ORIENTATION: June 25, 2026

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT: July 13-17, 2026

Linking Science, Math, & Literacy partners with teachers of 6th-8th grade Life Sciences, Mathematics, English Language Arts, and Special Education for this exciting opportunity funded by a second National Institutes of Health Science Education Partnership Award (NIH-SEPA).  

  Specifically, participants will:  

  • Develop 6th-to 8th-grade-level multimodal STEM text sets that address Science, Mathematics, and ELA Standards; and
  • With instructional support, implement multimodal STEM text sets in the classroom, with special attention to the needs of all learners.
