NSELA Partner Webinar: Practicing the Practices to Drive Middle School Student Readiness

NSELA Partner Webinar: BrainPOP Science

Description

This webinar will focus on middle school science. Specifically when your MS students get to HS, what should the HS teachers expect them to be prepared to do? What are the skills or practices they should be mastering in MS?

Key Takeaway

A vision of how providing MS students time to “practice the practices” while also focusing on expanding teacher capacity for multi-dimensional science can lead to increased student readiness for the rigors of HS science courses as well as for class, district, or state assessments.
