| Description | |
In this full day workshop hosted at Henry Doorly Zoo’s Aquarium Conference Center (3701 S. 10th Street), you will learn practical strategies for learning in science and linking assessment to instruction. You will learn how to:
- build a repertoire of techniques to elicit students’ ideas
- solidify conceptual understanding and foster productive science discussions
- apply the techniques in other content areas
- design learning opportunities that will deepen students’ mastery of content
Page Keeley’s books (Science Formative Assessment Volume 1 and Volume 2) will be available for purchase the day of the event using a personal check, a district check, or a district purchase order.
