Learn how the Next Generation Science Standards, which follow a phenomena-based and learner-centered model, can facilitate learning for all students in all subjects. We’ll help you figure out how to develop agency in your students through a project-based approach. Experience the process from a student perspective as we use our hands-on equipment to explore questions and solutions relevant to NH’s climate and energy future.

Some of her favorite work is helping teachers tackle climate action projects with their students and advising students who are prompting action in their communities.
