The PD will model instruction and provide strategies and insights for teaching three-dimensional science consistent with the Arizona Science Standards and the vision for science teaching and learning from the 2011 National Research Council’s Report A Framework for K-12 Science Education: Practices, Core Ideas, and Crosscutting Concepts. Brett Moulding, Director of the Partnership for Effective Science Teaching and Learning (PESTL), will deliver all PD sessions.
Cohorts 1 and 2 engage teachers in an introduction to three-dimensional science teaching and learning as well as a set of GRC lesson plans for each of the Arizona Science Standards.
Cohort 2 professional development will be on February 1 (full day together) and February 11, 2025 (afterschool virtual).
The session will model effective science instruction and support teachers in learning the science content for their grade level. Teachers in the 6-12 Cohort 2 will use the book Engaging Students in Science Investigation Using GRC.
Both groups will have a book study with the authors of the book. This will be a fun opportunity for teachers to engage in academic discourse about best teaching practices that are practical for implementation in their classrooms.
