Saturday, June 14, 2025
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., June 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- BetterLesson, the leading provider of data-driven, high-impact, system-wide K-12 teaching and learning solutions, is proud to announce its newest partnership with PASCO Scientific, a leader in hands-on science education and lab tools.
PASCO Scientific has been a pioneer in hands-on science education since 1964, providing award-winning data-logging solutions and STEM education tools to classrooms around the world. Their mission is to equip students and educators with modern technology to enhance science learning. By integrating cutting-edge hardware with engaging curriculum, PASCO ensures that students gain the skills they need to succeed in STEM fields and beyond.
The PASCO Scientific partnership with BetterLesson is focused on providing high-quality professional learning (PL) to support the implementation of OpenSciEd 6-12 science curriculum. As PASCO delivers the curriculum and lab technology for OpenSciEd, BetterLesson will serve as the PL provider for the districts they sell to, ensuring that educators receive the training they need to maximize the impact of PASCO's tools and resources.
Key components of this partnership include:
-- Comprehensive Professional Learning Journey: PASCO and BetterLesson will
collaborate to develop a structured PL experience, including a launch
webinar, asynchronous course, in-person training, bite-sized
asynchronous learning, supplemental planning workshops, and learning
walks.
-- Integrated Solutions & Value-Added Services: Coordinated curriculum, lab
tool, and professional learning packages that ease the path to
implementation and offer value for districts..
-- Flexible Delivery Options: Professional learning formats designed to
meet district needs and capacities, including live virtual workshops,
on-site facilitation, asynchronous courses, and follow-up coaching.
"Too often, great curriculum and effective professional learning exist in separate silos," said Matthew Kennard, CEO of BetterLesson. "Our partnership with PASCO Scientific breaks down those walls, pairing PASCO's dynamic OpenSciEd offerings and innovative science tools with BetterLesson's personalized, tech-enabled professional learning. Together, we're equipping educators to deliver engaging science instruction that helps all students learn more deeply."
Together, BetterLesson and PASCO aim to create a seamless implementation process for districts adopting OpenSciEd, ensuring educators are well-supported throughout the first two years and beyond.
"This partnership reflects our shared commitment to delivering a fully integrated science experience--from curriculum and lab tools to educator support. By working with BetterLesson, we ensure that districts adopting OpenSciEd are supported every step of the way, making high-quality science education more accessible and sustainable."
-- Dave Manglesdorf, COO, PASCO Scientific
At BetterLesson, we believe that every student deserves access to a high-quality education, and both high-quality instructional materials and high-quality instruction are integral to that access. By providing comprehensive, integrated, scalable, high-impact professional development to support districts' leverage of PASCO in alignment with the adoption of OpenSciEd, we are helping provide students with access to high-quality science learning experiences and empower educators to make the most of these vital resources.
