$500.00 – $800.00
This two-day professional development session focuses on the overarching question – How do we support all students in writing and drawing for sensemaking? 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:
- Reflect on their own students’ writing/drawing and potential barriers.
- Analyze lessons to understand the focus, role, and varied opportunities of writing and drawing for sensemaking in OpenSciEd.
- Analyze examples from OpenSciEd lessons that show the student resources and progression of student ideas and practices over time as demonstrated through their writing and drawing
- Consider how to use instructional strategies to support students for writing and drawing for sensemaking.
- Engage in the actual lessons of the unit as a student.
Immerse yourself in one of the .6 units (6.6 Cells & Systems, 7.6 Earth’s Resources & Human Impact, 8.6 Natural Selection & Common Ancestry) while discovering strategies and practices to support students in writing and drawing for sensemaking.
