Are your students making their thinking visible? Student notebooks and progress trackers are essential tools used in OpenSciEd classrooms for supporting sensemaking, self-assessment, and learning over time but only if they are used intentionally.
Participants will:
Helping students make sense of complex scientific ideas requires more than just content delivery, it requires purposeful, consistent opportunities for thinking, talking, and connecting ideas. Instructional routines are structured, repeatable strategies that create space for all students to engage in meaningful sensemaking.
What does it take to create a science classroom where students feel empowered to share their ideas, ask questions, and figure things out together?
What makes instructional materials high quality—and how can you tell the difference between a resource that simply covers content and one that truly supports deep, three-dimensional learning?
Join us on Thursday, November 20, 2025, from 7:00 PM to 8:30 PM ET, to learn how aligning professional learning with instructional materials creates the conditions for lasting instructional change leading to more coherent, and engaging science learning for all students.
What does it really mean for students to make sense of science?
