BSCS Science Learning Re-Certified in Rivet Education’s Professional Learning Partner Guide

Here’s to a five-year partnership with Rivet Education!

BSCS Science Learning has been re-certified as a provider in Rivet Education’s Professional Learning Partner Guide (PLPG). The Professional Learning Partner Guide identifies professional learning organizations that meet Rivet’s quality criteria for delivering curriculum-based professional learning that supports strong implementation of high-quality instructional materials (HQIM). Certification signals BSCS has passed three rigorous review gateways: Content + HQIM Expertise, Quality of Professional Learning Design, and Using Data to Plan and Improve. Certified providers are uniquely positioned to support effective use of HQIM by teachers and/or leaders.

Since 2020, the PLPG has helped state and district leaders identify expert partners who provide high-quality, curriculum-based professional learning. In just five years, the PLPG has grown into a trusted, nationally recognized tool that reflects a shared commitment to improving teaching and learning. Five Years of Smarter Partnerships The PLPG review process helps us think more critically about what teachers and leaders need in different phases of curriculum adoption and implementation, and it helps us ensure that we are messaging that clearly in our trainings.

BSCS joined the PLPG in 2020 with a vision: to raise the bar for professional learning. Five years later, we’re still honored to be part of this movement—helping districts support teachers in ways that truly improve student learning.

BSCS is leading the development, field test delivery, revision, and public release of both teacher and facilitator professional learning materials for OpenSciEd Elementary. BSCS is also jointly leading the development of instructional materials with Michigan State University, University of Texas at Austin, and Northwestern University.
