BIOSCOPES has four main goals:
- Enhance teacher content knowledge and their knowledge about how to teach that content with rigor, accuracy, and relevancy to middle school students (grades 6-8) and high school students (Biology I course).
- Develop sustainable school-based mechanisms (Lesson Study teams) to provide ongoing support for increasing the quality and rigor of science instruction aligned with the NGSSS.
- Enhance participating teachers’ implementation of high-quality science instruction for middle school students (grades 6-8) and high school students (Biology I course).
