You Don’t Have to Do This Alone
When you start teaching OpenSciEd, it’s normal to have questions. You might begin by exploring units and trying lessons before realizing you want a little more support with planning, pacing, or facilitating student sensemaking.
That’s exactly why our professional learning exists. Whether you’re just getting started or looking to deepen your practice, you can choose the type of support that best fits your needs.
I feel like OpenSciEd really wants me to succeed.

Some teachers want more than quick answers. You may want space to slow down, plan intentionally, and make sense of the curriculum with others who are teaching it as well.
The OpenSciEd Teacher Academy: Foundations offers structured, curriculum-based professional learning that will help you,
- Making sense of OpenSciEd’s instructional approach and routines
- Planning for units and lessons you teach
- Anticipating students’ thinking to plan for rich classroom discussions
- Using curriculum materials as tools, not scripts
- Connect with a community of OpenSciEd teachers
Professional learning is helping me build my confidence to be an effective science teacher. One big piece of feedback I get from my students is, “You’re so passionate about it.” Being in this professional learning community stokes that flame!
