For many years, BASP has been a vital resource – not only in the teaching of science but also as a model of professional learning, and teacher leadership. BASP engages and collaborates with university scientists, teacher-leaders, and master teachers to lead high-quality professional learning that focuses on strengthening science conceptual and content understanding, promoting cross-curricular integration, supporting environmental literacy, systems thinking, and locally relevant instruction. BASP fosters teacher leadership, through sustained relationships and collaborations. BASP is firmly committed to addressing racial, social, and environmental injustices through partnering and collaborative efforts with teachers, schools, districts, university, and both local and state science agencies.
