IT'S NOT A TEXTBOOK. IT'S NOT A KIT. IT'S A PROGRAM.

Each program component references the others to form a cohesive learning system for teachers and students.

Each learning journey should have a clear path

Differentiation

An intentionally flexible approach to all program activity types help accomplish our goal that all students achieve scientific literacy. 

Assessment

Integrated into the programs the SEPUP assessment system sets up ways to collect evidence on student learning and improve performance.

Literacy

Embedded strategies help teachers explore students' thinking and give students multiple opportunities to confront their preconceptions.

EdReports Reviews SEPUP

SEPUP Third Edition | NGSS

Other NGSS curriculum we looked at did not have all the components we were looking for: hands-on, real-world issues, literacy supports, and cross-curricular opportunities. Plus, being able to have it all in one neat package (quite literally with the carts) is one of the best bonuses of this program!
