Are you wanting to work together as a team collaborating in a deeper understanding of the Science Missouri Learning Expectations (MLEs) and how they relate to the Biology EOC assessment and instruction?
Join us as we take each Unit of Study (Structure & Function, Heredity, Evolution, and Ecology) and:

> Unpack the MLEs (identifying the objective(s) or I Can statement(s) as well as the skills and knowledge students need to know)
> Analyze the results of our Biology EOC assessment for strengths and challenges
> Revise our current unit of study assessment items to reflect alignment, rigor and structure of the new EOC assessment
> Implement unit of study assessments and debrief results
> Create unit assessment performance tasks
> Collaborate in the revision of lessons by utilizing the Continuing Science Instruction Playbook

Optional graduate credit is available

Join the Southwest Regional Science Collaborative Cohort! Discuss topics that matter to you. This is where Science teachers learn from each other. This is teacher-led PD with lesson/lab sharing, curriculum and assessment development, and instructional strategy/method sharing. Special speakers/guests may also attend occasionally as available. Additionally, DESE assessment and content updates/news will be provided as available. This will be an on-going group. The group will meet 3 times from January through March 2022. We hope you will join this regional group of dedicated Science teachers! Parking will be provided. Breakfast and lunch on your own.
