Engaging Learning Experience
mySci supports teachers to instill a love of science in their students through lessons that are phenomena-based, designed for 5E learning progression, and build on students’ prior knowledge. The curriculum is centered around solving real-world problems through experiential learning and critical thinking.
Partnership is in our name
- mySci Instructional Specialists are experienced educators who work with partner schools/districts to assess needs and develop implementation plans.
- mySci offers in-school, hands-on PD at the start of each unit. Classroom support incorporates best practices and empowers educators by building confidence in both content and pedagogy.
- mySci year-round professional learning is customizable, available on a wide range of topics, and is targeted and tiered. Online learning options are available.
Community
mySci teachers value learning from each other and sharing ideas and experiences around the mySci curricula and kits. Throughout the year, mySci instructional specialists provide networking opportunities such as the annual mySci Unconference and regional content professional development opportunities, including full day Summer Institutes.
