A Virtual Professional Learning Opportunity for Grades 3-5 Educators

Enhance your teaching strategies for integrating science and literacy in ways that foster critical thinking, academic language, and meaning making! Learn from the Wade Institute for Science Education and the EcoTarium how to shift your practice to teach your standards-aligned, grade-specific science content by using literature to spark minds-on, hands-on investigations that engage students in the Science and Engineering Practices. Identify ways to use books, productive talk, and science writing to teach science and participate in inquiry-based, phenomena-based investigations that explore engineering and life science topics through the lens of animal behavior. Connect your reading to real life and refine your scientific observation skills by examining the uniqueness of squirrels: the rodent you thought you knew. Return to your classroom with ideas and insights from peers along with a toolkit of 4 books and hands-on materials to immerse your students in science learning.
