Elementary Back-to-School PD
Wednesday, Aug 28th 8:30 - 3:30
Science and Math
Many of you have been patiently waiting for training on the Next General of Science Standards (NGSS). The day has arrived! The morning session will be facilitated by Mike Klein, Science Consultant from MISD. This is an introduction to the standards, to help understanding of the shift in thinking required. Through the training, you will begin to think about how the lessons and standards you are already teaching can be approached through this inquiry driven model. The adoption of a STEAM "special", as well as the decision to use Project Lead The Way units as a curriculum resource, will support the engineering and design thinking necessary in NGSS.
After a lunch break (on your own for lunch. Feel free to bring your lunch or go to a local restaurant), district grade level teacher leaders will present an overview of the work done this summer taking grade level prioritized math standards and creating units of study. After the introduction, teachers will break into grade level, cross-building teams for a more in-depth look at the units, including a plan for implementation.
