Learn how to prepare teachers for Next Generation Science Standards success.

The presenters focus on two Next Generation Science Standards-aligned engaging programs: Engineering is Elementary (EiE) and NextGenPET.

EiE is the most widely used engineering K-6 curriculum in the United States and includes resources for developing teacher expertise in engineering design.

NextGenPET helps K-6 teachers address the physical sciences in their classrooms with confidence and conceptual understanding.
