Planning for STEM with SMPs and SEPs
Session Format
Presentation Session (45 minutes)
Target Audience
K12 Educators
Abstract for the conference program
Math, science, and technology teachers are often faced with planning for STEM lessons and units without a shared vision or vocabulary of content and pedagogy. One solution is to begin the planning stages with a shared discussion of the Standards for Mathematical Practice and the Next Generation Science and Engineering Practices as a guide. This interactive session with give background on the standards in their respective discipline as well as completing activities to compare and contrast the standards as they apply to K-12 classrooms. Several techniques for setting shared expectations of communication and data collection across math, science, and technology disciplines will also be shared through active learning sessions. This interactive session will prepare teachers to discuss common elements of instruction as well as how to take the practices back to a PLC or school to engage one's peers.
