The Science House Presents: Shifting to Modeling and the SEPs in Elementary School
Thursday November 7, 2024 8:30am - 9:20am EST
So you are already doing great science/ STEM teaching in your elementary school class, now what? How can we shift to incorporating more Science and Engineering Practices? Join us for a guided self-reflection time where we work on shifting lessons toward SEP implementation. Participants will experience a traditional lesson and then work through a guided reflection process that demonstrates how to identify areas that can be enhanced to become more student-centered and minds-on.

SEPs, DCIs, and the New Biology Standards...Oh My!
Thursday November 7, 2024 3:30pm - 4:20pm EST
Nervous about the new Biology standards? Overwhelmed by the supporting documents? Unsure what assessment will look like? Session presenters served on the teams that wrote the new standards, drafted the supporting documents, and made recommendations for EOC assessment specs. Now, we want to help teachers develop meaningful instruction, resolve concerns, and feel confident utilizing the new standards with their students. Time will be reserved for small-group collaboration.
