The Nevada Department of Education is thrilled to partner with the Governor's Office of Science, Innovation & Technology (OSIT) for their annual Engineering Fellowship. This year's program, hosted at the UNLV College of Engineering's cutting-edge facility, brought together elementary science teachers from the state. Highlights of the three-day fellowship included: • In-depth exploration of elementary NGSS science standards • Focus on engineering design practices • Insightful presentation by Dr. Deniz from the UNLV College of Education • UNLV's Tech Trekker providing free tech resources for NV educators • Exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of BattleBots We're grateful for the contributions of Ted Willard, author of the NSTA Atlas of the 3 Dimensions, and the support of Discovery Ed in enriching this program. #NVEducation #NVTeachers #EngineeringFellowship #OSIT #UNLVCollege #UNLVCollegeofEngineering #PortraitofaLearner #NSTAAtlas #ElementaryScienceEd #NGSSWelcome back to school, Nye County School District! The Nevada Department of Education wishes students, parents, and educators an outstanding first week of school.NDE and state legislative building in Carson City hosted a dynamic Project Based Learning (PBL) cohort, bringing together educational leaders from across Nevada last week. This impactful event was facilitated by PBLWorks. We were thrilled to have Assemblywoman Natha Anderson and Deputy Superintendent Ann Marie Dickson stop by, whose presence underscored the importance of PBL in our education system. This cohort showcased how PBL perfectly aligns with the Nevada Portrait of a Learner, equipping our students with essential skills like critical thinking, collaboration, and real-world problem-solving. By implementing Gold Standard PBL practices from the Buck Institute, we're paving the way for more engaging, relevant, and effective learning experiences. Together, we're revolutionizing education in Nevada, preparing our learners for success in the 21st century and beyond! #NevadaEducation #ProjectBasedLearning #GoldStandardPBL #NVPortraitofaLearnerDistrict and school teams attended the Nevada Future of Learning Network's implementation pilot kickoff convening this week in Ely.
