The NJDOE and Liberty Science Center are collaborating with OpenSciEd to develop high school science courses. We are recruiting science educators from across the state to field test the instructional units. For additional information and directions for applying click here. Please note the application deadline: April 7, 2021
OpenSciEd is a nonprofit organization that brings together educators, state science specialists, curriculum developers, and professional development experts to improve science education by developing and implementing high-quality, freely available science instructional materials. A significant part of the instructional materials development process is field testing and revising units prior to their public release.
During the 2021-22 and 2022-23 school years, we are seeking the following New Jersey high school science teachers to fully participate in the OpenSciEd high school field test:
- 4 Biology teachers
- 4 Chemistry teachers
- 4 Physics teachers
The high school Biology, Chemistry, and Physics courses are:
- Based on research regarding how students learn, what motivates learning, and the implications for teaching,
- Developed with educators and extensively piloted by teachers and schools,
- Designed to be used with low-cost, standard laboratory equipment and materials amenable to large-scale deployment, and
- Designed for both classroom and remote learning environments.
