  6. Goals of LIFT OFF INCREASEteachers use of inquiry throughout the curriculum and not as an “add-on” IMPROVEscience content knowledge DEVELOPpeer-reviewed interdisciplinary lessons & projects BUILD professional learning communities PROMOTE instructional leadership

  7. Key Features of LIFT OFF Projects • Science Inquiry & Thinking • 21st Century Skills • Integrate literacy development strategies

  8. Instructional Case Criteria • Has clear learning goals and objectives related to state standards • Includes explicit literacy strategies presented during institute • Includes both formative and summative assessments. • Uses the 5E Lesson Design • Includes at least 4 lessons and a project

Products • Instructional Case -- Inquiry-Based Science Lessons and Project:Teachers working as a team will collaboratively develop and implement at least 5 peer-reviewed lessons as part of an inquiry-based project related to their essential question or problem. Lessons must address key criteria of the instructional case. • Peer Review: Lessons will be peer reviewed using tuning protocols and modified lesson study. This will happen during institute and during four follow up days during the year. • Sharing and Publishing:Teachers will complete the Backwards Mapping Template including all lessons and ancillary materials in an electronic portfolio. Teachers will complete a professional poster of their instructional case. • Leadership:Teachers will work as instructional leaders with other teachers to help share and implement projects in other classrooms and throughout their school and district.
