U.S. Teacher Opportunity with Stipend through Biological Sciences Curriculum Study
BSCS (Biological Sciences Curriculum Study), a non-profit curriculum study committed to transforming science teaching and learning, is excited to announce a field-test opportunity for middle school life science teachers (grades 6-9) in the United States.
BSCS is working on Three-Dimensional Teaching and Learning for Middle School Science (3DMSS), an NSF-funded unit on body systems with professional development for teachers.
3DMSS, developed in collaboration with Oregon Public Broadcasting, incorporates:
- an emphasis on using evidence to construct an understanding of disciplinary core ideas and crosscutting concepts
- video-based lesson analysis professional development
- rich media experiences to promote understanding of difficult concepts
Field-test teachers are critical in helping us design and improve programs like 3DMSS.
The field test runs September 2017 to December 2018. Teachers will receive a $2,000 stipend over the two academic years for their participation.
If you are interested in being a field-test teacher, visit www.bscs.org/3DMSS-field-test for more information and to apply online. Deadline: Dec. 2, 2016.
