Good evening everyone! Lots of familiar faces, thanks for joining us! As a reminder, be sure that when you enter into the chat, you have selected 'All panelists and attendees'

Wow…so exciting…from learning science to figuring out!

jason@drcrean.com

can you give us the website again for the website Dr. Crean just mentioned.

Yes Zena it will be on the resource list at the end and I will be emailing out all the information as well

I try to make it relevant to their lives and show them how they will use the information/content outside of the classroom

QFT! I use that to engage students so they can tell me what they want to know about a certain phenomena and then we build on it with a storyline!

Debate as well. I have them take different sides and positions of an issue and then learn to think outside of what they think and believe on issues. i.e.: Easy for students to say “Wolves should come back from being endangered” but then ask them to role play being a rancher and make an argument as to why reintroducing wolves is bad!

Absolutely-and a great chance to use productive talk to press them for evidence!

Can or should storylines be developed in leiu of district curricula?

Terry do you mean instead of purchasing a curriculum?

The storyline framework is way to think about series of lessons-so think unit level

I've never heard of Lab-Aids!

i love lab -aids

This is the anchoring phenomena?

Yep!

Yes in the storyline the video is what we use for the anchoring phenomena

The work is licensed under creative commons, so it's intended to be shared and used by all!

Disciplinary Core Idea

Thanks!

Just keep the citations on the work so folks know where it came from :D

Someone could make a lot of money if they could develop these for K-12 all areas of science.

Ha ha time to get started Kim!

The orange is the content that relates to the core ideas that students will be uncovering

Kristin - No I mean instead of a team of teachers writing curricular units for their district.

Yes Please!

That would be great!!

We absolutely can! Keep asking some specific questions Rachel, we'll do the best we can to clarify!

Welcome Rachel, I am so glad you could join us

This is really hard work.

Come to the ISTA Conference next month!

agree Detra

Yes, I think DCI's are a key component in instructional planning, especially in terms of lesson sequencing.

I think of DCIs as the information that the students learn while they are conducting their SEPs so they can make the connections (CCCs). The phenomena guides the students so they want to do the SEPs to figure out the DCIs. So DCIs are important but not the end game.

Storylines give purpose..

what’s SEPs?

Science and engineering practices

thanks!

Will you give the emails again?

If we teach a high school elective (Anatomy/Physiology) sometimes we hit ccc or the SEP's and not all DCI's apply.

Like Brian said, let ISTA help!

Thank you for the support! I have followed suggested groups on FB and Twitter as well.

mfumagalli33@gmail.com (Mike Fumagalli)

So glad to here you say that!

*hear

Twitter is great too!

Amen, we need to be brave and take risks. Have a growth mindset.

Agreed! Join us tomorrow! #NGSSchat

Definitely Karen and Detra

plan 2!

YES Karen! and don't be afraid of a little trial and error

Collaboration is absolutely necessary to build coherence in our instruction.

Thanks Michael!

It will definitely take trial and error

Absolutely Detra-and that's where significant learning on our part will take place!

Very glad to have you with us Jeanne!

Welcom Jeanne! So glad you are here

so are the DCIs like the standards?

curriculum resources will be important

Like the OLD standards

the DCIs are the big, meaningful concepts and content that build across grade levels

in the NGSS they are interwoven with the Crosscutting concepts and the Science and Engineering Practices

For sure Detra, and we will have a list of resources we will be sending out to you when the series is over and the video links are ready, hopefully by tomorrow afternoon!

Ok. Great!

Thanks for clarifing about the resources and the links being sending out.

Agreed Sean-when working on development, it is KEY to consider the entire storyline from the student perspective-that's why we use that language and that perspective as we write. If students can't see coherence, then i's time to revisit your planning

The new NGSS are based on what the students can do not just what they know. The DCIs are only one part of the three dimensions of NGSS. The other parts, the science and engineering practices (what the students do) and the crosscutting concepts (the way things are connected between the sciences and within the particular science) are the other pieces. The problem is that teachers new to NGSS only look at the DCIs to determine what the kids need to know. You need to look at all 3 parts.

Definitely-thank you Karen!

I can see pacing being an issue.

Getting the hang of pacing is absolutely part of the learning process

Great question Emily, many use a driving question board.

And then you can revisit that Driving Question Board throughout the unit!

From what we have experienced you need to put your own pacing a little on hold. If you are you going to allow students to struggle with the material so that they are the ones doing the learning, you have to give them time.

Yes and the best thing about a driving question board is that you drive instruction based on student questions, which really get them engaged in figuring out what is going on with the science

Thanks Karen!

Do you have any trainings about “unpacking the DCIs?”

Can you go back a screen for your twitter addresses?

Thank you Mike…thanks for the honesty!

Rachel that sounds like a future webinar!!

Ok Brian! Let me know when!!

yes Rachel we do,

This was awesome! Thank you!

looking forward to more webinars

Thank you all for coming, what a blast!!

Looking forward to more webinars

Thank you!

Thank you Kristin!

Hope to see you tomorrow!

Thanks
