08 Agosto 2018 - 12:00PM
After a comprehensive review of instructional programs for science
courses, Broward County Public Schools (BCPS) has chosen Science
A-Z® to be part of its instructional materials adoption in science
for grades K–5. Developed by Learning A-Z®, Science A-Z is an
award-winning curriculum resource that blends science and literacy
into one captivating K–6 curriculum.
BCPS, the second largest school district in Florida and the
sixth largest in the nation, will make Science A-Z available to all
143 of its elementary schools this fall. In addition, BCPS is
partnering with Learning A-Z to provide K–5 teachers with
professional learning to help them integrate Science A-Z into their
curriculum and use the resources to achieve instructional
goals.
“One of Broward County’s overarching goals is to have a strong
literacy component in its K–5 science program, and that’s one of
the reasons why they chose Science A-Z,” said Patrick Marcotte,
president of Learning A-Z. “We’re excited to partner with BCPS to
provide its elementary school teachers with the standards-aligned
resources they need to develop students' science knowledge and
practices, while also supporting key literacy skills.”
Science A-Z provides thousands of resources to teach core
science ideas and practices, multilevel books to differentiate
reading instruction, and hands-on experiments and projects to apply
science concepts. To complement BCPS’ blended approach to K–5
science instruction, Science A-Z content is available in printable,
projectable, online, and mobile formats. Resources can be used for
one-to-one, small-group, and whole-class instruction.
“With Science A-Z, Broward County can make the most of its
blended learning approach and give diverse learners multiple ways
to access the content,” said Marcotte. “From differentiated lessons
and activities, to hands-on experiments and projects, to digital
and printable reading materials, Science A-Z will enable teachers
to personalize their instruction to help students meet the Next
Generation Sunshine State Standards (NGSSS) for Science—cultivating
their curiosity and excitement about science.”
