Institute for School Partnership at WashU
Support the ISP’s mySci program to complete revision of science curriculum resources that impact thousands of K-8 teachers and students across the St. Louis region.
mySci is a K-8 science instructional program at the ISP. It is widely used in the St. Louis region, and includes curriculum resources, kits of materials, and professional development. Years of teacher survey feedback helped us identify the need to revise mySci’s resources. The guiding principles for this iteration include making mySci more equitable, accessible, and engaging for all students, and making it more streamlined for teachers to use.
