Bellingham School District Partnership

Across the nation, the amount of time elementary school students spend engaged in learning science has been diminishing--and now averages only 18 minutes per day! Early release days in the Bellingham School District provide the perfect opportunity for Western Students to gain valuable experience teaching science while also expanding students’ opportunities to learn science. SCED 480/490 students have partnered with several local elementary schools to provide Science Clubs on site during early-release times, and have also hosted early-release day science workshops in collaboration with the SPARK museum
