As teachers start a new school year, many are seeking ways to create classrooms where every child can thrive in science. Our teacher’s guide, Rise and Thrive with Science, provides practical strategies to help educators foster curiosity, support all learners, and build supportive classroom communities. The guide emphasizes approaches that: 🔸 Encourage students to ask questions, investigate, and problem-solve. 🔸 Integrate science and engineering with literacy, math, and everyday experiences. 🔸 Support responsive participation, ensuring all students see themselves as capable of doing science. 🔸 Help teachers reflect on their own practice and continue growing as professionals. Back to school is a time of excitement and new beginnings, for both students and educators. This resource is designed to equip PK–5 teachers with tools to make science learning meaningful and inspiring from the very start of the year.

The Framework for K–12 Science Education set a vision for modern science learning — one that prepares students to think like scientists. Since its release in 2012, nearly every state has drawn on the Framework to shape their science standards. This shared foundation has strengthened curricula, improved assessments, and built coherence across grade levels. Through companion reports, workshops, and practitioner guides, the National Academies continues to help educators and leaders bring this vision into classrooms and communities nationwide.
