1. Staff development
Instructional strategies are more effective at increasing
retention rates among students. Note taking, summarizing, and problem solving
are some of Marzano’s most effective instructional strategies. This session will
provide participants with the tools to introduce interactive journaling that will enhance students understanding of the science concepts being studied through
reading and writing.

From Region 10
(campus general funds previously paid)
Estimated cost: $1000.00
|
Follow-up walkthroughs to observe science instruction, note taking,
summarizing, and problem solving; lesson plans including departmental
planning meetings.
|

2. Science Technology
STEPS is
an opportunity to make a connection between what happens in the classroom and
what happens in the world outside.
People working in the Science and Technology area of employment show
primary school children, what they do in the real world and bring the world
outside the classroom to life.

Focused assessment of
SC1 This
approach uses activities from the QCA Scheme of Work to focus assessment on
specific aspects of scientific inquiry (SC1). It has been based on a strategy
first devised by Bristol LEA then developed by the Improving Science Together
Project. Classroom and teaching resources were developed, along with
information and tips on how to use focused assessment in the classroom.

|
Subtopics (if
applicable): An interactive
whiteboard system is comprised of many separate components from many
companies, but when integrated into a whole system, it becomes a powerful instructional tool in the
hands of a trained teacher.

Estimated Time
|
|
An interactive
whiteboard system is comprised of many separate components from many
companies, but when integrated into a whole system, it becomes a powerful instructional tool in the
hands of a trained teacher. The first section of this course will provide a
brief overview of different digital whiteboard systems and current research
of their effectiveness in the classroom.
|
This course will
introduce the transformative possibilities that interactive whiteboard
systems can have on our science curriculum.
|
Teachers who attend the training will share the gathered information
with the remaining staff

The last section will
show you how to integrate these skills into several science lessons which then you will apply this knowledge
to create a lesson of your own.
|
Designed for
elementary and secondary schools of any size, with adaptation and application
for community, social service, and faith community.
|
This
course features over 45 videos comprising over five hours of core video-based
training, allowing you to see a credentialed teacher/ certified trainer
actually using an interactive whiteboard system. The skills and their
integration into science instruction covered in this course are designed to
be transferable to any hardware or software platform.
