The STEM Teaching Tools website has some great briefs that I’ve seen at several NGSS workshops I’ve attended in the past bunch of years. I’ve even shared some in workshops I co-facilitate because they’re so cool so I thought I’d share the resource here.
Clicking on the PD Modules link in the menu shows some cool resources for teachers of Science but the section that I’ve actually dealt with is the Tools section. On that page, you’ll find 65 briefs with some great information for Science and STEM teachers. Looking through those you’re bound to find something helpful. The briefs that I’ve seen at workshops and that I’ve shared myself include the following:
Using Phenomena in NGSS-Designed Lessons and Units
Qualities of a Good Anchor Phenomenon for a Coherent Sequence of Science Lessons
Beyond the Written C-E-R: Supporting Classroom Argumentative Talk about Investigations
Steps to Designing a Three Dimensional Assessment
If you’ve used any of these, or if you’ve found any of these helpful, which ones have you used? Please share in the comments section.
