Data Sensemaking Professional Learning Community For Middle School Science Teachers

Join a 2025-2026 cohort of Front Range middle school science teachers to learn about innovative ways to bring authentic, regionally-relevant earth and climate science data in your classrooms using Data Puzzles! Led by educators, scientists, and data experts from the University of Colorado Boulder, this professional learning community is part of a research project that aims to understand how middle school teachers learn to use data sensemaking practices to support their students explore and explain climate phenomena!

Additional details:

This marked the first year that Primero students entered the RISE Challenge, hosted by national nonprofit Earth Force, though they have been active participants for several years in a partner program, the Hazard Education, Awareness and Resilience Task (HEART) Force. HEART Force works with classes around the state to build resilience to wildfire, flood, and drought. Through their Outdoor Education class at Primero, students have explored the vulnerabilities of Primero and nearby areas to hazards such as drought and wildfire.
