PLT: Making a Successful Transition to Standards-based Learning
Primary Team Goal: To design original phenomenon-driven units that target performance expectations in math and science through the pursuit of curiosity and reflective critical thinking. Professional Learning Teams (PLTs) differ slightly […]
Helping Students Give Kind and Useful Critical Feedback
One of the tools of student-centered teaching is the peer review process. In this technique, students gather in small groups and present their work to one another. The audience of […]
PLT: Fostering an Adventurous Exploration of Our World
Primary Team Goal: To build a strong repertoire of scientific experimentation and data analysis skills in students for mastery of performance-based assessments such as Internal Assessments (IAs) for IB, independent […]
PLT: What Will We Take Forward?
Primary Team Goal: To fearlessly redesign the broken aspects of traditional classroom education in response to a year filled with numerous faltering systems and the illumination of unbearable inequities. Professional […]

Developing and Using Models Part 1
In this workshop we will explore 2-dimensional modeling for use in Next Generation science and math courses. Whether it is a schematic diagram, a systems map, a simulation, a graph […]
Statistics for Teaching Science: Part 1 Measuring and Reporting Uncertainty
All measurements include some degree of uncertainty or error, but how it is reported is decided by the person collecting the data. Because analysis is dependent on the data collected, […]
Using Process Portfolios to Document Thinking and Learning
This 1.5 hr. workshop is dedicated to making thinking “visible” by documenting what influences a student’s thought process and by keeping track of the changes that occur when additional information […]
