Leading A.K.A. Science Classes

You don't have to be a science whiz to teach A.K.A. Science! Anyone can lead A.K.A. Science—schoolteachers, parents and community volunteers. School teachers get the opportunity to transfer A.K.A. science techniques to their regular classrooms, parents can get involved in their child's education and volunteers have the chance to give something back to their community. The support and training you receive from OHCC will enable you to provide students with a great learning experience.

Before you lead an A.K.A. Science class, you will attend training in progressive, informal teaching methods. ( New Leader Training and Materials Training for A.K.A. Science Leaders new to the program. Veteran A.K.A. Science Leaders need ONLY attend the Materials Training ). At training, you receive a clear and detailed lesson plan for each class and a kit including all materials for the eight sessions. There is no scrambling to get supplies together! Everything you need is packed in your kit.

Training for fall classes is offered at OHCC 's office in Wilsonville on your choice of the following:
