What is ETHOS?

ETHOS Pre-K - 6th Grade
National Science Curriculum

Covers All NGSS Science Standards

Grade Level Certified (GLC) is a STEM program designed with insights from teachers, students, administrators, and parents to teach, inspire, and expose kids to grade-level science STANDARDS through fun, engaging and hands-on labs.

“GLC is what teachers need to successfully implement the national science standards within an already jam-packed school day!”

ALERT TO ALL
INDIANA SCHOOLS!

This brochure has been created to highlight the curriculum map and vertical alignment essential for fostering a robust science education for our students.

Understanding the Challenge

The Indiana Department of Education (IDOE) has recently condensed the national science standards to approximately 30% of their original scope, labeling them as "essential standards” (ES). While this streamlining aims to focus learning, it inadvertently creates a substantial gap in the foundational knowledge and skills necessary for our students to excel in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) careers.
