NGSS for Maine Environmental Educators (October 7)

Applying NGSS to Your Programs | Part 2 of a 3-Part Series

October 7, 2026 | 12–2 PM | Virtual | Free | Part 2 of a 3-Part Series

Once you understand the foundations of NGSS, what does it look like to use them in your own programs?

In the second session of this three-part virtual series, apply your understanding of NGSS to the resources, lessons, and learning experiences you already use. Explore ways to revisit existing materials using current science teaching practices while keeping the needs of your own educational setting at the center.

What You’ll Explore

• Ways to apply NGSS to existing programs and activities
• Approaches for revisiting and revising educational resources
• Science teaching practices that can support learning and engagement
• Opportunities to put new ideas into practice in your own setting
