  5. We Remember: • 20% of what we hear • 50% of what we see and hear • 70% of what we see, hear, and do • 90% of what we see, hear, do, and tell about as we are doing it

  6. What does this knowledge say to you about your role as a learner? As a facilitator of someone’s learning? BRIEF DISCUSSION

  7. Summary of Science PD Needs Assessment Received • Inquiry-based labs for each objective • Unpacking the NC SCOS • Discrepant Events/Demo Labs • Looking at the curriculum from a STEM approach • Problem-based Learning • Inquiry-based Learning • Using the Atlas of Scientific Literacy to plan for instruction • Diagnosing misconceptions • Detecting gaps in learning and understanding

  8. Summary of Science PD Needs Assessment Received • Best Practices • Support for transition from the current NC SCOS to the Essential Standards • Materials to help keep students engaged • Materials to help teachers differentiate instruction • Culturally-responsive teaching • Physical Science – Energy – Goal 3 • 8th Grade Science – Chemistry – Goal 4 • Biology – Organic Molecules/Compounds – Goal 2 • Biology – Goal 3 • 8th Grade Science – Hydrology – Goal 3

  9. Summary of Mathematics PD Needs Assessment Received • Unpacking the Common Core State Standards for mathematics • Integrating technology using SMART board and other systems • Real-world application activities • Looking at the curriculum from a STEM approach • Support for transition from current NC SCOS to Common Core State Standards • Materials to keep students engaged • Materials to help teachers differentiate instruction • TI-83/84 Plus Calculator workshop • Diagnosing misconceptions

  10. Summary of Additional Comments Received • Teachers are more likely to attend sessions that they can readily apply in the classroom. • We should also build in a follow-up process to see what translates to the classroom. • CRT – How culture can affect teaching and learning in science • Developing the “right” open-ended inquiry questions.

  12. Focus of Professional Development from the MSEC • In mathematics, the NCTM Process Standards will be the research-base and focus of everything offered. • In mathematics, the Common Core State Standards will provide the direction with support from our colleagues at NC DPI. • In science, NSTA standards and inquiry will be research-base and focus for everything offered. • In science, the Essential Standards will provide the direction with support from our colleagues at NC DPI.

  13. Focus of Professional Development from the MSEC • For pre-service and practicing mathematics and science teachers, the message will be clear that tapping into the critical-thinking and problem-solver in all students is the key to sustained learning and understanding of the content. • For supporters of mathematics and science educators, a consistent search for student engagement in classes is the key to facilitate that kind of instruction. • For parents, supporting and encouraging the problem-solver and critical-thinker in every child will ensure that we receive learners ready to do just that…LEARN!

  14. Dates of Future PD Offerings • November 19-20, 2010 • February 18-19, 2011 • March 18-19, 2011 • April 8-9, 2011
