The course:
Becoming a Next-Gen Science Teacher (BNGST) prepares teachers preK-12 to engage their students in the core science practices of modeling, argument, and explanation about puzzling phenomena in the world around them. Participants learn how to build a classroom culture for robust sensemaking, student agency, and equitable participation. Through collaboration in doing science and exploring rich video cases, participants gain a variety of tools and resources to take back to their classrooms – to learn with and from their students. This course is highly interactive and collaborative, and it centers equity and agency for students and teachers.
Please read through each question or statement carefully. Eligibility for stipends and course completion is dependent on question responses.
