Hi everyone - I'm happy to continue conversations, plase feel free to email me.
my email -
nmcaleer@sd62.bc.ca or
nancy.mcaleer@hotmail.comCome see easy-to-implement ways to give effective feedback on Inquiry skills, how to assess and evaluate inquiry for grading and how to effectively integrate First Peoples perspectives and interdisciplinary studies in meaningful ways. See how Core Competencies and Curricular competencies can be seamlessly addressed in a Science classroom while teaching content. Workshop contains sample activities, projects, materials and methods which could be easily used for grades 5-12 with adaptations by the teacher. Resources will be provided as take-aways or downloads. You may win a door prize!
Door prize given out (recommended for gr 3-8 but you could extend some activities a bit higher): 25 Quick Formative Assessments for a Differentiated Classroom (Scholastic) - available on Amazon as well as other sellers
Recommended book full of great stuff - not mentioned in session but my personal copy is dog eared and has tags all over it if that is any indication: First Nations Science & Ethnobotany Unit K-10 - available from www.strongnations.com - based on old curriculum but the content and approaches will still work well with the new curriculum - HIGHLY recommended
Also Douglas Llewellyn books: Inquire within (grades 3-8 implementing inquiry and argument based science), Differentiated Science Inquiry (exactly what it sounds like) and Teaching High School Science through Inquiry - all excellent.(all from Corwin and on Amazon)
Page Keeley: Science Formative Assessment (also from Corwin) - there are two newer volumes or an older edition.
