INTRODUCTION TO LOCALIZING OPENSCIED FOR SECONDARY SCHOOL TEACHERS
Are you teaching or supporting OpenSciEd Secondary units this year?
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 to 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 Monday, March 18th 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.
*Though described as being for middle school teachers in PDEnroller, this workshop has been broadened to include high school teachers.
IslandWood acknowledges that we live and work on the ancestral land of the Coast Salish people, who have been stewards of this region's land and waters since time immemorial, and who continue to protect these lands and waters for future generations, as promised by the Point Elliott Treaty of 1855, the Treaty of Point No Point of 1855, and the Treaty of Medicine Creek of 1854.
While the majority of our work takes place on Suquamish (suq̀ʷabš) and Duwamish (dxʷdɐwʔabʃ) land, we also conduct programs on the land of the Snohomish (sduhúbʃ), Puyallup (spuyaləpabš), Muckleshoot (buklshuhls), Skokomish (sqoqc’bes), and S’Klallam (nəxʷsƛ̕ay̕əm) peoples.
