OutSCIder Classroom is a web and public television based video series that teaches middle school science and social studies concepts through our National Parks. We provide engaging videos and standards-aligned instructional materials to teachers, educators, parents and caregivers - all for free! If you're passionate about the outdoors, learning science, or just like having fun, then join us as we explore our amazing public lands!
OutSCIder Classroom workshops focus on building instructional capacity in teachers; not selling a tool. We use our videos as a hook to drive authentic, hands-on instruction that both engaging and fun. All our workshops put teachers in the role of the learner, giving them the experience they want to create in their classrooms. We support educators by helping them increase their instructional capacity with high leverage strategies with a clear plan for implementation. It’s professional learning gives teachers professional growth, leading to measurable impact on student learning.
OutSCIder Classroom is a joint project between Hamilton County Educational Service Center and OutSCIder Productions, LLC.
