1. Welcome to The Science Education Program

2. Presentation for Toolkit Rollout, February 20032 Presentation Overview Setting the context Guiding the use Introducing the tools Using the tools in a standards implementation process Making personal meaning

3. Setting the Context Connecting the Plenary Session to This Concurrent Session on Science Education

4. Presentation for Toolkit Rollout, February 20034 Setting the Context NCLB: All schools show AYP Tools fulfill need from the field Content Standards and Benchmarks Grade Level PI Scope and Sequence Instructional Guide

5. Presentation for Toolkit Rollout, February 20035 Setting the Context Integration Maintain integrity Natural integration points as driver Backward mapping Handout, modified from WestEd Standards-based Start with end in mind

6. Caveat emptor Guidelines for Use

7. Presentation for Toolkit Rollout, February 20037 Guidelines for Use Not a Curriculum Written to address needs by some If understood, move on

8. Presentation for Toolkit Rollout, February 20038 Guidelines for Use IG not comprehensive, not inclusive Tools to start conversation Student Work

9.

10. Introduction to the Tools Grade Level Performance Indicators (aka Performance Indicator Progression) Science K-12 Scope and Sequence Instructional Guide Curriculum Framework for Science

11. Presentation for Toolkit Rollout, February 200311 GLPI: Closer Look at Domain II, #3 Malama I Ka Aina

12. Presentation for Toolkit Rollout, February 200312 GLPI: Closer Look at Domain II, #3 Malama I Ka Aina Two parts Sustaining Food Supply Conservation of Resources Where are GLPI’s Found? Where Not Found?

13. Presentation for Toolkit Rollout, February 200313 Grade Level/Course Performance Indicators K-8 is listed by GLPI High School by Courses Middle School Course of Study 6 th Grade: Physical Sciences Focus 7 th Grade: Biological Sciences Focus 8 th Grade: Earth Systems/Space/EE

14. Presentation for Toolkit Rollout, February 200314 Safety Considerations, Gr. 6 Conduct activities for which: You understand the content and pedagogy You have appropriate facilities There are safety equipment and personal safety equipment.

15. Presentation for Toolkit Rollout, February 200315 K-12 Scope and Sequence Multiple Pathways Idea #1/FOSS and AAAS’ Project 2061 Idea #2/STC and AAAS’ Project 2061

16. Presentation for Toolkit Rollout, February 200316 K-12 Scope and Sequence Multiple Pathways, continued Idea #3/NCEE and AAAS’ Project 2061 Three important ideas per discipline

17. Presentation for Toolkit Rollout, February 200317 K-12 Scope and Sequence Domain I cuts across all science disciplines Critical Thinking and Inquiry Scientific Inquiry Safety Unifying Themes Problem Solving/Environmental Issues

18. Presentation for Toolkit Rollout, February 200318 “Conduct the Assessment” Small group work Examine Grade 3 student work for evidence of performance indicators Write Commentary

19. Presentation for Toolkit Rollout, February 200319 “How Good is Good Enough?” Continue in small groups Write “performance criteria” for clusters of performance indicators. Describe the “task” which generated the student work.

20. Presentation for Toolkit Rollout, February 200320 “Performance Standard” ALL MET EXCEEDS MEETS NOT MET EMERGING LITTLE/NO EVIDENCE 4 3 21

21. Presentation for Toolkit Rollout, February 200321 “How Good is Good Enough?” Develop 4 point Rubric for the Task 4 = Exceeds standard 3 = Meets standard 2 = Not Met; Emerging 1 = Not Met; Little or no evidence

22. Presentation for Toolkit Rollout, February 200322 “Feedback and Feedforward” Suggest ways for student to improve on work Suggest ways for teacher to modify instruction
