“I think the system you built here is AMAZING, and I would recommend it to any teacher that wants to teach “real science”. It can also be used in parts, which makes it plausible to do at different parts of the curriculum throughout the year. Last but not least, I want to compliment you on your efficient responses, which made me feel like I am being taken seriously, and that my students are being supported with the issues they come up with.”

“The SEE modules are exemplary in bringing authentic research experiences to students, engaging and motivating them to develop a deep understanding of real-world biological and environmental problems.”

“The modules allow for teacher flexibility based on student learning needs and the on-line resources allow for teachers to easily implement the program. The high level of student engagement and achievement when using the modules validated my professional opinion about the curriculum.”

Principles of Science for Principals

Engage as a group in learning experiences that establish a vision of quality, progressive, K-12 science experiences for every student.

"As co-director for LASER, I am excited we are improving science teaching and learning across Washington state. LASER is a network for K-12 science education leadership, and led by a partnership between the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction, Education Service Districts, and ISB. This work complements ISB's education programs, which in turn inform new ideas for LASER."

"I’m THRILLED to see our science teachers collaborating in a supportive and professional manner with the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) in mind."

"I can't thank you enough for the collaboration leading up to and the workshop experience! I look forward to transferring the learning to colleagues across the district. The ideas you shared with the curriculum director and I truly unlocked a lot of exciting thinking and planning toward a custom model of cooperation with ISB."

"Thank you again for partnering with us, I am so excited for the opportunity to provide amazing professional development opportunities for our administrators and staff."
