In this first-touch workshop, we explore using phenomena in lessons aligned to three-dimensional (3D) performance expectations based on A Framework for K-12 Science Education.
We will place you in the role of a student scientist to review the structure and intent of these standards. Then we will dig into phenomena, exploring criteria, characteristics, and pitfalls. You will evaluate examples of stand-alone phenomena and phenomena associated with published resources, discussing the alignments and merits of each. You will evaluate activities in published resources, focusing on the phenomenon, student use of the three dimensions, and student-centered learning.
In the end, you will have a process to help you determine if a curricular resource aligns to your state's standards and whether it includes a phenomenon or anchor that will work for you.
Special online sessions of Introduction to Phenomena involve eight contact hours, plus time spent on assignments. We customize the content based on enrollment (e.g., for participants in Indiana, we discuss the 2023 Indiana Academic Standards for Science; for participants in Pennsylvania, we discuss the new STEELS).Download a flyer with objectives and goals.
