Get Real! Science

Get Real! Science is a like-minded community of science educators and youth committed to teaching and learning science for social justice in formal and informal contexts. Centered in Rochester, NY, GRS members have brought the Warner commitments of youth-centered authentic science learning out to the world as agents of change.

A core aspect of Get Real! Science is the teacher preparation program designed to engage students in real science – that build on but are not limited to abstract concepts and ideas. Students learn and teach science through an inquiry-based approach.

This 15-month science teacher preparation graduate program is grounded in authentic experiences and consists of the following unique features:

  • A series of scaffolded non-traditional (low-stakes, highly supportive), authentic inquiry-based teaching and learning experiences that precede and complement traditional student teaching field work to support your development of pedagogical design capacity for scientific rigor through fun.
