Some people would rather have two devices to switch between when testing (one for researching, one for testing). This is completely up to you! - A credit card ready to pay the exam fee with ($10). This exam fee will not be covered by Arch Ford, it is your responsibility to pay it if you choose to take the exam on day 2. - A quiet solitary place to test on the second half of day 2.

80 | Science | 6/10/2021 | 8:30-3:30 pm | 3D Science Lesson and Assessment Planning– Virtual Version (6 hours – Grasping Phenomenal Science) | Would you like time to practice developing science assessments and lesson plans with support? Assessments look different in the science classroom and need to be supported by high quality instruction that asks students to demonstrate progress toward three-dimensional standards. As all students develop proficiency in science, they need feedback from different kinds of assessments (formative, interim, diagnostic, and summative) to indicate how whole classrooms, schools, and districts are progressing. Participants will examine the requirements of science assessment tasks to elicit evidence of student understanding of the three dimensions. This professional development will support teachers to revise and create assessment tasks, use standards aligned scoring guides, develop instructional response plans and use some simple lesson plan templates to use in their classroom. This professional development is designed for teachers who are already familiar with the 3 dimensions of science teaching and learning. Participants will need access to a Google account and Zoom capabilities. *Additional classroom-based 6 hours of professional development credits will be available for practical application of the skills in your classroom. | Corey Adaire, Ben Carrigan, Sandra Roe | K-12 Science Teachers, Curriculum Coord, Administrators | 440323 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
