88 teachers and administrators across Iowa represented grades K - 5 at the OpenSciEd first-grade field test on February 8 & 9 in Marshalltown. This professional learning is a huge part of field testing and providing feedback on the units. Iowa has also participated in Middle School and High School field tests. These materials will be FREE once they are publicly released. All the middle and high school units released to the public have received the NGSS Badge, meaning High-Quality Instructional Materials for Science.
