This protocol was developed for teachers by the California Partnership for Math + Science Education in collaboration with the California County Superintendents Educational Services Association, California Science Center, California Science Teachers Association, California STEM Network, California Teachers Association, and Instructional Leadership Corp with support from the S.D. Bechtel, Jr. Foundation.
Significant contributions to the development of the protocol and lesson planning template were made by educators at the Glenn, Placer, and Riverside County Offices of Education and the Glendale, Norwalk-La Mirada, and Rocklin Unified School Districts. This work would not be been possible without their contributions, feedback, and support.
