Experiences, Language, and Sensemaking: Tools for Teaching in an NGSS Classroom
Teaching in an NGSS classroom requires that students are active learners, rather than passive recipients of knowledge. In this session, we will present our strategy for teaching Energy to 3-8th grade students, including how we engaged students with difficult content in a way that goes beyond memorizing vocabulary words. We will also discuss how this way of teaching attends to equity by leveling the playing field for all students.
