“Ambitious Science Teaching is the mortar that holds all the bricks together, and the bricks are often handed to you by your district.”
“I’m glad you didn’t give me three steps because that would be a lie. It’s not that easy. And so instead, you gave me a complex idea about how to do this in my classroom and examples that don’t erase the complexity.”

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.
