Professional Development System

The system engages teachers in a series of 5E learning cycles so they can experience the same kind of learning cycle their students will experience during science instruction.

As shown in the figure, the fundamentals modules cover Science Essential Elements (EEs), the 5E Model of Instruction, Universal Design for Learning (UDL), 5E-SESE Lesson Planning, and Teaching Using the 5E-SESE Approach. Those modules are completed first and applied in each EE module.
