Our team of experienced curriculum specialists will work collaboratively with educators to develop rigorous curriculum standards and objectives for core classes, with a specific emphasis on science and mathematics, that are aligned with the state and local standards. This will ensure that curriculum content is relevant, engaging, and conducive to student learning and achievement.

We offer targeted professional development opportunities for educators in content-specific areas of science, including chemistry, physics, earth and environmental sciences, and life sciences. Through workshops, seminars, and hands-on training sessions, educators will deepen their content knowledge, refine instructional strategies, and gain practical insights into effective science teaching practices.

Our professional development workshops will focus on essential science skills concepts to support student success, including:

• Inquiry-based science: Strategies for fostering inquiry, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills in students.

• Reading in the content area: Techniques for improving literacy skills and comprehension of scientific and historical texts.

• Cross-cutting concepts for college success in science: Instruction on effective study strategies, note-taking methods such as Cornell Notes, building science vocabulary, technical writing, and constructing CER (Claim-Evidence-Reasoning) reports.

Many of these skills transcend to other disciplines and provide a comprehensive academic skills base for students that will serve them through college.

Our team-building workshops are designed to promote collaboration, communication, and cohesion among middle school educators. Through interactive activities and collaborative planning sessions, educators will learn how to integrate curriculum across disciplines, fostering interdisciplinary connections and enhancing the overall learning experience for students.
