Middle School

 

GEMS-Net partners with fifteen school districts in Rhode Island and has adopted OpenSciEd in grades 6-8. As a certified OpenSciEd Professional Learning Provider, GEMS-Net supports the implementation of the OpenSciEd curriculum through professional learning workshops and ongoing coaching support for all partnering teachers. 

As school districts across the state shift to high-quality science curriculum, GEMS-Net is supporting districts in their rollout of openSciEd in the Elementary grade levels.

“I love the coherence of OpenSciEd’s units/lessons! The consistency of the routines, the simplicity and organization of the materials take away the frustration that is felt with our current science program.”

Middle school students in Block Island point to their Driving Question Board about nurse logs.
“These workshops always reignite a sense of excitement for science. I am taking away a sense of anticipation for the OpenSciEd curriculum! Both facilitators presented this orientation to the program in such a way that eased any sense of trepidation for the unknown and lit a spark for all that it promises to be!”
Grade 5 Teacher, Cumberland
