4. Graphic Organizers Six common patterns Descriptive Time sequence Process/Cause-Effect Episode Generalization/Principle Concept

5. Other methods� Pictures/Pictographs Mental Images Physical Representations Kinesthetic Representations

7. Learning Groups Hundreds of studies support the effectiveness of cooperative learning Research indicates that students who work in cooperative groups consistently outperform students who don�t

What if we were to ask parents their views on their children�s science learning? What if we asked administrators for their perspectives? What would we hear?
