Do you want to teach your students to think like scientists as they build essential ELA and digital literacy skills? In this session, you will explore lessons and activities that prepare learners to address real-world health issues while empowering them to be agents of social change within their families and communities.
- Science and English language arts teachers at all levels
This professional development activity/course is designed for:
This session will introduce a contextualized science unit developed for an English language arts or science class at the intermediate level (GLE 4–8). The unit prioritizes using evidence-based reading practices that enable learners to develop and strengthen their English language arts skills as they learn science. In addition, students utilize digital tools to build technology skills through research and presentation preparation. Students are encouraged to make personal and cultural connections to critical health conditions as they explore different kinds of variables and fair testing procedures.
During this session, you will engage in various lesson activities. You will receive all curriculum materials at the end of the session.
Participants will receive 1.5 PD hours in LACES upon completion of this session.
Please note: You cannot access this session from the SABES website. You will receive an email from Zoe Reinecke of the ELA PD Center 1–2 days before the session with instructions on how to access the Zoom session.
