NGSS Model Lessons

Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) Professional Development

IMSA’s Center for Teaching and Learning provides NGSS-aligned professional development trainings and model lessons for educators and students. Customized learning experiences for your team, school, or district engage educators in constructing activities that support K-5 Next Generation Science Standards, identifying gaps in current science curricula, and creating lessons in collaboration with IMSA specialists and colleagues. Our team is available to host in-person professional development at IMSA, visit local schools, or provide consultation online.
