For MS Teachers: Islandwood's "Introduction to Localizing OpenSciEd"

 


OpenSciEd is an Open Educational Resource that is freely available to educators to use with their students. One of the reasons they created this as an "open" resource was because teachers invariably find they have to customize and tailor things for their students and communities. And that's what Localizing is all about!

Join us for this introductory Zoom session where we provide an overview of the process teachers use to make meaningful community connections from their science instructional units to their students' lives. 

Tuesday, November 28th 4-5:30 pm

This 1.5 hour Zoom will share strategies used by science teachers in the Localizing Amplify Science Project including the process and models of work.

1.5 clock hours (1 STEM & .5 Equity) 

This session will support teachers interested in learning about the localization with just an introduction, and also teachers who might like to participate in an upcoming workshop in January to work on a unit they teach.  

.5 clock hours will also be available toward asynchronous work.
