Literacy Strategies Jan 25, 3:45-4:45 - Literacy can and must be taught throughout the day, not just in the literacy block. Science as a content area is a prime place to integrate all 4 components of literacy - reading, writing, speaking and listening. In the context of a few FOSS lessons, we will practice some strategies that you can use at your grade level in science or other content areas to simultaneously increase science and literacy comprehension.

Sense Making Feb 1, 3:45-4:45 - Whether teaching science face to face, virtually, synchronous, or asynchronously, the discussion or sense making portion is the most critical for deepening student understanding. Simply doing an activity and leaving the students to pull the parts together by themselves will not move their conceptual thinking forward. FOSS has embedded questions, a grade level specific guide to sense-making and a flow chart to support your work as a teacher in this critical venture. Come learn about these resources and practice some of the strategies in this session.

Formative Assessment Feb 8, 3:45-4:45 - Student science notebooks are a great window into student thinking. FOSS has developed a 10 minute protocol that research proved to increase science learning for students. By reviewing notebook entries, detecting patterns in student (mis)conceptions, those can quickly be addressed with a variety of next step strategies. Together we will review student work to learn and practice this protocol and look at at least one next step strategy.

Next Step Strategies Feb 22, 3:45-4:45 - The next step strategies are located in the assessment chapter with a brief description. Make them jump off the page for yourself by actually doing some of them yourself. That way you will have a clearer idea how each works and can better decide which to use in various situations. These strategies can be used for any subject, not just science.
