Transforming Science Learning: Talking Toward Sensemaking: Using the Three Discussion Types to Build Ownership of Big Ideas in Science, July 15, 2020

We need to create opportunities for students to share and build on each other’s ideas. How we facilitate these discussions depends on the purpose of these discussions which changes throughout an instructional sequence. In this web seminar, we’ll look at the different types of discussions and gain strategies for implementing them.

Transforming Science Learning: Acting, Thinking and Talking As Scientists: Engaging Students in Science and Engineering Practices, August 12, 2020

Whether in the classroom or at home, we want to provide students with opportunities for sensemaking. The actual doing of science or engineering can also pique students’ curiosity, capture their interest, and motivate their continued study; the insights thus gained help them recognize that the work of scientists and engineers is a creative endeavor—one that has deeply affected the world they live in (A Framework for K-12 Science Education, p 42).

Topic Study for K-12 Science Teachers: Distance-Learning Strategies that Support Student Sensemaking, August, 2020

Many states, districts, and schools are unsure of what the coming school year will bring. Will we back together in the classroom or teaching and learning from a distance? Perhaps a blend of the two? In this four-part web seminar series, we’ll explore ways in which we can continue to give our students experience with relevant, intriguing phenomena to create the need to engage in science learning to explain what they’ve observed utilizing distance-learning strategies.

Assessing Three-Dimensional Learning, July 23-24, 2020

Three-dimensional teaching and learning presents new opportunities to build assessments that move student learning forward. The challenge we face is how do we get there from our current system of assessment. In this workshop, participants will begin by learning how to leverage student artifacts as part of a formative assessment cycle using a student work analysis protocol. Participants will also gain experience using science assessment tasks screening tools.
