NextWaveScience

NextWave Science was created by an international educator with over 20 years of experience in classroom instruction, leadership, and curriculum development. Led by a PhD in Educational Psychology, the work focuses on NGSS-aligned science instruction, hands-on learning, differentiation, and the use of Claim–Evidence–Reasoning (CER) to support student understanding.

NextWave Science is rooted in hands-on, inquiry-based learning that actively engages students in the scientific process. Lessons emphasize Claim–Evidence–Reasoning (CER) to develop critical thinking and scientific communication. All resources are designed with differentiation in mind, ensuring access to rigorous, NGSS-aligned content. Through structured labs, activities, and real-world applications, students build deeper understanding and increase their Depth of Knowledge (DOK).

The educator who leads NextWave Science has over 20 years of international teaching and curriculum leadership experience, including serving on secondary leadership teams and contributing to school-wide initiatives. Notable accomplishments include founding a National Junior Honor Society chapter and presenting at numerous AMISA workshops on NGSS-aligned instruction, assessment design, and student-centered learning. Curricula developed through NextWave Science have demonstrated measurable impact, contributing to growth in student performance, including multiple-point gains on NWEA MAP assessments.
