How likely are you to borrow a set of CSCS laptops during the 2013-14 school year if CSUN could provide them?
How likely are you to attend at least 6 Saturday follow-up sessions during the 2013-14 school year if CSUN offered them?
How likely are you to participate in monthly/weekly google hangouts with teachers and CSCS faculty to discuss implementation issues?
How likely are you to coordinate one to three observations of your classroom with the CSCS team during the 2013-14 school year?
How likely are you to submit artifacts (links to lesson plans and student work) from your CSCS lessons at least three times during the 2013-14 school year?
How likely are you to come back next summer and do this again if the opportunity is available?
How likely are you to collaborate with other teachers at your school site to implement CSCS lessons during the 2103-14 school year?
Clear selection
What difficulties do you anticipate using CSCS technology tools in your 2014-15 classroom?
After your experiences this summer or previously, what difficulties or concerns do you have about implementing CSCS in your own classroom? Are any CSCS tools more problematic than others?
What additional supports or resources will be most helpful for improving your ability to implement the CSCS technology tools in your classrooms?
In particular, how can the CSCS team help?
Describe the technology you anticipate to have available in your classroom.
How many computers will you have available for student use? Enough for a class set (at least one computer per three students)? Do NOT include laptops provided by CSCS, rather what is available through your school site. What is the likely quality of your internet connection?
Final Thinking About Your Teaching
What are the most important keys to good science teaching?
Particularly consider how your experiences over the past two weeks may have influenced your thinking about good science teaching
What do you think are the most important ideas or concepts for students to understand about the nature of scientific discovery and accumulation of scientific knowledge?
Particularly consider how your experiences over the past two weeks may have influenced your thinking about the "nature of science"
Discuss potential advantages of CSCS technology tools for your science planning and teaching.
Please provide any feedback about the research associated with CSCS.
This could include suggestions for making the research less burdensome or more valid, questions you might have about the research, or even something your learned or liked about it.
For Veterans Only
