Science Academies for Grades 5-8

Experience a total immersion into the new science 2010 TEKS for grades 5-8 during this three day professional development. Participants will explore hands-on, student-centered lessons framed in the research-based 5E instructional model. These sessions provide connections to and strengthen participants' knowledge of College and Career Readiness Standards (CCRS), English Language Proficiency Standards (ELPS), and Response to Intervention (RtI).

This workshop is a Core Professional Development (PD) Pathway. Core Workshops focus on high quality Tier 1 instruction and some Tier 2 intervention with supporting instructional strategies.

Sample lessons covering The Role of Enzymes, Energy and Matter in Ecosystems, Evidence for Evolution, and Energy and Matter Cells will be covered.
 
The registration fee for this training has been waived due to TEA funding through the TEKS PD grant. 
Registration will begin at 8:30 am and the sessions will begin promptly at 9:00 am each day (Unless noted otherwise). Due to requirements from TEA, attendance at these workshops is strictly monitored. You must be present the entire session, from 9:00 am – 4:00 pm, all days required, in order to receive full credit. If you cannot attend the full session, we suggest registering for another session at a time when you will be able to attend the entire workshop.

Stipends are no longer available for TEKS PD sessions.
