MASTER HOLISTIC SCIENCE TEACHING – IN YOUR OWN TIME
After more than 5 years, 300+ Teachers, 8 Cohorts, and 5+ countries, Holistic Science Teaching Fellowship is launching its self-paced online course (MOOC). We’re pilot testing how the MOOC performs as compared to our in-person and hybrid version and are offering a special incentive for those willing to help us do this!
What is Holistic Teaching MOOC?
A self-paced online course designed for science teachers who want to bring curiosity, critical inquiry, and interdisciplinary thinking into their classrooms. This program builds on the success of earlier in-person workshops and now offers teachers the flexibility to learn on their own schedule.
Course Description
The Holistic Science Teaching (HSTF) MOOC brings history, ethics, philosophy, culture, and real-world cases into the heart of science education. It equips teachers with practical tools, planning strategies, and frameworks that help them connect scientific ideas across disciplines and show students that science is part of a living human story.

Past Workshops
The Beginning at LUMS
Our first-ever Holistic Science Teaching workshop took place at LUMS University in 2022. It was a four-day residential program, followed by an additional one-day session after a month. We received an overwhelming response from teachers and participants. This inaugural workshop primarily engaged middle school science teachers (Grades 6–8), setting the foundation for our holistic and interdisciplinary approach to science education.

1- Expanding Access Through Online Learning
In 2023, we transitioned to a fully online format, allowing us to bring together a diverse cohort of teachers,from elite private schools to grassroots NGOs. This online model enabled us to expand our cohort size significantly and make participation more flexible through weekend sessions. The shift helped us refine our pedagogy and community-building strategies for virtual learning environments.
