Professional Learning Opportunities

OpenSciEd is a free curricular resource that is currently in development for grades 6th-8th. This high-quality, NGSS aligned middle school curriculum is releasing the public units and making them available on the OpenSciEd website as they become available. Because OpenSciEd is a cooperative project involving 10 different states, it will not align perfectly to the grade-specific, Iowa-selected performance expectations. However, an Iowa suggested sequence for the best alignment is available. As a statewide AEA system, we are working together to provide professional learning at regional sites around the state. There may be additional travel necessary depending on the host location. Regional professional learning provides an enhanced opportunity for networking and collaboration.

Courses below are available for 1 license renewal credit or participant only (no credit).
