Do you want teachers and students to connect your science content to other science topics and to the real world? The Origins Education Forum and its member missions have developed a variety of professional development experiences for middleand high-school level educators that integrate content from multiple space science missions and research programs searching for the origins of galaxies, stars, planets, and life. These thematic experiences provide opportunities for educators to experience science content within a larger context, strengthening understanding of the relationships between science topics, and helping students and teachers to make connections to the real world and to education standards. By making use of the expertise of both scientists and educators, we are able to provide continuity in the learning process and afford the opportunity for audiences to experience successively deeper levels of professional development. Here we provide an overview of the strategies that Forum members have developed for presenting integrated experiences for educators, as well as an in-depth example of a professional development experience that enables educators to share current science discoveries with students. By working as a team, we bring content to a wider range of audiences, and we convey a more coherent message. This educational model is transferable to a variety of programs, which can similarly achieve the synergistic advantage that results from scientists and educators coordinating their efforts toward a common goal.
