March 22 - Process Skills in the Middle School Science Classroom
What do science process skills look like when integrated with content? As scientists, students must use critical thinking and problem solving skills. They must use evidence from classroom investigations to formulate valid conclusions. Join us as we explore the process skills specified in the TEKS and how to incorporate them into your classroom on a daily basis.
April 13 - STAAR Ready: 8th Grade Science
The 8th Grade Science STAAR is almost here. This session will cover the latest STAAR information from TEA and strategies to review and help prepare students to earn their best possible score. Participants will collaborate to build a review website (no prior experience needed) and discuss best practices for using the tool to review.
April 24 - Interactive Word Walls in Middle School Science
Interactive words walls are used to help students make meaning of vocabulary. This is a strategy that incorporates various learning styles and is easily adapted for any grade level. Teachers will construct word walls and use the wall to summarize learning by writing and drawing diagrams and graphic organizers.
