ASK QUESTIONS & SEEK SOLUTIONS
Learn science and engineering practices in tandem. Science knowledge grows with innovation and discovery.Engineering skills applied in the context of scientific understanding.

MAKE CONNECTIONS
Students become scientifically literate when they build their own wisdom from the connections they make when engaged in STEM. Our job is to guide and facilitate. Help them with the enduring understandings.

AT THE CORE OF ALL NEW STANDARDS….
• reasoning with evidence
• building arguments & critiquing arguments of others
• participating in reasoning-oriented practices with others.

TEACHERS WILL NEED TO HELP ALL STUDENTS
• externalize their thinking
• listen carefully to one another and take one another seriously
• dig deeper into data and evidence
• work with the reasoning of others

Systems thinking utilizes habits, tools and concepts…
to develop an understanding of the interdependent
structures of dynamic systems.
When individuals have a better understanding of systems, ….
they are better able to identify the leverage points
that lead to desired outcomes.

“Teachers are indeed role models. We inspire. We teach by example. And we manifest for our students what it means to be
a thinker and a learner. Working with our colleagues, we provide an intellectual life into which our students may grow. “

UTILIZE TECHNOLOGY• Did the assignment build capacity for critical
thinking on the web?
• Did the assignment develop new lines of inquiry?
• Are there opportunities for students to make their thinking visible?
• Are there opportunities to broaden the perspective of the conversation with authentic audiences from around the world?
• Is there an opportunity for students to create a contribution (purposeful work)?
• Does the assignment demo “best in the world” examples of content and skill?

EVALUATIONFormative
Formative assessment, also called assessment for learning, takes place during instruction. It enables instructors to identify necessary
adjustments while teaching and learning are in progress.
• Conferencing
• Discussions
• Probes
• Rubrics
• Questions
• Individual White Boards
• Plickers*
• Exit Slips
• Four Corners
• Science/Engineering Journal
Summative
Summative assessment, also known as assessment of learning, takes place at the end of an instructional unit, quarter, semester or
year. It is the culminating evaluation of a teaching and learning progression in which a
student has had multiple opportunities to hone and build on knowledge, skills and assignments.

“You think that because you understand “one” that you must therefore understand “two” because one and one make two. But
you forget that you must also understand “and.”
