behind the design of PhD Science®, the highly rated K–5 phenomenon-based science curriculum from Great Minds®, and discuss the positive impact it has on students, teachers, and the classroom.
