Course Description

For Science Teachers Grades 6-8

The Georgia Youth Science and Technology Centers (GYSTC) has developed an educator professional development experience that includes high quality supplemental instructional guides to complement the rollout of the new science standards that have been implemented FY 2017-18. The overarching goal of these experiences is to ensure that educators are pedagogically science-ready to provide the proper tools for implementing the new science standards.


Class Notes

Day 1 – Focuses on broad orientation to the curriculum documents as well as making intentional connections to the Georgia Department of Education Science Ambassador professional development program.

• the scientific and engineering practices,

• crosscutting concepts,

• disciplinary core ideas,

• how students learn science; and the

• range of instructional strategies.

 

Day 2 – Extends the professional learning experience by connecting the new curriculum with the aim of improving teachers understanding:

• student-developed models,

• classroom discourse, and

• other formative assessment approaches to gauge student thinking.
