Members of the Oregon Science Teachers Association are invited to a FREE professional learning on the Dimensions of Success for Middle Grades Learning Engineering and Science (DoS-MiddLES), a strengths-based observation system for grade 5 to 8 science and engineering classrooms.

 

Our research team at the Institute for the Study of Resilience in Youth (ISRY) has worked with science teachers across the U.S. to redesign the DoS-MiddLES, which integrates learning and doing science and engineering with building resilience and thriving skills. Our teacher partners shared that they appreciate the DoS-MiddLES’  “concrete suggestions and small tweaks” to their practice and we’re excited to invite teachers in Oregon to REGISTER HERE to join one of our initial cohorts to become certified to use the DoS-MiddLES observation tool.

 

Through our Certification-Based Training, held in Summer 2025, learners will develop skills in conducting standardized classroom observations using the DoS-MiddLES system. They can also receive a copy of the DoS-MiddLES observation tool, a certificate for up to 20 hours of professional learning, and $50 for sharing feedback about their learning experience.
