Look What Teachers
Are Saying...

SEPUP has brought the 'thrill' of teaching to an all time high for me. It enables me to actively engage the students in the process of learning. As I guide then through the activities, the focus shifts from me as a disseminator of 'facts' to the student as an involved learner. Curricula developed by SEPUP fosters the development of critical thinking skills and the use of evidence to make decisions, which, to me, are life long skills needed to be a contributing member of society.

Since I starting using SEPUP's Issues, Evidence, and You, I no longer have students asking why they need to learn about a particular concept or theory. They (students) see and understand the relevance to their lives since the curriculum is based on issues in the real world. While examining and investigating these issues, the students learn the science concepts and theories needed to meet the National and State science requirements.
