Foundations of NGSS

A two-day, in-person course at Griffin MSI (February 9–10, 2027) for educators who want a strong foundation in NGSS-aligned science teaching. Participants unpack what the standards ask of students, experience three-dimensional instruction in action, analyze curriculum coherence, and learn to plan lessons that support meaningful sense-making. Designed for K–8 science teachers, curriculum specialists and administrators; completion is required before enrolling in Planning for Success with the NGSS. Lunch and parking included; free registration for applicants from Priority Schools and current SLI School Partners. Registration opens roughly three months before the workshop.
