Empowering Educators and Students to Meet the New Science Standards

The new science standards require educators to shift their classroom focus from transmission of information to application of knowledge through real-world experiences. While the benefits may be clear, how to achieve this has presented educators with a new set of challenges. In this webinar, leaders from one school district will explain how they shifted to an interdisciplinary approach to bring about deeper student understanding and achievement. During this webinar, two school district leaders will discuss:

• How they created modular units that present real-world problems and provide opportunities to apply solutions
• How district leaders empowered their teachers to implement authentic performance tasks that help students meet the new standards
• The impact this shift in teaching and learning has had on student engagement and achievement
