With back-to-school season fast approaching, we’re working to make your job a little simpler and to help you equip your students to get the most from Amplify Science. We’ve developed a new online resource that we hope will do just that—all year long.

Introducing start.amplify.com

Here you’ll find an introduction to all the Amplify programs, resources to help you access and use the platform, details on training opportunities and curriculum materials, answers to frequently asked questions, and more. 

Your days are busy, and implementing new or updated curriculum programs in the classroom can sometimes feel overwhelming. start.amplify.com will walk you through what you need to get started with Amplify Science. You’ll also find the link to our Caregiver Hub to provide to your students' caregivers. It will help them to engage and support their learners from home. 

Don’t miss the start.amplify.com “What’s new!” section for new and enhanced Amplify Science features for this year. When you provide us feedback, we’re listening, and this year’s program is better than ever! 

We hope these online tools will be valuable to you in the weeks and months ahead. Watch for lots more to come on start.amplify.com—including event updates and resources to support your students. 

And as you prepare your classroom for a new class of students, we invite you to download this customizable welcome sign!

Kerstyn Wescott & Laurel Darby

Rock Falls Elementary School District 13, Illinois


“Kerstyn and Laurel have been leaders in teaching Amplify Science not only to their colleagues but also to administrators in our area. They are using the curriculum to show students not only how to think about science but also how to read science in order to challenge how students view the world around them. Kerstyn and Laurel were able to instill engagement not only with our in-person students but our remote students as well.”

— Tara Kristoff, Assistant Superintendent of Teaching and Learning
