Point: Innovative Teaching Models Can Solve Teacher Shortage by Laura Slover of CenterPoint Ed. dcjournal.com/point-innovati…

During our time at our pilot schools, we sat down with teachers to understand their needs in the science classroom and get feedback on our assessment. Here are just a few of the wonderful insights we got from these interactions!

Thank you for following along on our journey with our science interim assessment pilot schools. Next stop, diving into the data. Stay tuned for more about our science interim assessment pilots! youtu.be/vhzsMkiC8T0

Melissa Peplinski and Haley Gaudreau, members of our team at CenterPoint Education Solutions, submitted their essay to the Wonkathon Competition, discussing how AI can be used within science education. Take a few minutes to give their essay a read and a vote!
