OpenSciEd is seeking input! Substitute plans and absent student support


Attention teachers who have OpenSciEd experience and ideas! A call for crowdsourcing support from OpenSciEd! :) 

Your voice matters!
Share your expertise,
win a gift card. 

We continually get feedback from teachers using our materials that they would like support with addressing two persistent challenges:

  1. Providing lesson plans/resources during their absence.

  2. Supporting absent students when they return to the classroom. 

We're collecting ideas and solutions to these problems to create a resource guide for all teachers to use in their classrooms. We will also present our findings at NSTA in Denver, CO, and during our free Back-to-School webinars this summer. But to make this possible, we need your expert input! 

We're conducting two brief surveys on the problem areas:
  • Substitute Teacher Plans: We want to hear your strategies for ensuring seamless learning even when you're away. Share your go-to resources, planning tips, and any creative solutions you've found.
  • Supporting Absent Students: Using our curriculum in your classroom? We want to know how you support students who have missed significant parts of the institutional model, such as the unit anchoring phenomenon, the problematizing routine, or the data discussions. 
All survey participants will be entered into a gift card giveaway, and the winners will be announced on February 12th! We can't wait to hear your thoughts and ideas. Thank you for your commitment and dedication to inspiring the next generation of scientists!

Do you know any fellow educators who may have input on these topics? Please feel free to forward this email or share the survey links directly.
Complete the survey(s) by
February 12th!

[STATE-LEVEL] ASSESSMENT SHOULD NOT DRIVE INSTRUCTION

Regional Science Coordinators are developing an online orientation class for the new Washington Comprehensive Assessment of Science (WCAS). We have involved OSPI’s Science Assessment lead, Dawn Cope and OSPI’s Director of K-12 Science, Ellen Ebert, in the process as well as Lois Sherwood from WSTA. In our first planning meeting, I wanted to hear the most important message from each person at the [virtual] table. Dawn Cope of the assessment department was the first to speak up and quite pointedly said, “assessment does not drive instruction.” That pretty much spoke for the rest of us. What does that mean for teachers in Washington State where we’ve spend the last 13 years writing “powerful classroom assessments” that mirrored the content and format of the WASL and the MSP? Assessment systems serve specific purposes . They are developed to provide specific kinds of data for those purposes. And an assessment developed at the state level to inform state-wide decisions does not l...

Three-Dimensional Nature of the new Washington Comprehensive Assessment of Science (WCAS)

The new science assessment does NOT privilege content above practice or crosscutting concepts. We have heard from two different parts of the region that someone who self-identifies as an NGSS-assessment-item-writer has returned to their district and erroneously reported to supervisors and colleagues that the new NGSS-aligned assessment’s (WCAS) items focus solely on one of the three dimension of NGSS (namely, the Disciplinary Core Ideas, most closely related to our previous notions of “content”). This is idea represents a serious misunderstanding that could derail a district’s transition efforts around NGSS. Not being an item-writer myself, I reached out to OSPI. Dawn Cope of OSPI’s Science Assessment Team responded with wonder that anyone could come away from item writing with that idea and, explained that all the training materials and the process used reflect the 3-dimensional nature of the NGSS. She shared all the training items for me to examine so I could try and see wher...
