The High School Science for All Curriculum is a three-year science course pathway and curriculum aligned to the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), which consists of freshman physics, sophomore chemistry, and junior biology courses. Each course utilizes common instructional strategies, real-world phenomena, and engineering design challenges to engage students with a practical, experiential approach to instruction. Three of our partner districts (Beaverton, Portland Public, and Hillsboro) are now implementing all or part of the sequence, along with many other districts across the state. Currently, 33 districts are implementing Patterns in Oregon and several other states. There are teachers from 135 districts and 236 schools who have taken PD with us to learn more about Patterns.
If you are curious about which districts are working with us, check out this spreadsheet, which estimates the number of students who are, have been, or will be impacted by this approach and curriculum over the next four years. Additional teachers from other districts are engaging in our professional learning experiences and using the curriculum on an individual grade-level or teacher basis.
