The NGSS and Common Core State Standards are the policies that provide schools with the “WHAT” and GEMS-Net has been providing the “HOW” for Rhode Island Public Schools since 1995. A partnership between local K-8 schools and the University of Rhode Island’s School of Education, GEMS-Net has created a replicable model that enables superintendents, principals, and teachers develop concept understanding alongside practices and hands-on lessons that help young students learn science in an engaging and authentic context.
