To help you provide a more collaborative, student-centered learning environment where ideas are accessible and engaging for all students, ExGen is developing lesson plans, called NSTA Daily Dos, and the curriculum storylines, called NSTA Units, that are grounded in sensemaking. Through this approach, students actively engage in a learning experience to make sense of phenomena in a way that aligns with their natural curiosity. You can download these free resources and use them to help with a grant application.
