Science 21 continues its mission to actively engage students with authentic science and engineering practices through hands-on and minds-on investigations in the classroom. Knowing that the ELS assesses students using online tools including but not limited to text boxes for constructed response items and drawing tools for constructing models, we are promoting an Enhanced version.

Teachers receive ongoing technical support on: creating and/or importing classes from Google Classroom; adding students; creating and viewing assignments (switching between teacher and student view); helping students submit completed assignments; grading notifications; reassigning student work for resubmission; exporting grades; strategically incorporating SAQs; and other technology needs that arise.

Teachers will pilot the STEM Sims platform throughout the 25-26 school year and will earn 4 CTLE credits for completing four feedback sessions. All sessions will be held virtually on Zoom from 3:30-4:30pm.

Space is limited to the first 50 Science 21 GRADE 3 teachers who register.

Are your students overly dependent on paraeducators and other adults? Do you want to empower your students to participate more independently with their peers in school activities? Join this workshop to rethink your team's approach to student support with concrete tools and turnkey strategies.

We'll begin by exploring the impact of excessive paraeducator reliance on academic progress, inclusion, and peer interaction. Participants will learn six key strategies to reduce adult dependence: presuming competence, inclusion in general education, increased wait time, voice through choice, prompt fading, and participation in chores and ADLs. Case vignettes and videos will illustrate how each strategy can be implemented by any team member. Participants will also learn to use a hierarchy table to establish a common language for fading assistance. The group will receive a concise Fading Adult Assistance Slide Deck for immediate use during your school in-services.

The afternoon will focus on video modeling as a powerful intervention for promoting independence. Participants will learn the science and evidence behind video modeling and walk through each step-from selecting a target skill and analyzing the task to choosing the appropriate video type and ensuring safe sharing and playback. The session includes hands-on practice using a tablet or phone to record and edit videos, so please bring a device to class.
