NJSTA's OpenSciEd PLC

This free, statewide PLC is intended to be a resource for teachers for all New Jersey teachers and administrators using OpenSciEd curriculum or wanting to know more!  

• This PLC has no structured agenda. Topics may include sensemaking, anchoring phenomena routines, Driving Question Boards and other OSE pedagogy, according to the interest of the attendees.

• If we have enough attendees working on the same unit, you will be welcome to join a breakout room where you can talk about unit-specific questions & answers.  

• Since this state-wide PLC is the first of its kind, we plan to be flexible and see what future times and formats work best for attendees. If you would like to suggest a different PLC time, answer this one-question survey.

• NJSTA will provide Professional Development hours for attendance.

• The OpenSciEd PLC is hosted by OpenSciEd High School and Middle School Facilitator Dr. Mariel Kolker.

• NJSTA is a OpenSciEd Certified Provider.

Questions can be directed to njstapresident@gmail.com.

We are hope to see you at the OpenSciEd PLC!
