The Oregon Science Leaders (OSL) is a free, regional network for K-16 science educators and science leaders. 

Vision:

• Be brave and impactful together, through community and collaboration
• Students who are marginalized in our systems are at the center of our work

Mission:

• Work for science education that is meaningful, culturally relevant, and personally empowering
• Transform science education systems to meet the needs and goals of every student (demographics of success and enrollment match overall school and district demographics)

For the 24-25 school year, the OSL will host monthly meetings:

• 12-1 pm on Zoom, 12:00-12:30: Engaging with the OSL Action Guide, 12:30-1:00: Peer-to-Peer Support
• First Tuesday, Oct.-May 
• Recommended for science specialists, TOSAs, building and district administrators, and teacher leaders

Engaging with the OSL Action Guide (12:00-12:30 pm)

We will use the first portion of each meeting to dive into the Key Actions in OSL’s Action Guide: “Building an Equitable, NGSS-Aligned K-12 Science Program.”

After exploring Key Action ideas and recommendations, participants will discuss context-specific implications and next steps. Building and district level administrators are encouraged to attend (along with science specialists and teacher leaders).

Peer-to-Peer Support (12:30-1:00 pm)

Participants will break-out into peer discussions. Topics may include:

• Science curriculum: adoption, implementation, refinement
• Transforming science education pedagogy (Ambitious Science Teaching in action, teacher learning and collaboration, system reforms)
• Continue Action Guide discussions
• ...bring a topic!

Participants can attend any/all parts of the meeting
