Instructional Materials
Our curriculum is based on the Next Generation Science Standards(NGSSNext Generation Science Standards More) that were adopted by Washington state in 2013. Our courses are researched, field-tested, and evaluated in classrooms by small teams of expert teachers, university science educators, and scientists. Teachers are trained on using the appropriate curricula through year-round professional development.
