Draft Agenda

9:30am arrival and mingling

10am Welcome and program goal overview and personal goal development

10:30-11:15 Schoolyard Walk: To begin, we will ground ourselves in the space by walking in small groups to learn about how teachers use the space for instruction (highlighting the Maple Sugaring program), how students have taken up recent changes to the schoolyard infrastructure and acknowledging the history of the landscape (including a Land Acknowledgement of local Native American tribes). 

11:15-11:30am BREAK

11:30-12pm Implications for Teaching (Auditorium)

In small grade-level groups, we’ll discuss and debrief the implications of (insert topic, perhaps place-based learning) for learners and three-dimensional, Next Generation Science Standards aligned learning. 

12-12:30 Boxed Lunches and Networking

12:30-2 Hands on and Interactive Science Rotations 

In small groups we’ll spend 30 minutes participating in collecting data with the techniques and tools listed: 

  1.       Habitats
  2.       Water Quality 
  3.       Helpful Plants 

2:00-2:30 Research Spotlights

Scientists will share with us how data in biodiversity research is used to answer (and generate more) questions. 

2:30-3:30 Reflection and Setting Intentions

Develop next steps and action items to bring what you experienced today into your classroom! Work individually to reflect and then in district teams to set intentions for moving this work forward. 

3:30pm Evaluation & Adjourn

 

Meet the collaboration team! 

The KBS K-12 Partnership team and Comstock STEM teachers are working together to plan and lead this workshop!
