PROGRAM SUPPORTS

Literacy

Embedded strategies help teachers explore students' thinking and give students multiple opportunities to confront their preconceptions. 

Assessment

The SEPUP programs have an integrated assessment system to collect evidence on student learning and improve performance. 

Differentiation

An intentionally flexible approach to all program activity types help accomplish our goal that all students achieve scientific literacy.
