The Three Dimensions of Missouri’s Science Learning Standards
All Locations: 9:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m.
Presenter: Tyler Britt, Ed.S., Science, Social Studies, and Instructional Technology Coordinator, Raytown C-2
Join us for a day of science collaboration and learning! Participants will study the three dimensions of Missouri’s science learning standards and their impact on classroom instruction. Throughout the day, we’ll unpack the standards to discover how the three dimensions build to one performance expectation, examine how we might build units and lessons to help kids reach those performance expectations, and ways we might assess learning all throughout the process. By combining best practices, science education research, and tools from DESE and beyond, we can set up our students for science success. See you there!
