BSCS Science Learning

Fresno County classrooms are linguistically rich, and science instruction should reflect that.

The Elementary Science Professional Learning Institute for Multilingual Learners, developed by BSCS in partnership with the Fresno County Superintendent of Schools, supports K–5 educators in making science more accessible through CA NGSS, ELD integration, and phenomenon-driven instruction.

What if your students actually wanted to figure things out in biology class? 🔬

Not just memorize content—but wrestle with real questions like:
💡 Why are infections getting harder to treat?
💡 Why do some people have higher disease risk?
💡 How will we feed a growing population?

That’s exactly what you’ll experience in the upcoming BSCS Biology: Understanding for Life virtual institutes for Units 1-4.

Instead of sitting through another PD, you’ll:
-Learn as a student first (so you truly “get it”)
-Walk away with strategies that spark curiosity and deeper thinking
-Build confidence using real-world, phenomenon-driven lessons
-Connect with other teachers who want more than test-focused learning

No travel, live sessions, and even better with your team 👩‍🔬👨‍🔬
