A first-touch workshop where we explore the use of phenomena in classroom activities aligned to three-dimensional (3D) performance expectations derived from A Framework for K-12 Science Education.
We place you in a student scientist role to review the structure and intent of 3D standards.
We dig deep into phenomena, exploring criteria, characteristics, and pitfalls.
You evaluate stand-alone phenomena and phenomena in published lessons, considering merits and alignments of each.
You evaluate activities in published lessons, focusing on the phenomenon, student use of the core dimensions, and student-centered learning.
In the end, you have a process to determine if a lesson aligns to your state’s standards or can be easily modified for them. And you know how to evaluate whether that lesson includes a phenomenon or an anchor that will work for you.
Introduction to Phenomena involves eight contact hours, plus time on assignments.
We customize 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).
