  1. Partnering to ProgressK-5 Science Alliance August 31, 2010 Blue Licks State Park Come on In! Please help yourself to some refreshments and make sure you have signed in.

  2. Group Norms • Start and end on time • Put cell phones on silent • Be respectful of all comments • Everyone participates • Exercise the rule of “two feet” • Come prepared for each meeting • Keep side conversations to a minimum

  3. Roadmap for Today Science Literacy Standards Housekeeping PoM Student Tests Combined Teacher Test Science Framework & Progressions

  4. Housekeeping • Kit Maintenance • Who? • Replacement? Cost? Budget? • SharePoint Access • http://www.uky.edu/P12MathScience/ • Implementation—September Mtg • What needs to be done?

  5. 07-08 Archives Force and Motion 08-09 Archives Properties of Matter

  6. Housekeeping • Kit Maintenance • Who? • Replacement? Cost? Budget? • SharePoint Access • http://www.uky.edu/P12MathScience/ • Implementation—September Mtg • What needs to be done? • Student Post Tests • Teacher Surveys (mentees)

  7. Combo Teacher Test • Combination of FnM and PoM content. • Please list the last 4 digits of social and the grade you are currently teaching. • Please—no talking during test—when finished, you can take a break.

  8. ORQ Scoring

  9. Guidelines for Today • We will be working in 3 groups grading 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade ORQs. • Before grading, write the answer to each question you’ve been assigned. This will help you to trouble shoot the question. • As a group, develop a scoring guide. • Begin grading. • Transfer scores to student roster.

  10. Scoring Guide Rules of Thumb • 4—All parts correct; insightful and/or elaborated descriptions/explanations (not necessarily extensions) • 3—All parts correct • 2—something has to be correct in every part of the question (A, B, C)—this is not a 50-50 determination • 1—something has to be correct • 0—Nothing is correct

  11. Framework and Progressions • Skim over the introduction. • List the 3 ways the framework is moving to a more coherent vision. How is this similar & different to what we are currently doing? • There are 5 principles for this framework. Please read your assigned principle, summarize, and be ready to share whole group. • Children are Born Investigators—KDG • Understanding Develops Over Time--1st and 5th • Science is More than a Body of Knowledge—2nd • Connecting to Students’ Interests & Experiences—3rd • Promoting Equity—4th

  12. Framework and Progressions • Structure: • Disciplinary Ideas • Physical, Life, Earth/Space, Engineering/Technology • Cross-Cutting Elements • Implications across all domains • Scientific • Science, Engineering, Technology & Society • Practices • Please read Dimension 3: Practices on page 6…How is practice different from skill?

  13. The role of science education is not to teach all the facts, but rather to prepare students with enough core knowledge, and to develop their ability to interpret claims and evidence so that they can be informed consumers of information….From the Science Standards Framework

  14. Learning Progressions • What does this mean for each individual grade? • What are some things to consider? • How have our P2P units met this model?

  15. Science Literacy Standards • Embedded grades K-5 • 3 types of writing: • Argument • Explanatory • Informative

  16. Let’s Take a Closer Look • Read over the Anchor Standards for Reading and Writing for grades K-5. • What does this look like for writing an argument in science? • Examine the K-8 standards for writing an argument. • Use the organizer to note the differences as you progress through the grade levels.

  17. Helping Students to Write Scientifically • Students have to be explicitly taught to write in this way. • What tools do we have available to help us do this? • Where in our units would writing an argument naturally fit?

  18. Roadmap for Today Science Literacy Standards Housekeeping PoM Student Tests Combined Teacher Test Science Framework & Progressions

  19. For September 30 • Bring student POST PoM tests to score. • Please have reporting form filled out prior (less the ORQ score). • We will be having a celebration!
