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.
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.
Elementary Cohorts 1 and 3 will focus on using science investigations to motivate students to read, write, and engage in discourse and how to use the GRC instructional sequence to build student expertise in science. Effective science and language arts integration will be modeled and teacher will receive resources to implement instructional improvements in their classroom.
Cohort 1 and 3 are for K-6 and $20.00 per cohort
