Conference: Subject Area Institutes
Looking for a strand of biology-based professional development? Interested in exploring some ways to address the pedagogical shift of NYSSLS? Join us for the first Biology Institute which includes the Biology Breakfast!
Participants will walk through three research-based pedagogical strategies to complete 3-dimensional biology lessons.
Lessons will address the diverse needs of all students and will promote an equitable learning environment.
Participants will have the opportunity to collaborate to improve instruction,student achievement, and to begin building their own 3-D lessons.
Be Phenomenal in Your Units!
The institute will center around discussions and activities related to incorporating phenomena into instruction and unit planning. Each activity will include all three-dimensions of the NYSSLS. In addition, research-based strategies will be discussed for incorporating methods of formative assessment based on bundling performance expectations and creating learning progressions.
Anchoring and investigative phenomena will be introduced as a vehicle for developing coherent instructional units.
Multiple major topics in chemistry, including redox, equilibrium, and gases, will be used as examples.
