Elementary teachers often lack science knowledge. Hands-on cookbook labs make them feel like they are teaching science. They need to know that Dimensions will give their students opportunities to 'be' scientists. Science instruction is not about just 'doing something' but instead, researching and thinking about the natural world like a scientist. The program has strong supports for teachers and they can become more confident if they utilize the PD available.

ES teachers tend to focus on reading and math.  Convincing a district that the investment of science must start in K rather than MS.

Elementary teachers will be overwhelmed when they see the program. Time is a huge factor in their day. Science and Social Studies are often put on the back burner. THey feel text book companies do not understand their day.

I think K-5 teachers will be nervous about time needed to teach the program, as well as integrating tech (if they don't have much availability, or much experience utilizing it)

I've had a district comment that it seemed too scripted - they were concerned that it didn't lend itself towards more open inquiry. I suspect that this is not going to be an issue once we can show the full lessons instead of just the PDF thin slices that we were showing at that time.

Generally, I have found 6-12 teachers to be very excited. K-5 teachers are scared - Science is one of up to 6 subjects they teach. The teacher support at K-5 level will be essential to winning support there.

There are many schools and districts that are not technologically ready to utilize a digital-first program. They always express that concern to us.
