Modeling Curiosity and Wonder in the Elementary Classroom
The new science TEKS are here! With the new standards, comes a shift from learning about science to figuring it out using 3D learning and sensemaking lessons. Phenomena is a driving piece of upcoming instruction, and when used correctly, it will increase student inquiry and help students to see a connection between science in the classroom and science in their world. We will explore different types of phenomena, how to choose a phenomenon that is appropriately aligned to the standards you will be teaching, multiple ways to use it with elementary students and questioning strategies to get your students wondering! I will share some of my personal experiences in implementing and using phenomena in my classroom this past school year.

Three special education teachers and three general education teachers will present the ins and outs of modifying work for students that receive modified curriculum. The presentation will cover the collaborative efforts necessary to modify work and examples of how to modify grade-level math and ELA work to a modified student's level. There will also be an activity where general education teacher attendees and special education teacher attendees will partner and modify work for a sample student. We will provide a sample student packet with all state and district testing data, iReady summary, and IEP to use to guide them through the activity. They will then practice modifying a grade-level assignment to present to the group. We will wrap up the presentation with a question/answer session.
