Liberty Science Center is a leader in the implementation of the New Jersey Student Learning Standards - Science and is the official New Jersey partner for OpenSciEd.

OpenSciEd is a nonprofit organization that brings together educators, state science specialists, curriculum developers, and professional development experts to improve science education by developing and implementing high-quality, freely available science instructional materials. A significant part of the instructional materials development process is field testing and revising units prior to their public release.

LSC is working with OpenSciEd to recruit Biology, Chemistry, and Physics teachers in New Jersey to field test new high school instructional materials.

During the 2021-22 and 2022-23 school years, we are seeking the following New Jersey high school science teachers to fully participate in the OpenSciEd high school field test:

• 4 Biology teachers
• 4 Chemistry teachers
• 4 Physics teachers

The high school Biology, Chemistry, and Physics courses are:

• Based on research regarding how students learn, what motivates learning, and the implications for teaching,
• Developed with educators and extensively piloted by teachers and schools,
• Designed to be used with low-cost, standard laboratory equipment and materials amenable to large-scale deployment, and
• Designed for both classroom and remote learning environments.
