Using a Communities of Practice (CoP) model, we will be working together over the next several months to master the Core Practice Sets outlined in “Ambitious Science Teaching” by Mark Windschitl, Jessica Thompson, and Melissa Braaten (https://ambitiousscienceteaching.org/).
Once registered, you will receive the Ambitious Science Teaching text by mail and we will begin meeting monthly through Zoom and in-person, February 11th, with author Melissa Braaten. Sharing ideas about what works, we will learn from others, gain new ideas and grow together ending part 1 in May with a completed lesson plan which can be submitted to ASAP as a model for other teachers.
In-person and Virtual Events for ongoing collaboration.
