PhD Science Pilot Support Page

Welcome
Watch classrooms transform into hands-on, student-led environments where students explore real-world phenomena.
GET STARTED
Use the checklists to help make sure your PhD Science® pilot experience is successful.

STEP 1
Gather Your Materials
Ensure you have- a Teach book,
- a Science Logbook for each student,
- a materials kit, and
- customizable lesson slides.
Access your module’s materials list under the Materials section. Verify that your materials kit includes all provided items. Collaborate with your instructional leader to determine how you will gather the additional school-supplied items noted on the materials list.

STEP 2
Get to Know PhD Science
Watch the ‘Getting to Know the Teach Book video’ (coming soon). Follow along in your own Teach book.
Explore the Implementation Guide under the Materials section.

STEP 3
Prepare to Teach
Watch the ‘Module Structure and Preparing to Teach video' (coming soon). This video describes the module structure and considerations to make when preparing to teach PhD Science for the first time.
In your Teach book,
- read the Module Overview and the Prepare sections for each lesson you will teach;
- read each lesson and identify the Check for Understanding;
- preview the Conceptual Checkpoint(s) and the End-of-Module Assessment; and
- review Appendix B: Module Storyline for a summary of the module’s progression of concepts from the student perspective.

STEP 4
Teach and Reflect
Teach the lessons as intended, allowing for more time as needed. Creating a hands-on, student-led classroom is an ongoing process that requires persistence.
Reflect on and document success and challenges along the way.
Select, gather, and analyze artifacts such as Science Logbook pages, scoring guides, and rubrics.
Share feedback with leaders regarding pilot effectiveness.
