Are you ready to dive-in to the OpenSciEd high school materials? Join us for the first virtual OpenSciEd High School Curriculum Launch! You’ll leave with everything you need to get started, including a comprehensive understanding of the OpenSciEd high school curriculum, how to implement it in your classroom, and how to facilitate professional learning for other educators (if attending the facilitator sessions). The developers of the OpenSciEd curriculum are excited to give you the tools and professional learning needed to help you make OpenSciEd high school come alive in your classroom, school district, or other context.

During these sessions, you will immerse yourself in teaching and learning best practices to help you build science learning experiences anchored in compelling phenomena and in important community and global problems. You will engage in lessons as a ‘student’, reflect as a teacher, and become an expert in navigating the resources embedded in the OpenSciEd materials so you can maximize your impact on student engagement and learning. The majority of the four days will be spent diving into the first unit in the content area of your choice (Biology, Chemistry, or Physics). You will also come together with all three content areas to discuss and reflect on the routines and resources that promote equitable science learning in high school.

• Biology Unit 1: Ecosystems: Interactions, Energy, Dynamics
