The Reagan-Udall Foundation for the FDA and the Burroughs Wellcome Fund have supported the nonprofit research institute where I work, RTI International, in building a Curriculum Delivery Platform to help educators who want lesson plan help for talking about immunity, viruses, vaccines, and related topics. You can see a preview of the resource at scienceofimmunity.org.
We have piloted the tool in North Carolina and so have mapped content against North Carolina Science Standards. We now would like to make the tool relevant for middle school educators in Northeast states.
If you are a middle school science educator in PA, DE, MD, or NH, it would be great if we could talk with you for 30 minutes sometime in the next few weeks. We'll make sure you get access to the tool, and we can keep you posted on new developments. We also are interested in talking with educators in other states in the region and so please feel free to reach out even if you are not in one of those listed states. If interested, please send some dates and times that would be ideal for a Zoom call to me at bsouthwell@rti.org. Please also send me any names or email addresses of middle school science colleagues who come to mind.
Thank you very much!
