Does this sound like you?
Complex NGSS frameworks
 are explained in a way that doesn’t connect to actual teaching
Teachers leave more confused
than when they started, unsure of how to implement what they learned
Lack of classroom examples
makes it hard for teachers to see how these concepts apply to their students
One-size-fits-all PD
doesn’t address the unique needs of Earth and Space Science teachers

What Teachers are Saying
White Sands National Park was my very first unit teaching through storylines and it was a great introduction for my students and me. I am a detail oriented person and Alyssa organized this unit so well!
The Hawaii Volcanoes National Park storyline is great. Love how it brings the information needed to learn into the real world, and easily understandable to the students.
I loved the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park storyline! There were so many different types of activities from labs to videos to investigations to projects. The students were engaged everyday.
