The four-day curriculum launch will guide teachers with a wide range of backgrounds and experience through the paradigm shift from āsage on the stageā to skillful facilitator of equitable science […]
Learn how the NextGen Science Storylines approach is implemented in the OpenSciEd Middle School Science Program. Storylines are coherent from the studentsā perspective, in which students see their science work […]
Looking to make your classroom more inclusive? Want to support your students with IEPs better? UDL provides a framework for removing barriers and increasing access for students. The Universal Design […]
Preview how the OpenSciEd High School Chemistry course unit sequence will help students figure out progressively more nuanced parts, properties and interactions of matter with engaging, real-world phenomena. McCormick Place […]
Equitable instructional practices are central to the design of the OpenSciEd materials. Learn about these practices and take away strategies for your practice. In this session, participants will be […]
See how tools developed within OpenSciEd units can support studentsā progression of and engagement in SEPs and CCCs across a variety of unit contexts. Teachers need open source, high-quality instructional […]
Struggling with figuring out how to meet your grading needs while supporting 3D sensemaking? This session will provide sample 3D assessments and approaches to grading. As educators shift their teaching […]
Explore how students can build elements of disciplinary core ideas, crosscutting concepts, and science and engineering practices coherently across middle school. It has been common practice to move around units […]
Explore supports for growth in the practice of Engaging in Argument from Evidence embedded in a storyline middle school chemistry unit. Arguing from evidence can be an integral part of the knowledge-building work students do as part of any three dimensional science learning, as students make sense of their findings and use them to develop […]
Support students in making sense of complex biological phenomena by beginning with the most observable level to motivate figuring out smaller-scale components, relationships, and mechanisms. Participants will explore examples of three life science units that use accessible entry points to support students in making sense of complex biological phenomena. Complex biological phenomena, such as how […]
