SP23: Science Notebooks in Student-Centered Classrooms: Professional Book Study for K-8 Teachers

Science notebooks are a powerful and flexible tool to support students’ sensemaking. The science notebook creates a space for students to document their thinking, develop and revise models, plan investigations, and analyze data—all of which serve as a record for students of how their ideas have evolved over time. Additionally, strategic use of science notebooks provide opportunities for purposeful communication that are supportive of both science and language learning.

Archive: Transforming Science Learning: Leading the Implementation of High-Quality Instructional Materials to Enact Standards: Practical Guidance From the Field, November 7, 2022

High-quality instructional materials (HQIM) designed for next generation science can make a difference in the quality of equitable science teaching and learning throughout the educational system and for all learners (i.e., for all leaders, teachers, and students). So how can local leaders take a systems approach to the selection, broad and effective implementation, and sustained improvements offered by such materials? What are some practical ways to make this work in our community?

FA22: Topic Study for Elementary Teachers: Designing Meaningful 3-D Assessments

This topic study for elementary school teachers on assessing three-dimensional learning will move our learning community from research to practice over the course of four weeks. We will use high-quality instructional and assessment materials to identify the similarities and differences between tasks designed for instruction and assessment tasks.
