Teaching Science with NGSS X

Audience: 6-12 Science Teachers, Curriculum Specialists, Instructional Coaches, and Administrators.

Summary:
This workshop is designed to support secondary science teachers in acquiring the knowledge, skills, and resources for developing and facilitating engineering projects that are both motivational and academically rigorous.  

By combining science content with engineering, students engage in practices that help them understand the distinctions and connections between scientific inquiry and engineering design.  Workshop participants will both experience and develop activities that incorporate the NGSS Engineering Design Process without sacrificing content.  Together we will explore how to add elements of engineering to your classes by highlighting the four phases of the design process, emphasizing key vocabulary, implementing process-focused assessments, and creating authentic products.  

We hope that all teachers will leave the workshop with an understanding of how to effectively highlight and extend their current curriculum to emphasize and cultivate the principles of engineering design.
