  1. Teaching Secondary Science: Working Smarter Washington State ESD Science Coordinators Craig Gabler, Jeff Bullock, Michael Brown, Jon Hanson, Mark Watrin

  2. Goals: • Experience reform-based instructional strategies that enable students to demonstrate “science practices”. • Observe how reform-based science instruction is supported by research and how it links with the revised Washington Science Standards. • Take home an instructional strategy to use in your classroom.

  3. Getting to know each other… Road Signs

  4. Regional Science Coordinators Jon Hanson, ESD 101, Spokane Mike Brown, ESD 105, Yakima Mark Watrin, ESD 112, Vancouver Craig Gabler, ESD 113, Olympia Jeff Ryan, ESD 114, Bremerton Kirk Robbins, ESD 121, Puget Sound Georgia Boatman, ESD 123, Pasco Jeff Bullock, ESD 171, Wenatchee Adrienne Somera, ESD 189, Anacortes

  5. Probing your thinking… Power Send

  6. Framing…. This Session

  7. Framing the Session: • What it is like to experience science as scientists? • What instructional strategies support students experiencing “science practices”?

  8. Framing the Session: • How does inquiry-based science connect with Washington State Science Standards? • How does inquiry-based science connect with the research?

  9. Let’s immerse ourselves in science!

  10. Focusing on light….

  11. Instructional Strategies What Instructional Strategies have you observed today?

  12. Connecting to Science Standards 6-8 INQA Question6-8 INQB Investigate6-8 INQC Investigate6-8 INQD Investigate6-8 INQE Model6-8 INQF Explain6-8 INQG Communicate Clearly6-8 INQH Intellectual Honestly6-8 INQI Consider Ethics 9-12 INQA Question9-12 INQB Investigate9-12 INQC Investigate9-12 INQD Investigate9-12 INQE Model9-12 INQF Explain9-12 INQG Communicate Clearly9-12 INQH Intellectual Honestly

  13. Connecting to Science Standards 6-8 PS3D, • Draw and label a diagram showing that to see an object, light must come directly from the object or from an external source reflected from the object, and enter the eye. 9-12INQA, • Generate and evaluate a question that can be answered through a scientific investigation. Critique questions generated by others and explain whether or not the questions are scientific. 9-12INQC  • Draw conclusions supported by evidence from the investigation and consistent with established scientific knowledge. • Analyze alternative explanations and decide which best fits the data.

  14. Connecting to the research A Private Universe - Minds of our Own

  15. Connecting to the research Research on How People Learn • Take about 8-10 minutes to read the one page summary. • Think about connections between the summary of this research and the video.

  16. Connecting to the research Research on How People Learn (HPL)

  17. A sense of urgency “If education is to help students make sense of their surroundings and ready them for the challenges of the technology-driven, internationally competitive world, then it must be based on what we know about learning from science.” How People Learn

  18. A sense of urgency: State Science Proficiencies 100 48.2 40.0 Crisis in Science Education For 5 yrs, 2 of 3 students did NOT understand science. What will be different in the next 5 yrs? 100.0 90.0 80.0 70.0 G8 2005 NAEP G4 2005 NAEP Proficient Students on the Science WASL (%) 60.0 50.0 40.0 2009 NAEP 44.4 30.0 36.4 36.3 20.0 39.4 35.8 28.2 32.2 35.7 35.2 35.7 31.8 29.0 33.0 42.9 34.9 35.0 10.0 0.0 04 07 05 06 11 12 13 09 03 04 05 03 04 05 06 07 08 07 10 06 High School Grade 10 Grade 5 Grade 8 18

  19. A sense of urgency: 2007 Grade 10 Student Performance Level 1: Below Basic Level 2: Basic Level 3: Proficient Level 4: Advanced 30.5% 22,927 students 21.3% 16,017 students 2.4% 1,836 students 33.5% 25,192 students Percent of Students Who Took Test 400 Scale Score 34 of 62 pts 55% 375 Scale Score 25 of 62 pts 40% 458 Scale Score 51 of 62 pts 83% 19

  20. It’s a competitive world: TIMSS • TIMSS? • Trendsin International Mathematicsand Science Study(formerly known as the Third International Mathematics and Science Study) • Developed by the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA) to measure trends in students' mathematics and science achievement.

  21. 2007 TIMSS We are here!

  22. A sense of urgency: It’s a competitive world PISA A system of international assessments that focus on 15-year-olds' capabilities in reading literacy, mathematics literacy, and science literacy.

  23. 2006 PISA Results We are here!

  24. A sense of urgency An eye opening discourse on today’s technology, education, and our country’s future. Published in 2007

  25. A sense of urgency In 2004 the New York Times reported that low-wage employers Wal-Mart and McDonalds created more jobs in the US than high-wage employers in the science and technology industries. Economist estimate that about half of US economic growth sense WWII is the result of technological innovation. However in 2001 we had a negative trade balance of 50 billion dollars in high-technology products and high-wage jobs.

  26. A sense of urgency Thomas L. Friedman’s commentary on the ramifications of technology and people, businesses, education, and society in general Published 2005, updated 2006

  27. A sense of urgency Allen Greenspan interview at the Department of Education in 2006 about education in general and science and technology specifically. “If you can solve the education problem, you don’t have to do anything else. If you don’t solve it, nothing else is going to matter all that much”.

  28. WHAT CAN WE DO TO HELP YOU? We appreciate this opportunity to gather data about your needs to support science education reform in your district. What support would be helpful? Statewide network among the ESDs

  30. Taking it home What will you take home from this session? • Things you’ve learned • Things you want to know more about • Strategies you will use
