A modern, local NGSS science curriculum
With a perfect score on the state evaluation in alignment, progression, and phenomena-based learning Stile makes it a breeze to teach a true NGSS curriculum. It gives you the confidence that you’re covering the standards to the appropriate level, while also providing the analytics you need to know which of your students are meeting the standards, and which need additional support.
The materials consistently integrate the DCIs, SEPs, and CCCs for the grade-band as well as explicitly aligning with the nature of science.

Rediscover the joy of teaching
Stile gives Oregon’s new teachers the support they need and our veteran teachers the flexibility they deserve. Stile does not replace teachers. Instead, it empowers teachers to bring their ideas to life and better serve the needs of their students.
Science evolves, and Stile evolves with it
Stile is constantly updated to incorporate the latest science news and global issues important to your students. When teaching with Stile your lessons are never out-of-date.
Science News

The influence of social media
Stile is engaging and exciting, and it’s relevant, and I love that it’s constantly changing based on what’s happening in the world. You’re not printing a textbook and giving it to us for the next 25 years, instead Stile content constantly adapts, and that makes it relevant for the kids.

Customized for Oregon Schools
In our Human Impacts on Ecosystems unit, students act as geologists, ecologists, and activists to uncover evidence for how to save coral reefs and prevent a mass extinction. This includes learning about how scientists make inferences about past environments and investigating the processes of fossil formation and dating. Our team customized a lesson on inferences from fossil evidence for our schools in Oregon to include videos and questions about the John Day Fossil Beds.

Foster student collaboration
Just like real scientists and engineers, Stile’s curriculum has students collaborating on research projects, debating scientific ideas, and sharing their learning reflections with one another. Stile helps teachers to foster safe collaborative environments, supporting student social and emotional well-being, such that even the most shy of students will build confidence and begin to flourish in a collaborative environment.
Stile has been so amazing! It really is so much more student-centered than our current curriculum that I am almost giddy.

Boost reading, writing, and math
Reading, writing, and math are not confined to the walls of ELA and math classrooms. Stile’s science curriculum promotes the growth and development of reading, writing, and math for all students, helping them to more meaningfully engage in science discussions and statistical analysis.
I have one really smart kid, really auditory but reads at a first-grade level. He loves the word-by-word highlighting and audio support. With Stile, he can take the quiz all by himself now! I also have one student who just arrived who only speaks Spanish. This makes it easier for her. It’s the part I love best about Stile too.
