“What the Ambitious Science Teaching did was it allowed us to get at why is this really important — for students, for learning itself, for the community. And then it gave some really nice examples of how it’s implemented, [which] gave folks the knowledge that they needed to then take it back and one, make it happen in their classroom, or two, to support their own colleagues in fostering growth.”

Ambitious Teaching—An overview

In this video we illustrate what Ambitious Teaching looks like in classrooms ranging from high school to kindergarten. The practices were developed through collaborations between teachers and researchers, and they are continually evolving as we learn more about how they work with young learners. There are several themes that you’ll see in all examples, such as a focus on puzzling and complex phenomena, opportunities to make sense through talk, making thinking visible, attending to who is participating, using various forms of scaffolding and tools, and much more.
