Science is a process grounded in inquiry. Courses such as Biology, Earth Science, Physics and Chemistry are a natural platform for students to develop their critical thinking, observation, calculation, prediction and analytical skills, making them an ideal environment for dynamic learning experiences that allow students to embrace their natural curiosity. The CASDA Science Educator Roundtable is a professional learning opportunity that will bring science teachers throughout the region together to collaborate, share resources, practices, lesson activities and strategies that will help them engage and challenge students for purposeful learning.
The first session will gauge needs and interests to align agendas and activities to the goals of participating educators. Opportunities to integrate educational technology into science classrooms will be explored throughout the sessions.
