The Immersion Experience: Understanding 3-Dimensional Learning from the Inside Out
January 26, 2026 on Zoom, 9:00 am - 10:30 am
Register @ https://forms.fillout.com/t/eGfXMqJE19us?workshopid=recknT1xjKf2tXH96
In this session, administrators will experience a 3-dimensional, NGSS-aligned inquiry just as students and teachers do. By stepping into the learner role, leaders will gain firsthand insight into how phenomena-driven instruction, the Science and Engineering Practices, and the Crosscutting Concepts work together to deepen understanding. This immersive approach helps administrators clearly identify what high-quality 3D learning looks, sounds, and feels like in K–12 classrooms. Participants will leave with an enhanced instructional lens and practical look-fors to support consistent, equitable implementation across classrooms and schools.
This session supported by funds from the Illinois State Board of Education.
