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

A complete learning system

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

Professional Development

Build sustainability

Science educators have come to trust Lab-Aids as a valuable resource for engaging and worth-while professional development - whether it's an on-site implementation training, a summer academy to build instructional leadership, or a day focused on new standards or best-practice strategies.

Teachers PD

Using a model similar to other districts, we will create an intentional plan in your district to build internal leadership and long-term sustainability of the program.

In 2014, Lab-Aids used the EQuiP rubrics to evaluate our Second Edition middle school programs to see where we already met and where we needed to improve. Turns out good science is good science and we already had a pretty solid foundation to work from. Third Edition was born from this initial reflective evaluation.
