This workshop is inspired by Karen Gallas' work and the expanding definition of literacy. Science literacy requires the use of specific content, skills, processes, and the "talk" of the discipline. Science Talks create a space for us to listen in on children's ideas, explanations, and theories about big ideas in science. As a participant, you will learn how to bring Science Talks to your classroom to:
• surface and assess student understanding of ideas
• discuss how students build theories during collaborative discussions
• identify, challenge, and change students' misconceptions
• invite students to participate in the discourse of science
• gather data and respond with NYSSLS- aligned curriculum
• realize the importance of surfacing children's questions and prior knowledge
• examine the dual role of the teacher as both observer and facilitator
This program may be used to meet 5.5 hours toward CTLE requirements. CTLE ID # 322. Check with your district for eligibility.
