Free PD workshop for science teachers tomorrow! Join the Knowles Academy for Exploring a Physical Science Phenomenon with the Practices of Science.

In this workshop, teachers will explore a physical science phenomenon to develop an understanding of how the practices of questioning, modeling, and data analysis support students in building content knowledge. Together teachers will consider places in their curriculum where phenomena and science practices can support students in building content knowledge.

New Knowles resource- Science learning goal graphic organizer.

This graphic organizer helps science teachers write learning goals using two lenses — How and What — building from a broad, general statement to an increasingly specific, classroom-ready goal. We include a worked example on wave properties, showing how a goal sharpens from general understanding to precise, actionable classroom instruction for students.

Two Knowles Senior Fellows are presenting tomorrow at the North American Association for Environmental Education! Rebecca Van Tassell and Lauren Kline are presenting: Immersive Research Experiences to Inspire and Support Environmental Education.

In this session they discuss, what if all science teachers had the experience and support to engage their students in outdoor learning? In this session, we will showcase a research experience for a teachers program that merges ecology research with supporting teachers to engage students in authentic data collection and discuss strategies for developing similar programs.
