NGSS Foundations Virtual Course
An asynchronous learning experience for K-12 educators of science.
Three modules, each with three sessions for a total of nine hours of professional learning
Self-paced using a Free for Teacher account on Canvas.
Interact with job-alike educators in the virtual discussion spaces.
Learn using videos, readings, discussion boards, and many opportunities for self-reflection.
"I'm very impressed with the asynchronous NGSS course developed by Britta and Heather. It fills a niche for onboarding new teachers and schools while being flexible with scheduling. It's nice to have a course created by experienced teachers who have seen and understand the pedagogical shifts required by NGSS."
Paul Andersen, founder of Bozeman Science
Course Goals
1
Provide teachers and administrators with the foundations needed to implement and build rich, authentic, student-driven science experiences that are aligned to the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS).
2
Build competency in understanding the framework of NGSS, the teaching and learning shifts, and how to evaluate lessons and resources for alignment.
3
Bring together educators to collaborate in a virtual space to promote the sharing of ideas, examples, questions, responses, and needs in both divisional and job alike spaces.

What Past Participants Have Said...
"I liked that it was self-paced, that it provided a comprehensive overview of the NGSS, and provided links to many free resources. I also liked that it was created & delivered by teachers"
“For me Module 2 just made everything click. I feel I finally understand what an NGSS Science Class looks like and I understand the reason why.”
