  1. T2L PD : Science Journaling October 21, 2015

  2. Science Practices and Science Journals Scientific Practices Science Journal Components Questions, problem , purpose Prediction Develop and plan Observations/data/charts/ graphs… Claims & evidence Drawing conclusions Reflection • Ask questions and define problems • Plans and carry out investigations • Develop and use models • Argument from evidence • Analyze and interpret data • Construct explanations • Use mathematical thinking • Obtain, evaluate and communicate information

  3. Activity #1: Analyzing SJ Use Purpose: Explore the variety of journal use Clarify components of SJ through examples Tasks: • Tally up the entry components (#4) represented thus far for your own journal assignments • Create a master tally for your group • Each group member share one assignment/entry and the components you think it represents: Discuss -- Do your tablemates agree?

  4. Activity #2: Planning Use of SJ Purpose: Plan additional uses of SJ • As a grade level team, select an upcoming lesson to work on • Identify any use of science journal already suggested in the lesson • What component(s) does it address? • Discuss and develop two other potential uses of the SJ before, during, or after the lesson that address DIFFERENT SJ components. • If appropriate develop supports that some students may need to successfully complete the journal assignment • You will have 20 minutes. If you finish early, so the same with the next lesson.

  5. Research on Feedback “Academic feedback is more strongly and consistently related to achievement than any other teaching behavior” • Bellon, Bellon & Blank, 1977 “The most powerful single modification that enhances achievement is feedback.” - Hallie, 2006

  6. Pre-Conditions for Effective Feedback • Clear goals/objectives • Appropriate tasks • Clear criteria for success • Teacher belief that ALL students can meet the bar with appropriate support Saphier et al , Skillful Teacher, 2008

  7. Activity #3 – Criteria for SJ Entries Purpose: Develop a list of grade-level appropriate criteria for SJ entries. • With reference to the sample SJ entries, or your own brainstorming, identify a list of criteria to share with students • To consider: • Do some/all of the criteria very with the entry assignment? • Address not only form but also substance in your criteria • Think about academic language development • Steps: • Think: Spend 5 minutes brainstorming on our own • Round Robin: Go around and each contribute one criteria • Grade Level Chart: As a group, select 5 or 6 most important criteria and add to Grade Level Chart (Remember to make them students friendly)

  8. Forward to Feedback • Excerpt from The Skillful Teacher Next Steps: • Implement with clarify of purpose frequent science journal assignments • Share Criteria for Success with your students • Provide scaffolding when necessary • Provide effective feedback to students
