Introduction to Localizing National Science Units
Are you teaching or supporting science units this year using a national curriculum?
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, Olympic ESD, and Northwest ESD have been working with teachers, developers and school district partners on an approach to localizing national science units and we’d love to share it with you!
Join us for this FREE introductory workshop on Thursday, February 27th from 4-5:30pm on Zoom. The session is worth up to 2 clock hours (1.5 STEM & .5 Equity) for those who also reflect on an asynchronous reading.
Those who attend will have first priority to register for our free day-long in-person session where we will support you in applying the approach to a unit of your choice.
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.
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.
