Description
Climate Science 1.0: Engaging in Argument from Evidence for K-12 Teachers
Our overall goal is to provide a FREE online course for K – 12 teachers with strategies and tools to support a shift in teacher-centered discussions towards a student-centered whole-class discourse. To do so, we take a deep dive into one of the Next Generation Science Standards’ (NGSS) Science and Engineering Practice of Engaging in Argument from Evidence. This practice can be done in any grade level and with any content focus. For our purposes we will choose climate science as a vehicle for conducting a student-centered whole-class discourse.
Climate Science 2.0: Analyzing and Interpreting Data for K-12 Teachers
In this FREE Canvas Course, attendees will learn a protocol for organizing and interpreting data through tabulating, graphing, and statistical analysis. In this context of the course, the protocol will be applied to a climate science topic. With regard to NGSS alignment, the course focuses on the practice “Analyzing and Interpreting Data” within the dimension “Science and Engineering Practices.”
Climate Science 3.0: Modeling and Student Explanations for Grades K-12 Teachers
In this FREE online asynchronous Canvas Course, attendees will learn a protocol for developing and using models as a means for students to explain their thinking and understanding of scientific concepts. In this context of the course, the protocol will be applied to a climate science topic. With regard to NGSS alignment, the course focuses on the practice “Developing and Using Models”, as well as “Constructing Explanations” within the dimension “Science and Engineering Practices.”
Climate Science 4.0: Supporting Student Thinking through the Crosscutting Concepts for K-12 Teachers
Intermediate Elementary Teacher’s Cohort
In this FREE Canvas Course, participants will learn strategies for the practical application of the seven Crosscutting Concepts to improve student sense-making with scientific concepts. In the context of this course, the strategies will be applied to a climate science topic. The design for this course was based on feedback from Washington State’s nine Regional Science Coordinators and Science Fellows.
