Archive: Learn and Lead: How to Support Teachers Making the Shift to 3D Teaching and Learning, January 21, 2026

As science education evolves, the shift toward three-dimensional (3D) teaching and learning—integrating disciplinary core ideas, crosscutting concepts, and science and engineering practices—represents a transformative opportunity for educators and students alike. But with transformation comes challenge, and teachers need informed, sustained support as they reimagine their instructional practice.

Drawing on current research, classroom examples, and district case studies, this session will focus on:

Three-dimensional (3D) learning is at the heart of the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) and today’s science education reform—but what does it really look like in classrooms, and how can leaders support its implementation system wide?

Designed specifically for school and district leaders, this session will provide a clear vision of 3D learning in action and offer tools for identifying and supporting high-quality, three-dimensional instruction.
