Upcoming Middle School Sessions
Region 7 Education Service Center
May 5th - Formative Assessment in Secondary Science
How do you know what your students know? Explore the use of formative assessments to inform teacher planning and instruction, to guide student learning, and to target interventions. Take a closer look at how to develop formative assessments and rubrics that are meaningful and lead to more focused teaching and learning.
May 8th - Using the Digitarium Alpha 2 Planetarium in K-12 Science
May 17th - Vocabulary Strategies in the Secondary Science Classroom (6-12)
June 5 - Middle School Science- Matter and Energy
Matter and Energy can be difficult concepts for not only students but teachers as well. In this session for grades 6-8 teachers, we will learn ways to build on prior knowledge while confronting misconceptions.
June 15 - Middle School Science-Earth and Space
The study of space is not only massive but can be overwhelming. What vocabulary words do you address? How deep do you go? What are activities that address the standards? These are a few of the questions we will address for grades 6-8 in this session.
June 21 - Middle School Science- Organisms and the Environment
In this session, participants will address Category 4, organisms and their environment, from grades 6-8. We will breakdown the TEKS and look at data and released items. Teachers will also engage in activities that address those standards and promote critical thinking.
