Supporting Students' Science Learning During COVID-19 School Closures
During the COVID-19 crisis, many people are looking for helpful resources to support learning away from brick-and-mortar school buildings. Engaging in safe, meaningful science learning can be done in homes, neighborhoods, and in online/virtual learning environments.
The resources below were developed by members of the Council of State Science Supervisors (CoSSS). Each resource is guided by a focus on equity and is framed through a lens of socio-emotional health. They might be useful to educators and educational leaders to help chart the course in these very uncertain times.
NEW! Long-Term Supports for Extended School Closures
- Supporting Equitable Home-Based Science Teaching and Learning During Extended School Closures
- Phenomena: Not Just for the Classroom (for Families)
- Continuing Science at Home with Science Notebooks (for Families)
- Pass the Science Please: Science Talk Moves (for Families)
Immediate Supports
Additional versions of the family and student resources are available in a variety of languages (Arabic, Chuukese, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, Tagalong, and Tongan) through the STEM Teaching Tools website: http://stemteachingtools.org/news/2020/guidance-for-supporting-science-learning-during-covid-19
These resources will continue to be updated over time, and others are in active development. Once complete, they'll be hosted on the STEM Teaching Tools website above.
