Teachers' Customizations of Storyline Science Curriculum: Adapting for Their Students and Instructional Contexts

Science Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Curriculum materials can play an essential role to help teachers shift their instruction. However, curricular enactment does not look identical in every classroom, because teachers need to be responsive to their students. In this study, we investigated the customizations teachers made while enacting storyline science curriculum.
