Diving into NGSS
Limited Capacity seats available
Participants will get access to an award-winning NGSS resources they can use in class this week: Mosa Mack Science's award-winning units are composed of three inquiry-lessons that progress upwards on Bloom's Taxonomy. 
Each unit begins with an animated mystery, followed by a hands-on lab and finally, culminates with an engineering challenge that enables students to apply what they've learned to solve real-world problems. Usage in various instructional models, including flipped, 5E, rotational and others will be discussed.

What's Your Evidence?
Limited Capacity seats available
During this session participants will learn how claim, evidence, and reasoning can easily be integrated across the curriculum to make the most of instructional time. Participants will participate in interactive experiences that illustrate how to implement CER with K-5 students. Tools covered will include free online resources to make learning come alive in the classroom (i.e. padlet, kahoot, GAFE, and more)! The learning and sharing continues beyond the session as we expand our professional learning networks through cloud-based networking.
