Essential Skills are foundational skills that all students need for success in college, the workplace, and in their communities

The Essential Skills are:■ Read and comprehend a variety of text■ Write clearly and accurately■ Apply mathematics in a variety of settings■ Listen actively and speak clearly and coherently■ Think critically and analytically ■ Use technology to learn, live, and work■ Demonstrate civic and community engagement■ Demonstrate global literacy■ Demonstrate personal management and

teamwork skills

3 Science Credits Inquiry-based - opportunity to apply

scientific reasoning and critical thinking

Lab Experiences -may be field-based

Courses/credits aligned to content standards

Credit may be earned through applied academics

CCSS Mathematical Practices

Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.

Reason abstractly and quantitatively. Construct viable arguments and critique

the reasoning of others. Model with mathematics. Use appropriate tools strategically. Attend to precision.

Connections

The following elements of effective instruction are derived largely from the learning theory described in the National Research Council’s volumes How People Learn (2003) and How Students Learn: Science in the Classroom (2005).

Center on Instruction and Horizon Research, Inc.(2008)

15

Motivation Elicit Prior Knowledge Intellectual Engagement Use of Evidence Sense-Making

16

Students must have a desire to learn Instruction needs to “hook” students Extrinsic Motivators

› deadlines for research projects, classroom competitions, and tests and quizzes affecting students’ grades

Intrinsic Motivators› usually stem from intellectual curiosity

and a desire to learn.

17

Students come to school with ideas and real-life experiences.

These ideas may either facilitate or impede their learning of important ideas.

Instruction is most effective when it elicits students’ initial ideas, provides them with opportunities to confront those ideas, helps them formulate new ideas based on evidence, and encourages them to reflect upon how their ideas have evolved.

18

Engage students intellectually with important content focused on the learning goal› Can be through a hands-on experience› Can be through an interactive lecture

(Socratic discussion)

“If I were a student in this class, what would I be thinking about?”

19

Science is a process by which knowledge is constructed, NOT as a collection of facts.

Students should use valid evidence to support and critique conclusions. Discrepancies or conflicting data need to be resolved.

Students are less likely to revert to their prior incorrect ideas if they are familiar with the evidence that confronts those ideas and supports the scientific consensus.

20

Effective instruction requires opportunities for students to make sense of the ideas with which they have been engaged:Making connections between what they did in a lesson and what they were intended to learn.Connecting the new ideas to knowledge that students already have, placing the lesson’s learning goals in a larger framework and helping students organize their knowledge.
