INTRODUCTION TO LOCALIZING NATIONAL SCIENCE UNITS
Introduction to Localizing National Science Units
Are you teaching or supporting science units that were created for a national audience?
Have you been identifying local “related phenomena” with your students but wondering what else you could be doing to connect the unit to our region and your student’s communities?
Would you like some help in thinking about how to make the units meaningful and relevant for YOUR students?
IslandWood, has been working with teachers, the developers of Amplify Science, school district partners and Educational Service Districts on an approach to localizing national science units and we’d love to share it with you! Join us and your peers as we explore examples and think about what they could look like in the science you are teaching this Spring.
This FREE workshop is on Wednesday, March 6th from 4-5:30pm in Zoom. The session is worth up to 2 clock hours (1.5 STEM & .5 Equity) for those who also reflect on an asynchronous reading.
Participants will become familiar with an approach used to localize national curricula and take away research-based and equity centered tools, resources and approaches they can use in their own efforts to localize their curricula and create an inclusive classroom environment.
This is the same session we have presented at WSTA and NSTA conferences in 2023.
If you are teaching OpenSciEd units we suggest attending our Introduction to Localizing OpenSciEd for Middle School Teacher program instead of this one.
After completing this course, teachers will need to claim and pay for clock hours on PDEnroller.
