They also will learn the authentic use of graphicorganizers, content-specific vocabulary activities, science notebooks, and reciprocal teaching strategies;receive an overview of differentiation, gradual release, and inquiry-based instructional models; andbetter understand the commonalities between literacy comprehension skills and science processingskills.After day one, participants will have an opportunity to implement what they have learned. On daytwo, they will receive feedback as a learning community and share ideas about implementation.

Impacting Student Thinking Through EngineeringDate:Time:Location:11/01/13, Friday 9:00 AM - 3:00 PMCCSU Campus, New Britain12/06/13, Friday 9:00 AM - 3:00 PMCCSU Campus, New BritainEvent Code:Fee:Closing Date:Contact Person:Heather Dawes(860) 632-1485, ext. 263dawes@ctserc.org14-26-035$135 per person10/23/2013Presenter(s):James DeLauraChair of Tech Ed Department,CCSUPatrick FosterProfessor, CCSUAudience:K-Grade 5; General Education Teachers and Instructional LeadersThe National Research Council’s (NRC) “A Framework for K-12 Science Education” calls for morefocus on engineering design skills and for all students to learn about engineering principles and thedifferent engineering careers. Many elementary teachers have little practice with integrating meaningfulengineering activities into the curriculum.This two-day session is designed to acquaint teachers with engineering design concepts, let themexperience engineering activities, and teach them how to incorporate meaningful engineering activitiesinto their science classes. The content will go beyond the common one-time “egg-drop” or “tallesttower” activities to stress the iterative design process, which includes the practices of problem definition;model development and use; investigation, analysis, and interpretation of data; application ofmathematics and computational thinking; and determination of solutions.After the first day of the session, participants will be expected to implement engineering in some wayin their classroom. Participants will then share these experiences on day two for colleagues to provideconstructive feedback.Register Online at www.ctserc.org/catalog63
