EnergyTeachers.org (ETO) can collaborate with you to develop deep projects around 21st century issues in science and technology. ETO has been working with schools and teachers since 2004, adding rich topics, activities, and experiences to classrooms. See our Projects link above for some examples.
From the DESE web site: "In the deeper learning model, expert teachers help students demonstrate fluency in a given academic area so that students can identify themselves as participants in and contributors to that area." EnergyTeachers.org helps educators develop activities where students see themselves as creators, agents, and/or scientists.
