Professional Learning Opportunities

Welcome to the future of STEELS education, where traditional multiple-choice tests give way to 3-Dimensional assessments, spotlighting science and engineering practices (SEPs) and cross-cutting concepts (CCCs) alongside disciplinary core ideas (DCIs). In this transformative workshop, we'll explore innovative strategies for assessing students' conceptual understanding through real-world, authentic scenarios. Empower your students to apply their knowledge in meaningful ways, preparing them for the complexities of the real world. Lunch on your own

How can we design math lessons that foster deep, meaningful thinking? In this interactive professional learning experience, we'll dive into the Standards for Mathematical Practice (SMPs) to explore their impact on student learning. You'll gain a deeper understanding of these essential practices and apply them to refine or create lessons that promote mathematical reasoning, discourse, and sense-making. Walk away with practical strategies and ready-to-use lesson ideas that empower students to think and reason like mathematicians! This blended learning experience includes a 3-hour synchronous virtual workshop with a 3-hour asynchronous component for reflection and lesson application. By the end of the session, participants will: * Examine the Standards for Mathematical Practice (SMPs) to understand their role in deepening student learning. * Apply the Standards for Mathematical Practice to refine or develop lessons that promote deeper learning. Dates and Time Commitment: Approximately 6 Hours Virtual Synchronous: June 24, 2025; Zoom 8:30 AM - 11:30 AM Asynchronous Work due in two parts: 1. June 26, 2025 which includes learning and application 2. June 30, 2025 which includes gallery walk, reflection, and feedback **Fully funded by PDE Accelerated Learning
