Are you an individual or part of an organization outside the formal school system that provides meaningful science learning experiences connected to real-world applications? As Kentucky advances the United We Learn vision, we know vibrant learning happens when schools and communities work together. Community organizations, informal educators and industry partners play a critical role in helping students connect science to authentic, local experiences. Join us for the <strong>Second Annual Day of Science Learning for Community Based Educators</strong> hosted by the Kentucky Department of Education. This dynamic networking experience centers collaboration, shared responsibility and high-quality science education in service of Kentucky students. Together, we will explore how strong community partnerships provide vibrant, relevant learning experiences that connect classroom instruction to the local context.<br />
Participants will:<br />
&nbsp;
<ul>
	<li>Deepen our shared understanding of the <em>Kentucky Academic Standards for Science</em></li>
	<li>Explore high-quality instructional resources that support three-dimensional learning</li>
	<li>Collaborate to build local phenomena bundles that ground science instruction in authentic Kentucky contexts</li>
	<li>Strengthen partnerships that advance vibrant science learning across communities</li>
</ul>
&nbsp;<br />
By intentionally aligning community experiences with classroom instruction, we can amplify impact, reduce fragmentation and ensure students experience science as relevant, connected and meaningful.<br />
