Register at www.pnwboces.org/catalog Preparing for the New Science Standards: A Focus on the Science Practices of Modeling, Explanation and Argument What do the science practices of modeling, explanation, and argument from evidence, look like in the classroom and how can I design activities to implement these practices in my instruction? To align with the the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) and the Framework for K-12 Science Education, there will need to be a fundamental change in the way we teach science.A major change in instruction will involve a new emphasis on the process of science, with the integration of the eight Science Practices with the Core Ideas. These Science Practices have clarified the elements of scientific inquiry and are part of the Performance Expectations described in the NGSS. This workshop will address three of the Science Practices in depth: Developing and Using Models, Constructing Explanations, and Engaging in Argument from Evidence. After a brief introduction to the Framework and NGSS, teachers will: • Learn about the practices of modeling, explanation, and argument, and what these practices look like in the classroom • Design a CER activity (claim, evidence, and reasoning) that includes argument and also involves students in using a model • Choose one core idea in the new Standards that is appropriate for their grade level and develop activities linked to their core idea that involve these three practices. PARTICIPANTS: Elementary teachers, science teachers, science curriculum coordinators/directors DATE/TIME: Nov 14 2013 8:30AM - 3:00PM COST: $142 for Curriculum Center Members; $163 Curriculum Center Non Members LOCATION: Putnam/Northern Westchester BOCES; Yorktown Heights, NY; School Services Building FACILITATOR: Myrna Klotzkin is a scientist and science educator, who served as the K-12 Science Director at the North Shore School District for 13 years. She is Emeritus Professor of Chemistry (Manhattanville College), with a Ph.D. from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and is the author of several research publications. At North Shore Schools, Dr. Klotzkin chaired the high school and middle school science departments and supervised teachers at all levels. She guided her teachers in the development of a fully articulated K-12 science curriculum, and provided staff development at all levels of science instruction. Presently, Dr. Klotzkin teaches professional development workshops and is a Putnam/Northern Westchester BOCES on-site consultant in all areas of science education, focusing this year on preparing teachers for the Next Generation Science Standards. She is available to provide onsite consultation. Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics REGISTRATION REQUIRED BY: 10/31/2013 81
Register at www.pnwboces.org/catalog Engineering Practices For Next Generation Science Students How can engineering be successfully integrated into the K-8 science curriculum? Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics The Framework for K-12 Science Education and the Next Generation Science Standards firmly place engineering in the science classroom. But what do students need to know if they are to demonstrate mastery? There are eight essential elements of engineering practices: 1. Defining problems 2. Developing and using models 3. Planning and carrying out investigations 4. Analyzing and interpreting data 5. Using mathematics and computational thinking 6. Designing solutions 7. Engaging in argument from evidence 8. Obtaining, evaluating and communicating information. In this workshop participants will learn the language of engineering and practices as they build solutions to a variety of design challenges including “Mint Mobile,” racing cars, roller coasters, and a cooler. Ways to integrate technology, mathematics and Common Core ELA Standards into these activities will be modeled. Participants will leave with many exemplary lessons and resources that can be used in the K-8 classroom. PARTICIPANTS: Elementary teachers, middle school science teachers, and science coordinators DATE/TIME: Nov 18 2013 8:30AM - 3:00PM COST: $164 for Curriculum Center Members; $189 Curriculum Center Non Members LOCATION: Putnam/Northern Westchester BOCES; Yorktown Heights, NY; School Services Building FACILITATOR: Helen Pashley’s strong science background originated in England where she was born and raised. In addition to her teaching experience at the high school level in England, Helen also worked with younger students as they experienced hands-on science. Dr. Pashley developed popular and successful science enrichment programs for several school districts in the region. Dr. Pashley currently serves as a science consultant, curriculum designer and trainer, and a consultant to the P/NW BOCES SCIENCE 21 program. Two of her NGSS aligned lessons were recently published in Science for the Next Generation by the National Science Teachers Association (NSTA). Dr. Pashley is available to provide onsite support in your district. REGISTRATION REQUIRED BY: 11/4/2013 82
