Bridging the Three Dimensions of Science Teaching and Learning: Practices, Core Ideas, and Crosscutting Concepts
Most states are either using an authentic, state-developed Three Dimensional Learning Framework or they have implemented the NGSS to guide instruction that reflects local expectations. It is essential that teachers have opportunities to develop their ability to promote student learning. In this strand, participants will strengthen their capacity with the fundamental understandings of science (disciplinary core ideas), the "doing" of science (science and engineering practices), and the multidisciplinary themes (crosscutting concepts), for genuine and effective practice for all learners.
Constructing Bridges: Building Lifelong Appreciation and Passion for Science
Educators must be able to help students transcend instructional experiences as they develop the habits of science they will carry through life. The application of science pedagogy can introduce learners to the broad concepts and myriad connections to the real world around them. In this strand, participants will explore the varying depths of science available to all—no matter where their river flows.
Building Strong Bridges: Reinforcing the Connection Between Science and Literacy
High-performing schools often model transdisciplinary learning to help students make connections and deepen understanding in science and other content areas. In light of recent trends as computer science and technology standards are formed and expected to be infused into traditional science classes, offering STEM-focused challenges to bridge literacy skills across disciplines allows teachers to address diverse learners' needs. In this strand, participants will delve into examples from practitioners reaching across traditional boundaries to illuminate three-dimensional science learning.
