  7. STAAR Modified • Offered for 5, 8 and Biology • No STAAR Modified for Chemistry or Physics

  8. What’s the “correct” sequence?

  9. ENGAGE

  10. EXPLORE – BIOLOGY TEKS • §112.34. Biology, Beginning with School Year 2010-2011 (One Credit). (a) General requirements. Students shall be awarded one credit for successful completion of this course. Prerequisites: none. This course is recommended for students in Grade 9, 10, or 11.

  11. EXPLORE – CHEMISTRY TEKS §112.35. Chemistry, Beginning with School Year 2010-2011 (One Credit). (a) General requirements. Students shall be awarded one credit for successful completion of this course. Required prerequisites: one unit of high school science and Algebra I. Suggested prerequisite: completion of or concurrent enrollment in a second year of math. This course is recommended for students in Grade 10, 11, or 12.

  12. EXPLORE – PHYSICS TEKS §112.39. Physics, Beginning with School Year 2010-2011 (One Credit). (a) General requirements. Students shall be awarded one credit for successful completion of this course. Algebra I is suggested as a prerequisite or co-requisite. This course is recommended for students in Grade 9, 10, 11, or 12.

  13. CTE Considerations: For students entering 9th grade in 2013-2013. The additional credit may be selected from the CTE laboratory-based courses and may be taken after the successful completion of biology and chemistry and either after the successful completion of or concurrently with physics. §74.73 adopted to be effective May 30, 2012, 37 TexReg 3808

  14. EXPLAIN • Any “correct” sequence mandated by the TEKS?

  15. EXPLAIN Questions to consider when determining sequencing • What is the student’s math ability? • Is there a benefit of including IPC? • Is the course being taught at the level required by the TEKS?

  16. ELABORATE • Conversations with teachers • Is the course being taught at the level required by the TEKS?

  17. ELABORATE STAAR

  18. ELABORATE • Conversations with teachers • “You just want me to “water down” the course!” • “That’s not the way we’ve always done it!” • “Students aren’t going to be prepared for college!”

  19. Student Enrollment in High School Sciences in Texas Data from TEA website, PEIMS reports: http://ritter.tea.state.tx.us/adhocrpt/adfte.html

  20. EVALUATE • Analyze student needs • Facilitate TEKS study with teachers • Math and Science • Facilitate discussions with teachers about course sequencing • Recommendations of TEA • EOC reference materials • Released EOC questions

  21. CTE Science PD • Advanced Animal Science • Advanced Biotechnology • Advanced Plant and Soil Science • Engineering Design and Problem Solving • Food Science • Forensic Science Letter to the Administrator

  22. Project Share PD Available • Safety (High School and Elementary) • Chemistry EOC, Part 1 • Biology EOC • 5-8 Science Academy • K-12 TEKS Overview Additional list of courses available on the ESC Region XIII Instructional Technology Website

  23. Science Online Workshops Planning in Science: Integrating Process Skills in Content Standards Elementary: FA1224556 Secondary: FA1224917

  24. Satellite Hubs Do you have a science lab/facility that could be used for adult learners? Would you… • like to host a training in your district? • like to register one participant and get one free? Then please… • contact us about help bringing ESC Region XIII PD to you

  25. Diagnostic Questions • TMSDS is no longer available • TxAIR - Texas Achievement Item Repository • October 2012
