Member Web Seminar

Are you using Driving Question Boards to their full potential? Driving Question boards are more than a collection of questions at the start of an OpenSciEd unit. Join us on Wednesday, December 9, 2026 from 7:00 PM to 8:30 PM ET for a webinar that focuses on how to use Driving Question Boards throughout a unit to help ensure students’ questions are driving the learning.

During this interactive webinar, participants will explore practical strategies for creating, organizing, and revising Driving Question Boards (DQB) throughout an OpenSciEd unit. Through classroom examples and guided reflection, discover how to support students in connecting their questions about phenomena to investigations and using the DQB to reflect on what they’ve figured out and what they are still wondering.

Leave with practical strategies for making your Driving Question Board a meaningful and ongoing part of the sensemaking throughout an OpenSciEd Unit.

Who should attend:

  • OpenSciEd teachers (grades 6–8)
  • Instructional coaches
  • Anyone supporting implementation of phenomenon-driven science instruction

All individuals receive a certificate of participation and 100 NSTA activity points for attending the live seminar and completing the end-of-program survey. A certificate of participation is not awarded for watching the recorded version of the program.
