Curricular Resources
The PEER Physics curriculum uses storylines, anchoring phenomena, and a learning cycle approach for students to authentically experience three-dimensional NGSS standards. Each socially relevant, age-appropriate phenomenon sparks curiosity in chapter content, allowing students to engage in science practices and develop their understanding of physics principles through evidence and class consensus.
Professional Learning
PEER Physics has a simple and innovative approach: engage teachers in high quality professional learning with other practitioners, led by teacher facilitators who have been successful in the classroom, and amplify the experience using responsively designed curricular resources aligned to the current Standards.
Learning Together
Partnerships with PEER Physics typically extend for multiple years in order to affect systemic change. The goal is to develop sustainable structures that foster teacher growth in their instructional practices and invite new PEER Physics teachers into the learning community. We have built a reputation for responsively supporting our partners with instruction and with the systemic challenges they face.
