CANCELED - Reading, Thinking, and Writing in the 6-12 Science Classroom
This session has been canceled. Please check with the workshop contact for more details or reschedule options.

"Have you ever been frustrated by how quickly students seem to forget what you’ve taught them? Or by their struggles to use what they’ve learned in one context in a new, but related context? When we intentionally help students build schema, we can solve both problems.” -Julie Stern, 2021

In this interactive workshop, we will explore literacy strategies through a science lens to support students build their schema and increase their capacity to think like a scientist. Participants will learn a science literacy routine that will support students to:

  • Access prior knowledge  and build comprehension of science concepts and skills

  • Utilize writing to process thinking and apply learning during labs
