Making Connections between Science, Math, and the SEPs
Friday November 8, 2024 8:00am - 8:50am EST
Winston 3A
The new NC science standards leverage science and engineering practices (SEPs). Modeling is the central practice of the SEPs and the process of incorporating them into courses can feel rather daunting. Where to start? What are the expectations for students? Join us to learn how to take one of your lessons and make it even more engaging using our shared strategies. Participants will leave with ready-to-go lessons they can implement into their classrooms.

Science Teacher Leader Group: Collaborate, Create, and Lead
Friday November 8, 2024 10:40am - 11:30am EST
Salem 1C
During this session, we will engage in quick, low-cost science activities that incorporates the science and engineering practices with content to focus our discussion on identifying important shifts teachers need to make with the new standards, as well as resources we have available and need to support implementation. Based on these ideas, we will form affinity groups of science teacher leaders who want to work on specific issues surfaced during the academic year in virtual PDSA style working groups. Our intention would be to come back together at NCSTA in 2025 ready to share the resources we developed.
