Unpack the NEW Science Standards
You've asked for support and we have a great opportunity!
NIESC is pleased to host author and consultant, Sarah Henry, as she facilitates a 2-day workshop designed specifically to help all science teachers understand and make the most of the new Indiana Science Standards.
In this 2-day, professional learning session, we will unpack the new Indiana Science Standards to better understand 3D learning and the content within the standards. We will apply this to “thinking like a scientist”. Participants will have time to develop units/pacing guides with other participants.
Goals:
Teacher Buy-In for SOR - The Early Literacy Cadre will learn from Melissa Gill as guest speaker for the group on February 2 @ 9 EST. This will be a virtual event, to support those navigating the Science of Reading. All are welcome to join. Zoom Link
This 2-hour mini summit will feature short, powerful, focused sessions that provide educators with a strategy or protocol to shift or lift instructional practices.
Shifts will introduce a classroom move or practice that may take you into a new way of thinking or approaching instruction.
Lifts will take a common classroom strategy or process and introduce ways to elevate and enhance those practices for greater impact!
Sessions will last only 15 -20 minutes and include a mini-lesson and a try-tomorrow demonstration for quick application in your classroom!
Integrating Literacy & Science Instruction to Support Accelerated Learning
Join Natalie Wexler, author of the Knowledge Gap, and Rebecca Abbott (UC Berkeley Lawrence Hall of Science) on Monday, February 13, from 6:00–7:00 p.m. EST for a conversation about how to improve achievement in the reading AND science classroom. (You'll still get the recording if you register but don't attend.)
Accelerated learning describes how we support students in making progress toward grade-level learning goals. In contrast to typical remediation strategies that focus on practicing discrete skills, accelerated learning emphasizes building the knowledge necessary for students to comprehend grade-level content.
Reserve your spot now, and you’ll be entered to win a free copy of Natalie’s book, The Writing Revolution: A Guide to Advancing Thinking Through Writing in All Subjects and Grades.
