Science Teacher Virtual Session: A Tale Of Two Classrooms — What Should Science Education Look Like?
November 10, 2025 4:00 PM-5:30 PM
Virtual Registration Required - https://forms.fillout.com/t/eGfXMqJE19us?workshopid=recN0aaWZoT5v0kZR
What does high-quality science teaching really look like in action? In this interactive session, teachers will compare two contrasting classroom scenarios to uncover the key features of effective, student-centered science instruction.
Together, we’ll explore:
- How students engage with phenomena and make sense of the world through science and engineering practices.
- The differences between traditional, teacher-directed lessons and classrooms that foster curiosity, questioning, and evidence-based reasoning.
- What it means for instruction to be three-dimensional and aligned to today’s science standards.
Through video analysis and collaborative discussion, participants will build a shared vision of what powerful science learning looks and feels like—and identify strategies they can bring back to their own classrooms the next day.
Hope you can join us !
