"This course had a direct impact on my planning and classroom lesson delivery because it was practical and hands on."

I am more aware and have the knowledge to seek the resources to implement music into my lessons with standard, strategies, and pedagogical skills which will promote an enriched learning environment for my students with special needs. I am privileged to share my knowledge and resources with grade level colleagues. Thank you in providing such a well structured course and excellent instructor."
(5 Stars) "My district definitely values music and the arts when it comes to helping students have a holistic education experience. So I said to myself - ok - I will take a class on how to introduce music into my classroom. I envisioned the class talking about how to clap your hands to different beats to help you memorize math formulas. Well, that is all good, but this course opened my eyes to so much more, by teaching me how to use music for classroom management, emotional learning, instrument appreciation and even... silence appreciation. Take this course now and I guarantee a whole new world will open up to you on how to use music in your classroom to advance cognitive learning."

Course Description
If you believe that science is for all students, and you’d like to help close the achievement gaps between various groups of students, this online NGSS course is for you.
Statistics show concerning gaps between groups of students in their achievement of science standards, scientific literacy, interest in science careers, and preparedness for science fields. In 2013, the California State Board of Education adopted the NGSS for grades K-12 in order to bridge some of those gaps and improve science education for all students.
The NGSS is comprised of three cornerstones: core ideas, practices, and crosscutting (connections between Physical Science, Life Science, Earth and Space Science, and Engineering Design). The NGSS combines these three areas to form standards and performance expectations, in order to give students a cohesive understanding of science as they advance through classes and grade levels.
The main emphasis of this online NGSS class is to show you how to provide equity in your teaching practices, by incorporating NGSS standards.
Designed for all types of teachers, this online professional development course on providing equal access to NGSS for all students includes segments on:
what is NGSS
why NGSS
NGSS and CCSS (Common Core State Standards)
NGSS and equity
strategies for teaching science to economically disadvantaged students
strategies for teaching science to English learners
strategies for teaching science to culturally diverse students
strategies for teaching science to students with special needs / disabilities
strategies for teaching science to girls
strategies for teaching science to gifted and talented students
This 2-credit online course is approved by LAUSD for salary points and by other districts in California for professional development credits or graduate-level credits available through University of Massachusetts Global. You can check with your school district to find out which professional development credit type you need.
The course is comprised of 4 units. For each unit, you’ll read a lesson, watch a video, take a quiz, and complete an assignment.
