$500 – $800.00
This virtual two-day professional development session focuses on the overarching question – How do we support and assess students’ growth in 3 dimensional learning? It assumes the prerequisite completion of the Launch Professional Learning and previous experience teaching an OpenSciEd unit. Included in this session are opportunities for teachers to:

  • Analyze OpenSciEd Assessments using key criteria for 3D Assessments.
  • Identify and analyze the different types of assessments in the OpenSciEd assessment system.
  • Examine student work to provide feedback and support students’ 3D learning.
  • Use the assessment guidance to reflect on and prepare for lessons.
  • Engage in the actual lessons of the unit as a student.

Increase your understanding of the variety of assessments in OpenSciEd while digging into one of the .5 units (6.5 Natural Hazards, 7.5 Ecosystem Dynamics, 8.5 Genetics). Discover how the assessment system supports student growth and provides multiple ways for students to demonstrate their ability to reason with the three dimensions.
