EDU 230 - Michigan K-12 Science Standards

Credits: 1
Open to teachers, principals, and other K-12 school leaders in the Great Lakes Bay Region interested in becoming more familiar with the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). Three-Dimensional Learning, a fundamental pedagogical frame shift, demonstrated with particular emphasis on Developing and Using Models and Engaging in Argument from Evidence. Learn how to create phenomena-based lessons that follow the Performance Expectations of the NGSS.

Outcomes and Objectives
  1. Demonstrate an understanding of the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS).

    2. Demonstrate how phenomena-based teaching helps with the shift toward Three-Dimensional Learning.
    3. Identify the eight Science and Engineering Practices, the seven Cutting Concepts, and the Disciplinary Core Ideas found in the NGSS document.
  2. Design and develop lesson plans specific to NGSS.
    1. Identify one phenomenon that can be used to teach the practice of Modeling in the first three weeks of school.
    2. Develop a series of three (3) grade-level appropriate lesson plans that includes at least one Practice, one Cross Cutting Concept, and one Disciplinary Core Idea.
    3. Share the newly created lesson plans on the Delta College eLearning site and participate in an online discussion board.
