Projects
BSCS works with people from around the world who care about the quality of science teaching and learning, including those in K-12 schools, colleges, other non-profits, government agencies, and foundations. We develop research-based instructional materials for students, provide transformative professional development, build leadership capacity within schools and districts, and provide evidence-based findings for students, teachers, administrators, parents, funding agencies, partners, and policy makers. Our current and recently completed projects list represents the scope of our work and diverse sources of funding.
