K-12 Teachers and Students
Through our Scientist in Every Florida School Program, we build long-term collaborative relationships between teachers and scientists, better integrate current scientific research and big data into classroom lessons that adhere to Florida Sunshine State Standards, and aim to connect a scientist with every school in the state.
By partnering with Scientist in Every Florida School for your Broader Impacts, you will gain access to a network of K-12 schools, teachers, and district leaders who have come to trust the work we do.
Our team is comprised of former K-12 educators who understand the unique and specific needs of classrooms and are well-versed in state learning standards. When you partner with SEFS, we will not only help match you with K-12 audiences, but we will also help you craft your science content in a way that is understandable, engaging, and fits into existing curricula.
- Teacher Professional Development Workshops or Research Experiences for Teachers: The SEFS team is a well-oiled machine when it comes to organizing and hosting teacher professional development workshops and research experiences. You bring your content expertise and our team will help promote the program and recruit teachers, assist with developing an interactive and engaging agenda, coordinate all logistics, and provide program evaluation. See some examples of workshops we’ve hosted on our K-12 Professional Development page.
- Outreach with Accessible Hands-on Projects for K-12 Classrooms: Interested in working with education professionals to design lessons or activities for K-12 classrooms? As former science teachers, our SEFS team members have plenty of background in education and pedagogy. Let the SEFS team help you develop an engaging lesson, and tap into our established network of teachers and classrooms to teach it.
- Live stream or virtual lab tours: To reach broad student groups statewide, consider live stream programs with SEFS. We have a proven track record for designing interactive virtual programs that have taken a variety of formats. We are happy to help refine ideas, as well as promote and implement your envisioned program. All previous live streams can be found on our YouTube channel, making your outreach efforts even more robust with continued views well past the air date.
- Field trips with classrooms: Although onsite field trips to various locations around the state have hurdles when it comes to school-aged children, this type of outreach can be truly rewarding. SEFS is happy to help coordinate opportunities for you and students/families to connect in the field.
- Fellowships Opportunities for Undergraduate/Graduate Students: Consider giving your undergraduate and graduate students experience in science communication and outreach through fellowships with SEFS. Individuals can be assigned districts or content areas to push into classrooms, after-school programs, and more.
