About the Workshop
Start strong with this introductory workshop, delivered either onsite or via webinar. This course will give teachers the time and confidence they need to integrate Science4Us into their instruction. Teachers will learn how to navigate the program, the key components of a Science4Us instructional module, and how Science4Us lessons can look in their classrooms. They will then spend some time planning Science4Us lessons for their students.
