Developing a Framework for Science Reform and Adoption

How “filtering” shows up in our science stories, student experiences
Imagine Oregon Math Project cornerstones through a science lens
Consider two tools used for OMP-centered math adoption: do we want something similar for science?

Add to the Jamboard

When have you experienced filtering in your science story?

In what ways have you seen students experience filtering in their science lessons/courses?

Could this ODE metaphor help us think about needed science education reforms?

The current inequities and barriers our students experience in science programs

Our North Star:

Science education that functions as a powerful lever for every student

Define the “North Star” for yourself…

What feelings should every student have about science?
How should every student be able to use science?

Actualizing the “Pump” Metaphor

Oregon Math Project Cornerstones:

Could a similar framework help science education? What would it look like?

Cornerstone	Current Efforts in Math	Possible Science Applications Edit, refine, make additions
	Clarity about what we are teaching and why (K-12 alignment, priority work, actual standards vs. assumed course content, meaningful assessment)	NGSS learning and application, updating courses to match standards, learning priorities, assessment practices that support deep understanding and growth
	Real world, modern, and meaningful math (K-12 data reasoning, modeling problems, complex instruction, tech integration)	Lessons and pedagogies that center student interests, agency, and put them in the role of scientist
	Courses help students meet their goals, are heterogeneously enrolled, college/career aligned (2+1, detracking, higher ed alignment)	HS course offerings that align with student goals/college and career prep, equitable course enrollment, opportunities for all
	All students feel valued, seen, and supported (building/maintaining positive math identities, SEL in math, culturally relevant lessons)	Place-based/community-based inquiry, asset-based approaches, SEL in science, positive science identities

Breakout Rooms: Share your ideas for science applications!

Open the Cornerstone Padlet
Join a Cornerstone-themed breakout room
Add ideas for needed areas of work/learning/collaboration in your cornerstone section

In case it’s helpful: Science Adoption Needs Padlet from April OSL Meeting

Preview: Math Adoption Tools we could adapt for Science…

Math Visioning Process: District Tool for Planning and Implementing Equity-Centered Math Reforms

Super drafty science version of the same process

Math Visioning Process: Resources for Deeper Learning

Yes? No? Need more info?

Could explore more at June OSL meeting, could offer OSL monthly workshops/meet-ups to implement and support this kind of work
