SENSEsational Science is one of our longest running and most popular professional development experiences. This is a year-long program for educators who are looking to grow their science teaching skills. SENSE includes a two day summer institute of in-depth learning with standards-aligned content and research backed pedagogy. Educators will attend a follow-up experience in the fall and in the spring after they have had the chance to implement what they learned during the summer institute.
Each SENSEsational Science Summer Institute will focus on learning science through one of the five senses. The 2024 cohort focused on sight and the pedagogical skill of making thinking visible through modeling.
This experience is completely free. Educators will receive a stipend and materials to implement the content, plus continued support from our expert staff, educational partners, and the SENSE family of educators.
