Science For America

Sci­ence For Amer­ica empow­ers edu­ca­tors as teach­ers and learn­ers as they develop and imple­ment new themes, ideas, and cur­ricu­lum. Edu­ca­tors are given the oppor­tu­nity to learn and build net­works with lead­ers, experts and each other.

The web­site is built upon the belief that edu­ca­tors can only facil­i­tate the devel­op­ment of ana­lyt­i­cal rea­son­ing and problem-solving skills when these same pro­fi­cien­cies are used to resolve the issues con­fronting sci­ence edu­ca­tion today.

The Sci­ence For Amer­ica web site offers resources for plan­ning and imple­ment­ing instruc­tion, devel­op­ing project-based learn­ing cur­ricu­lum, and col­lab­o­rat­ing with col­leagues. Unlike other teaching-related web­sites, which fre­quently pro­vide large lists of unranked, unsorted links and resources, the Sci­ence For Amer­ica web­site pro­vides sub­mis­sion, rat­ing and dis­cus­sion tools to allow the best resources to sur­face near the top of the list. This saves teach­ers time, and allows the best resources to develop into excel­lent tools which all edu­ca­tors will want to imple­ment in their classrooms.
