Make Science Local: Turning Great Curriculum into Local Learning

​How can we make high quality science curriculum feel relevant to the students sitting in front of us?

​Our latest Innovator Spotlight features an award winning educator and curriculum designer contributing to OpenSciEd and CrunchLabs, with a focus on connecting big scientific ideas to the places and communities students know best.

​His work shows how curriculum can move from “Here’s what climate change looks like” to “Here’s what’s happening in our community. What can we learn from the data, who can we talk to, and what could we do about it?”

​And the best part? Teachers can start exploring OpenSciEd right now. The open access curriculum gives educators high quality science materials that they can adapt and connect to their own communities, bringing real data, local expertise, and locally relevant climate challenges into the classroom.
