Welcome Cohort 1 Schools!

This webpage is designed to house all of the important information you will need in your first two years as a BEES school, including announcements, contact information for coaches, and professional development.

Problem of Practice:

• How do we support elementary teachers in grades 2-6, gain science expertise and develop a classroom community that is accessible and relevant to all learners?

• How do we develop educators that are confident delivering high quality, standards aligned science consistently?
