Spring Branch ISD
The Spring Branch ISD JASON/Chevron STEM implementation program began with training in the spring of 2012, classroom implementation in the 2012-2013 school year, continuation and expansion in 2013-2014, and the development of a sustainability plan in the summer of 2014. Key components of the JASON Learning program included extensive teacher leader trainings and professional development of secondary science teachers, utilization of JASON Learning curriculum in middle and high school classrooms, live presentations from key JASON scientists with middle and high school classes, and student experiences with the JASON National Argonaut program. The JASON Learning curriculum was embedded in the Spring Branch science curriculum with the goal of becoming a sustainable curriculum component of multiple STEM instruction units in the district.
