Top > Professional Development > BSCS: Energy - A Multidisciplinary Approach to Teaching
by BSCS, posted on 12:25 PM, October 10, 2017
Do we need more wind farms? Should I buy solar panels for my roof? Is my lifestyle contributing to climate change? These are relevant questions in today's world. And our ability to answer them depends on an understanding of energy.
That's why BSCS developed EMAT.
This free online course helps teachers frame complex energy concepts in a way that will resonate with high school students and prepare them to participate in important societal conversations. EMAT includes classroom videos, content animations, and interactive learning experiences.
Who can benefit from EMAT?
- Teachers: Deepen your own understanding of energy concepts, and enhance your ability to communicate the material to students.
- Teacher Educators: Prepare preservice high school teachers for energy instruction by analyzing classroom videos and interactives together.
- District PD Leaders: Gather teachers in your district for PD sessions around each unit, and empower them to dive deeper into the online platform individually.
