Become a Next Generation Science Teacher: Student-Centered Classrooms
This course will increase your capacity to implement instructional routines that promote deeper learning and foster a classroom of active, engaged doers of science! We'll explore key elements of student-centered learning experiences and routines that increase student agency. You will also be introduced to a variety of materials that can increase your knowledge of the theory and practice of student-centered classrooms. Lastly, you will dig into the why, what, and how of student-centered instruction and discover how it creates a more rigorous and inclusive learning environment for all students.
Engaging Students in Citizen Science
There is so much to discover in our natural world — too much for scientists to handle alone! To maximize efforts, scientists often recruit citizen scientists to help. A citizen scientist is a member of the general public or an amateur scientist. While issues with data validity and collection standardization can arise, much of the natural world would go unobserved without citizen scientists. Join us to learn about citizen science and how you can use it in your classroom to provide authenticity in projects, plus learn some tips for keeping your collections valid!
