Localizing Science Working Group

The working group is on hold this year while we move drafts created by previous teams into their final form. We are looking forward to bringing the Localizing Science Working Group together again in August of 2026 to develop and refine guides for K-12 OpenSciEd and K-8 Amplify Science units during the 2026-27 School Year.  

We are seeking experienced educators committed to collaborating in a year-long working group focused on enhancing science education. We are hoping to form teams at elementary, middle school, and high school levels, that include classroom teachers, TOSAs, and district science leads.

“It’s the PLC I’ve always wanted to work with but never had access to at my school.  We have a group of folks all working towards the same vision, [there are] so many people to bounce ideas off of. This group has helped me hone my teaching craft and create more engaging lessons for kids, hopefully helping them appreciate science more.”
