PhD Science® is an immersive curriculum that allows students to “dig in” with hands-on experience as they conduct scientific investigations and build knowledge that helps them understand the anchor phenomenon. But in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, how can students still drive the learning when they are social distancing or working in a remote setting?
In this video, PhD Science Implementation Support Specialist Kerwyn Simpson discusses COVID-19 modifications in a student-driven classroom. The video highlights recommended strategies, helpful PhD Science resources, and topics for implementers to consider to keep student-driven learning at the center of their science instruction.
