The America’s Choice School Design provides professional development and technical assistance to help science teachers align their curriculum and instruction with state standards and assessments. Students become better prepared to demonstrate what they know and are able to do.

America’s Choice prepares science teachers to

• Implement a workshop structure to use time more efficiently
• Adopt an inquiry model to more effectively teach critical science concepts and processes
• Create classroom and student artifacts and develop an understanding of Accountable Talk strategies 
• Analyze student work to inform and differentiate instruction 
• Make the connections between student learning and valid assessments
