Following a hands-on experience in mechanism design, participants discuss the knowledge of content, pedagogy, and student thinking needed to support similar experiences for children.
Join the panelists from the plenary presentation to continue conversations about common standards in each of the STEM disciplines.
In this session, participants experience a PD model that successfully encourages teachers to adopt a curriculum’s underlying philosophy rather than simply to enact it as sequence of activities.

This session describes a suite of instruments for measuring implementation of instructional materials and ways those instruments have been adapted to other materials and interventions.
The significance of inquiry skills is widely acknowledged in science practice across many areas. Unlike experimentation, another form of inquiry skill, observational investigation has been much ignored in science education and thus science assessment. Drawing on reserach development in assessment design, this report provides a design pattern to help assessment designers create tasks assessing students' complex scientific reasoning skills in observational investigation. The design pattern lays out considerations regarding targeted knowledge and skills in this inquiry proces
The significance of inquiry skills is widely acknowledged in science practice across many areas. Carrying out experimental investigations is an indispensable element of scientific inquiry and, therefore, an important capability to assess.
This article examines a collaborative study group's discussions about “revoicing,” an idea from linguistics that has been identified as an important discourse strategy in the teaching of mathematics as well as other content areas. This group, made up of eight middle grades (grades 6–10) mathematics teacher-researchers (TRs), one university professor, and two graduate students in the United States, is involved in a longitudinal study with the purpose of better understanding how doing action research on their own classroom discourse impacts mathematics TRs' beliefs and classroom practices.
