- “Getting Started with Core Knowledge Science (CKSci)” [grades K–5]
Training Information
The Train-the-Trainer series follows a 2-part hybrid model that requires participation in online modules and a 3-day face-to-face institute. Throughout this offering, participants will engage in deep learning around the key tenets of each workshop, have an opportunity to practice teaching specific sections, and walk away with a set of training materials (e.g., Instructor Guides and PowerPoints) that they can use/adapt at their site.
Part 1: ONLINE
January – February 2024
The online modules will be released starting in mid-January and run through late-February. While it is highly recommended that participants start the asynchronous work in January, the online portion of the training is flexible. That is, if needed, participants can start the asynchronous modules at a later point as long as the work is completed by late February.

No. The provided workshop content only focuses on the Core Knowledge approach, Core Knowledge History and Geography (CKHG), and Core Knowledge Science (CKSci). While the Core Knowledge approach informed much of the design of CKLA, neither the workshops nor this training will focus on supporting CKLA implementation.
If you are looking for training specifically focused on CKLA, please contact our publishing partner, Amplify.
