These high-quality, NGSS-aligned science lesson plans are built on phenomena meaningful to rural students. They include plans for middle school science, as well as high school biology, Earth science, chemistry, and physics.

This toolkit lays important groundwork to help teachers successfully enact motivation design principles (MDPs) in support of student motivation and engagement in science. It addresses the reciprocal relationship between motivationally supportive teaching and equitable science instruction and provides guidance on general classroom organization, routines, policies, and climate considerations that provide a vital foundation for supporting student motivation. The toolkit contains resources for the five MDPs: belonging, confidence, learning orientation, autonomy, and relevance. It describes connections between enacting the MDPs and delivering instruction based on the NGSS and outlinines the reciprocal relationship between supporting student motivation and implementing phenomenon-centered science instruction, integrating crosscutting concepts, and promoting the eight science and engineering practices from the NGSS.

These resources are designed to help put high-quality, equitable math instruction into practice. The VISIONS Project fosters collaboration among state, district, and school-based leaders; mathematics teachers; mathematicians; and researchers who co-design essential tools for all grade levels.

With the LRHE curriculum, student learning is used in the generation of solutions to local problems, such as increasing indigenous populations of insects within local urban neighborhoods. The learning approach—solutioning—emphasizes learning life science content through the NGSS science and engineering practices.

This collection offers K-12 curricula, activity guides, and other resources to support hands-on, inquiry-based investigations of the ecosystems and organisms around us. Themes include: Hudson River ecology, urban ecosystems, schoolyard ecology, biodiversity, water and watersheds, and data exploration and nature of science. Additional resources are available for home and distance learning.
