• Teams of three to six science leaders are invited to attend this professional learning opportunity aimed at planning for science professional learning in your district to support shifts towards phenomenon-based, three-dimensional science teaching and learning.
• Teams will leverage their collective previous immersive experiences in phenomenon-based, three-dimensional science to design a professional learning plan specific to the needs of teachers in their district.
• Teams must include at least one administrator. Remaining team members should be either explicit or implicit science education leaders.

Important Prerequisites:

1. At least one administrator on your team needs to have attended the Administrator-Focused Science Professional Learning offered at the AIU.

All other team members need to have previously attended either: Digging into phenomenon-based, three-dimensional science learning OR one of the three-day Science Institutes for K-12 Educators (e.g., Elementary Science, K-2 STEM, Grades 3-5 Science, Secondary Science, Life Sciences for Secondary Teachers, Physical Sciences for Secondary Educators) OR Framework Book Study.

Please adhere to these prerequisite requirements for attendance.
