What Teachers are Saying
I have really enjoyed your (storylines writing) program and I feel so much better about storylines than before I started. Thank you so much for putting this together.
Finally! Thank you for giving a PD that focuses on practical skills! I know what the standards say by now, I need to know what to DO with them! Already in 1 week, I’ve been way more inspired and much more confident to actually dive in and finally start MAKING THINGS!
The storylines writing training was the best PD I have done in my 27 years. I used the knowledge I learned last summer every day!
This course leads you through the new standards in a way that breaks them down in small enough portions to truly understand each dimension. Alyssa leads you though creation of actual investigations and assessments that can use some of your already existing content.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which training is right for me?
If you’re new to NGSS or want to strengthen specific skills, the mini-courses are a great choice. If you’ve used a storyline before and want to create one that better connects with your students or passions, the Storyline Lab is for you.
How do I access the trainings?
Once you register, you’ll receive an email with all the details, including links to access the course materials. Asynchronous mini-courses can be completed at your own pace, while the Curriculum Design Lab: Build Your NGSS Storyline course includes live Q&A sessions.
Can districts cover the costs?
Yes and I hope they do! I’ll need some information about your school (billing contact person name and email, school address, etc.) when you register. Then, I can send an invoice for district payment.
