1st Nine Weeks Science Facilitator Progress
Posted by AMY ANDERSON on 9/27/2017
Work Completed by Both Science Facilitators
· Created shared documents with easy to read ALCOS and MB Science Standards for ALL grades (K-6)
- DOK Level for each standard
- Differences in language/rigor
- Correlated with STEMscopes Units
- Correlated with PLTW Units
- Additional resources that can be used to teach each standard
· Created a collaborative document for Scope & Sequence for ALL grades (K-6)
· PLTW
- Ordered and delivered new PLTW materials purchased with grant funds
- Saved all PLTW materials from Canvas (PLTW moved to a different LMS this year)
· Created (from Scratch) and easy to follow small group rotation schedule that incorporates STEAM centers as well as grouping students according to pre-assessment data
K-3 Science Facilitator
· Integrated Growth Mindset lessons into primary-level PLTW unit that teaches the engineering design process
- Modeled lesson in 1st Grade: Haley, Black
· Developed initial Claim, Evidence, Reasoning (CER) Lessons for 2nd and 3rd and modeled lessons: Mitchell, Carter,
· Developed structure for Science Journal for Units 1 and 2 in STEMscopes (3rd Grade)
· Developed Lessons to Teach Design Process (How to Design a Robot)
4-6 Science Facilitator
· Facilitated 5th and 6th Science PLC Meeting
· Developed standards based gradebook for 4th Grade Math
· Developed standards based gradebook for 4th Grade Science (according to Science Practice Standards)
· Leads 4th Grade Math/Science PLC to separate items by standard on all assessments in Math and Science in order to give a standards based grade (4, 3, 2, 1) on each area assessed.
· Co-teaching PLTW Unit on the Human Brain daily in McKerley/O’Neill
· Built VEX IQ Robot and participating in continuous learning on coding VEX robots in preparation for 5th PLTW unit.
· Attend Wednesday and Thursday Robotics Team Meetings every week at the Jr. High
· Developed a more structures science journal that follows the procedures and activities in PLTW Modules: Human Brain and Input/Output Computer Systems
· Organized Solar Eclipse Viewing and resources school-wide
