BSCS Science Learning

Biology teachers: are your students memorizing biology… or actually figuring it out? 🔬

If you’ve ever felt stuck between “covering content” and creating meaningful inquiry, these BSCS Biology: Understanding for Life Open Enrollment Teacher Institutes were designed for you.

In each live virtual institute, you’ll experience a full unit as a student first, then unpack the instructional moves that make real sensemaking possible in your classroom.

🦠 Unit 1: Infectious Diseases | 🧬 Unit 2: Hereditary-Genetic Disease | ⚡Unit 3: Matter & Energy | 🌎 Unit 4: Biodiversity & Humans

You’ll leave with:
✔ Practical strategies you can use immediately
✔ Confidence facilitating inquiry-driven learning
✔ Tools to support student discussion and reasoning
✔ A clearer path beyond lectures + memorization

This isn’t sit-and-get PD. It’s immersive, classroom-connected professional learning built for real biology classrooms.

Spots are limited and going fast!

Dear Environmental Science Educators,

NAAEE, BSCS Science Learning, and The FieldScope Project are conducting a national survey to better understand the current state of high school environmental science education — including what teachers teach, how instructional decisions are made, and what resources and support are most needed.

We invite you to participate if you are a high school teacher in the United States who teaches environmental science as a dedicated course or as part of a broader science class. The survey takes approximately 15 minutes.

Your responses will directly inform the development and dissemination of resources for environmental science educators nationwide. All responses are anonymous and results will be reported in aggregate.

Findings will be shared with the broader science education community through the NAAEE and BSCS Science Learning websites, as well as via email once the study is complete. Learn more about this survey on the NAAEE blog.

Take the Survey → https://www.research.net/r/EnviroHSsurvey

Know other high school science teachers? Please tag them or share the survey link with your networks — every response helps us better represent the environmental science teaching community.

Thank you for your time and for everything you do to inspire the next generation of environmental stewards.
