ISBE is partnering with SIU and NSTA to offer science professional
learning for Illinois educators at NO COST.
Do you want to design an engaging, three-dimensional assessment that you can use in your classroom that is connected to your instructional materials and coherent from the perspective of your students?
Join the NTSA presenters and work together to redesign a classroom assessment task you can try out with your students using the new NGSS Task Design Workbook and an assessment task you bring with you or select from a curated list of openly available examples. Using lessons learned from over 10 years of NGSS assessment design, the presenters will highlight key elements of 3D assessment design. These high-leverage elements of task development will prepare you to adapt and design assessment tasks that center your students and engage them in using the 3Ds for sensemaking.
You will work to answer questions that drive task design such as:
-
What does it mean to engage students in 3D?sensemaking??
-
What types of?phenomena?are meaningful and engaging to students??
-
How do we?problematize?phenomena to engage students in figuring out??
-
How do we know if students are using the 3Ds in?grade-appropriate?ways?
-
How do we design our tasks to be?accessible?and engaging to all students?
During the topic study, participants have access to:
-
A moderated private forum for group discussions with other topic study participants
-
Digital resources and all NSTA online community tools (My Library, My Profile, Community Forums)
-
All archive versions of the web seminars to watch on-demand.
Participants will receive a certificate from NSTA after each live web seminar for (1) attending the live program and for (2) completing the post-program survey, and (3) Professional Learning Credit Hours also available for those attending the live zoom sessions.
The four live web seminars are scheduled from?7:00 to 8:30 PM EST, February 21, February 28, March 6, and March 13, 2024
