  • - Explore-Before-Explain in Physical Science
    av Patrick Brown
    453,-

    "I designed Instructional Sequence Matters, Grades 9-12: Explore-Before-Explain in Physical Science primarily for high school teachers wanting to address new standards while ensuring their students leave success-ready. Instructional Sequence Matters is all about explore-before-explain teaching, which is not a prescribed program but a way of thinking more purposefully and carefully about the nature of how we design instruction. Explore-before-explain teaching acknowledges the critical role that explorations and explanations play in learning. By being strategic about the sequence of instructional activities, teachers can create greater conceptual coherence for students and promote long-lasting understanding. The book is also a useful resource for translating research into instructional practice. While there is often a gulf between educational research and direct classroom applications, explore-before-explain begins to fill that void. Thus, this book provides a useful resource for professional learning communities (PLCs) and serves as a guide for professional development workshops emphasizing research-based strategies for science teaching. The high school version of Instructional Sequence Matters retains the strong features of the companion books for grades 6-8 and 3-5. Among these features is an emphasis on the 5E (Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, and Evaluate) and POE (Predict, Observe, Explain) Instructional Models. In addition, throughout the text, the theme of reform-based teaching is stressed. Included are many examples of seamless translation of explore-before-explain teaching and the three dimensions of the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS Lead States 2013): (1) science and engineering practices, (2) disciplinary core ideas, and (3) crosscutting concepts. These standards are described and closely connected to every aspect of the model lessons illustrating key physical science topics. The model lessons in this book have been greatly expanded to provide a more expansive exploration of the physical science topics under study. Teachers will learn several strategies for engaging students in tackling engineering design problems (Chapter 7), using algebraic and mathematical reasoning (Chapters 8 and 9), reading technical texts (Chapter 9), developing their own inquiries called "next step" investigations (Chapter 9), and writing argumentative essays (Chapter 10). The model lessons illustrate that students need a different type of educational experience to be prepared for an evolving workforce landscape"--

  • - Strengthening Science and Engineering Learning
     
    756,-

    "If you've been trying to figure out how crosscutting concepts (CCCs) fit into three-dimensional learning, this in-depth resource will show you their usefulness across the sciences. Crosscutting Concepts: Strengthening Science and Engineering Learning is designed to help teachers at all grade levels (1) promote students' sensemaking and problem-solving abilities by integrating CCCs with science and engineering practices and disciplinary core ideas; (2) support connections across multiple disciplines and diverse contexts; and (3) use CCCs as a set of lenses through which students can learn about the world around them. The book is divided into the following four sections. Foundational issues that undergird crosscutting concepts. You'll see how CCCs can change your instruction, engage your students in science, and broaden access and inclusion for all students in the science classroom. An in-depth look at individual CCCs. You'll learn to use each CCC across disciplines, understand the challenges students face in learning CCCs, and adopt exemplary teaching strategies. Ways to use CCCs to strengthen how you teach key topics in science. These topics include the nature of matter, plant growth, and weather and climate, as well as engineering design. Ways that CCCs can enhance the work of science teaching. These topics include student assessment and teacher professional collaboration. Throughout the book, vignettes drawn from the authors' own classroom experiences will help you put theory into practice. Instructional Applications show how CCCs can strengthen your planning. Classroom Snapshots offer practical ways to use CCCs in discussions and lessons. No matter how you use this book to enrich your thinking, it will help you leverage the power of CCCs to strengthen students' science and engineering learning. As the book says, "CCCs can often provide deeper insight into phenomena and problems by providing complementary perspectives that both broaden and sharpen our view on the rapidly changing world that students will inherit.""--
