Working with K-12 Schools: Resources for Faculty and Students

Collaborating with schools is different from partnering with community organizations. Schools have unique culture, hierarchies, time constraints, and rules.

Plan the outreach:

• Think through your motivation, audience, and learning goals (use this Planning worksheet)
• Talk with teachers far in advance (use this Discussion checklist for Partnering With Schools)
• Design projects that fit in with state standards (STEM see NextGenScience.org)
• Use these tips to Design Engaging Activities (share with your students)
