Elementary Science Leadership Team Meeting February 5, 2016 Jeff Ryan- Regional Science Coordinator Welcome, please sign in, help yourself to snacks and coffee

Here’s What!- So What?-Now What?: Addressing Three Common Myths About the NGSS Read the Common Myth that you have been given Identify the folks from the room that have your same Common Myth/ Group around a table/ Complete the Table Be ready to share out a quick synopsis of your three columns

Learning Intentions: Understand the Engineering Design Process as described in the WA Standards and the NGSS Understand the student expectations for the technological design process in Washington State Standards Understand application item types as assessed on the Measurement of Student Progress

What does Engineering Design look like for elementary students?

Engineering in the NGSS

What NGSS Says About What Students Should Know and Be Able to Do with Engineering Design… Examine the description of Engineering Design at your grade level in the following documents: Read Appendix I from the NGSS (focus on your grade band) Engineering, Technology and Application of Science (ETS) standards from the NGSS (review the standard pages for elementary engineering)

What NGSS Says About What Students Should Know and Be Able to Do… DefineDefine Develop Solutions OptimizeOptimize Share ideas from your readings and add student expectations onto the Engineering Design Placemat for your grade band

DefineDefine

Develop Solutions

OptimizeOptimize

How do the Washington expectations compare? Examine the application (APP) test and item specifications from the 2009 standards. Match these expectations with the NGSS Engineering Design Process steps.

Debrief What similarities do you recognize between the current assessed expectations and the NGSS engineering design process?

Evidence Statements Read Overview, Purpose, How Evidence Statements Can Be Used Walk and talk discussion: – Partner up with one other person – Walk and talk- outside for 10 min discussing… How could you use these in your practice?

What do the Evidence Statements Tell Us About Engineering Design in Elementary Grades? Explore a couple of evidence statements for the Performance Expectations related to Engineering in the elementary level – What further information does this provide? – How might you use this document to support instruction or assessment?
