Creating a learning experience for all students to meet all standards is hard work and should not be done in isolation. Moving science instruction forward at the elementary level can be difficult given school and district constraints, barriers, and limitations when literacy is often the primary focus. What if we used the wonder of science to engage students in a meaningful pursuit of knowledge, to think and act like scientists, thus providing the impetus needed to promote language and literacy? What if we collaborated using the Next Generation Science Standards as the instructional framework for integration to develop language and literacy in all students, but especially our English Learners?
This webinar will support K-5 teachers navigating the instruction of science using the Beaverton School District developed Wonder and Discovery Launch Unit with 12 lessons on the Scientific and Engineering Practices integrated with Literacy and Math. Experience active engagement in the webinar to do sense making around the phenomenon-based activities within the unit. Receive support on how to have your students be captivated, capable and committed learners who are scientifically literate! Webinar participants will go through a coherent and cohesive plan for how to start their year of science and take their science instruction into the next generation where rigorous science and rich language support each other. Webinar participants will receive a link to the full unit and all resources (including Spanish translation of lessons).
