Do you have what it takes to be a Rockstar Science Teacher? The New Jersey Science Learning Standards are based on the Next Generation Science Standards and focus on high-quality instruction and science learning for all. Has your pedagogy changed to fit the 3D nature of the standards? Research shows that students learn best when they are the ones constructing their own knowledge through the process of making sense of situations.

Learn how to use scientific phenomena to drive instruction. Discover how to get students to generate their own questions. Create opportunities for student discussions and learn techniques for how to assess 3D learning.

The Rockstar Science Teacher Professional Learning Series is designed to help you understand the pedagogical shift from traditional to contemporary science teaching that is part of NGSS.

The inaugural 2023-24 season will have of four, 1.5 hour webinars.
