Description
Your district adopted a science curriculum. You hoped it would be well aligned with the NGSS. But, after reviewing it, you realized it wasn't built for 3D learning. You aren't alone. This week we answer this question from Kim in California. The name of the publisher she mention has been removed because we believe the problems she is discussing are not unique to this particular publisher. Kim says "I am a 7th and 8th-grade science teacher. Our district adopted [an integrated curriculum]. As a team, we don't love the program. The spiral organization doesn't really make sense and the SEPs and CCCs don't seem smoothly integrated. Do you have suggestions on how to adapt or utilize [this curriculum] specifically or adopted curricula in general? Thanks!"Check out the full episode recap here.Once you've listened, here is an episode for each of the things you can choose to work on:Science and Engineering PracticesDisciplinary Core IdeasCrosscutting ConceptsPhenomenaDiscovery-Based LearningOther Resources:How to Create Engaging Storylines - Erin's Blog PostFREE 3d Lesson Planner - Sadler ScienceNicole's Free Bringing Wonder Back WorkshopAre you looking for a quick, easy and FREE way to improve your lessons?
