Welcome Science Team! We will use this space to share ideas and keep our work updated as a team.

GOALS 08-09:

Each Content Team Meeting this year will consist of two components: a pedagogy piece and a content piece.

Pedagogy Goals:


 * Introduce and experiment with a variety of pre-assessment and formative assessment strategies. Learn new strategies at the meetings, try strategies out and share the results at Content Team Meetings. The following questions will be used to guide our discussions:

1. Did you know more about students' current level of understanding from using the pre-assessment? 2. How did using the pre-assessment affect your instructional planning or teaching? 3. How can pre-assessment impact student learning?


 * Introduce and experiment with instructional strategies in the area of vocabulary. Learn new strategies at the meetings, try strategies and share the results at Content Team Meetings.

Content Goals: We will use the UbD format to guide our vertical team discussions in the area of Earth Science. We will try to deepen our content knowledge in earth science and vertically articulate across grade levels.
