We support educators in implementing Labster to increase access to science investigations and drive student learning by helping them to utilize the Labster platform to its fullest potential through ongoing investigation, evaluation, and reflection.
Focus Area
We support educators in harnessing the Labster platform to make shifts to student-centered science instruction. We support skill development through personalized pathways built from Workshops, 1:1 Coaching, Learning Walks, and BL Connect to achieve clear outcomes.
