SCIENCE CLICKS WHEN STUDENTS GET TO DO IT!


Children are already asking questions about the world around them. Why did that plant grow? Where did the water go? What made the soil change?

Science starts there. But in an already packed school day, teachers don’t always have the time or resources to follow where those questions lead. Out Teach helps them make room for it. We provide practical training and ready-to-use lessons that connect science to the real world, and to what students are already expected to learn. Students aren’t only hearing about science. They’re investigating it for themselves. 

WHAT THIS LOOKS LIKE ACROSS NORTH TEXAS


Last school year, we worked with:

🧒🏽 9,267 NORTH TEXAS STUDENTS 

🧑🏾‍🏫 642 TEACHERS

🏫 19 SCHOOLS

YOUR GIFT HELPS TEACHERS CREATE MORE MOMENTS OF DISCOVERY WITH:


  • Practical training teachers can use right away
  • Ready-to-use lessons connected to grade-level learning
  • Outdoor learning labs students can use to observe, test ideas, and gather evidence
  • Continued support that helps teachers make real-world learning part of everyday instruction

THIS WORK STARTED IN TEXAS.


Nearly 20 years ago, Out Teach began with a simple idea: when teachers can connect learning to the world around students, school starts to feel different. Students lean in. They ask more questions. Something that felt abstract begins to make sense. North Texas is where this work began. It remains a vital part of where we’re going next.

Mission

Out Teach is an education nonprofit that equips elementary teachers to make learning real, relevant, and hands-on. Through practical training, ready-to-use resources, and outdoor learning labs, we help teachers connect science, math, and literacy to the world students experience every day.

When students can investigate meaningful questions, test their ideas, and learn through direct experience, they build more than academic knowledge. They develop the curiosity, confidence, and problem-solving skills they will carry into future classrooms, careers, and communities.

Your gift helps more North Texas teachers create those opportunities, and more students see themselves as capable learners with ideas worth exploring.

Needs

Across North Texas, teachers want to give students meaningful opportunities to explore science, but limited time, materials, and practical support can make hands-on learning difficult to sustain. When those opportunities are limited, students have fewer chances to test ideas, work through problems, and see how science connects to their lives. Teachers need training and resources that fit within the realities of the school day and strengthen the math, literacy, and science learning already underway.

Equity Statement

Out Teach is built on the fact that new and different experiences add knowledge and perspectives that help everyone grow and succeed. We embrace diversity, equity, and inclusive practices not only because they are morally important, but also because these efforts strengthen our organization so that we may better serve our partners and move them toward their goals. The ideals of diversity, equity, and inclusion guide our staffing, partnerships, and strategic decisions every day. It is the way we are meant to be: Ourselves, Fair, and Present.
