Learn about these practices and take away strategies for your practice.   In this session, participants will be introduced to a framework for identifying the features of a classroom culture that support equitable sensemaking. There are four main features: 1. Who is engaged […]

#NSTA22 – Scaffolding students’ progression through CCCs and SEPs using resources from the OpenSciEd toolkit

See how tools developed within OpenSciEd units can support students’ progression of and engagement in SEPs and CCCs across a variety of unit contexts. Teachers need open source, high-quality instructional materials to support the teaching/learning shifts in the Next Generation Science Standards, and tools that support bringing these shifts into their own practice. Explore how […]

#NSTA22 – Approaches to Assessment and Grading that Support Student Sensemaking

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 practice to align with the Framework for K-12 Science and the NGSS, they face various challenges and barriers. One pressing challenge is how to align […]

#NSTA22 – Supporting Learning Across All Three Dimensions Coherently from Unit to Unit Across Middle School

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 in science curricula based on teacher licensure, teacher preference, or state standards. However, the shifts in three-dimensional science learning supporting equitable science education emphasize the […]

#NSTA22 – Starting with Complex Macroscopic Phenomena – A Different Approach to Teaching Cells & Genetics & Evolution

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 […]
