The OESD Science Education Department provides support for the science education reform efforts of our regional school districts. The science department is committed to providing quality resources to schools in an effort to improve student learning.

Leadership Building for Collaborative Learning

WE ARE DEDICATED TO PROVIDING HIGH QUALITY, SUSTAINABLE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT!

Our PD approach emphasizes these four areas of focus:
  • Leadership Development: Increasing the capacity of district administrators, principals, and teacher leaders to impact the learning of students and staff.

  • Professional Learning Communities: Structured opportunities for educators to work together to address the issues impacting student learning and classroom practice.

  • Knowledge Building: Continually deepening the knowledge and understanding of all staff about curriculum, assessment, instruction, and learning.

  • Curricular Resources and Support: Increasing staff and regional capacity for leveraging materials and resources to enhance instruction.
