The vision...

of the Boston Public Schools Science Department ensures that every student, from preschool through high school graduation, is provided with opportunities to actively engage in the science and engineering practices and make sense of scientific phenomenon by using their observations and data through talking, reading, and writing. Students must explore science in their everyday lives and realize that they are capable scientists and engineers, whether they pursue a career in these fields or not. Students bring a diversity of knowledge and skills from their different backgrounds and cultural experiences into the classroom. This diversity provides rich perspectives and are assets upon which new understandings can be built. Students must graduate ready to be critical consumers of science -- capable of analyzing data, critiquing arguments and participating in scientific discourse as citizens making informed decisions about the challenges that confront society.
