The PLPA for Amplify Science provides remote learning sessions for coaches, professional learning providers, and leaders who are supporting the implementation of Amplify Science K–8. Currently, the PLPA offers an 8-week Foundations series and Trending Topics of various lengths.
This is a collaborative project, in partnership with the developers of Amplify Science at the Lawrence Hall of Science, funded through a Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation Professional Learning Partnership. Learn more at www.amplifysciencepl.org.
These Zoom sessions are the only thing we can look forward to in our week. The design and facilitation and participants are all amazing!
