Monday, August 20, 2018

Open to K-12 teachers
This workshop focuses on the purposeful integration of the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) with Common Core ELA and is open to all grade levels with emphases on K-6.
- Deepen your understanding of NGSS
- Experience an integrated science and ELA lesson to develop a shared vision of standards-aligned instruction
- Explore NGSS 3-dimensional teaching and learning.
- Learn about curriculum resources
Participants will explore earth science Disciplinary Core Ideas (DCIs) and engage in model lessons from K-2, 3-5, 6-8, and HS (including an outdoor experience) to examine:
- Common Core convergence using notebooks, sense-making discussions, close reading, and vocabulary development
- Formative assessment protocol to look at student work (notebook entries) and to guide instruction
- Phenomena and constructing explanations using crosscutting concepts (What that looks like at different grade spans K-12)
- Practices for sense-making (models, explanations, argumentation, obtaining, evaluation, and communicating information)
