Resources for OpenSciEd Educators

  • A commitment to learn alongside students:

    OSE is a big change from “business as usual” and will require teachers to learn and grow just as their students do as they test new cutting edge approaches to science instruction.

  • An investment in professional learning:

    Professional learning is critical to ensuring educators understand the curriculum’s pedagogical shifts and feel well equipped to implement.

  • Embracing discourse in the classroom:

    OSE units are centered on an anchoring phenomenon designed to elicit and feed student curiosity. Units are driven forward by students’ ideas, questions and classroom discussion.

  • Collaboration with other educators:

    Getting started with OSE can be daunting. Resources we offer, such as coaching and networking with other Massachusetts OSE educators, can help teachers feel confident to hit the ground running.

Professional learning for teachers

Professional Learning:

OpenSciEd’s unit-specific professional learning is critical to effectively implementing this cutting edge curriculum. OSE is effective because it is not just a new curriculum; it is a new philosophy. The PL ensures that teachers have the understanding and skills they need to incorporate the philosophical changes necessary to help students reach sensemaking.
