Many high-quality curricula use transfer tasks, phenomenon-based assessments where students demonstrate their three dimensional understanding while exploring a novel scenario. In this session, educators will work through an example of a transfer task and an activity structure that helps students learn.

TAKEAWAYS:
Leave with an understanding of what transfer tasks are and an activity structure to use with students learning how to engage in this assessment practice.

SPEAKERS:
Kate Henson, William Penuel, Melissa Campanella

Learn how to engage your students with the rich phenomena that stars and exoplanets can provide through the use of a free EQuIP-reviewed high quality ESS unit.

TAKEAWAYS:
Attendees will deepen their understanding of how prioritizing phenomena-driven learning supports key HQIM features through exploring a free NGSS-badged ESS unit that engages student interest and relevance while integrating the three dimensions of argumentation, stability & change, and various DCIs.

SPEAKERS:
Devin Foschi, Dora Kastel

It is powerful to connect science instruction to local phenomena and community priorities—but it is challenging work! Join us to explore benefits and cautions of adapting OpenSciEd instructional materials to local contexts and to learn multiple strategies for localization of resources.

TAKEAWAYS:
Leave with practical strategies and resources to adapt OpenSciEd effectively, making science education more culturally relevant, engaging, and impactful for their students.

SPEAKERS:
William Penuel, Melissa Campanella

High quality curriculum materials like OpenSciEd can be overwhelming! Join us to learn how to use the lesson unpacking protocol to get ready to teach with OpenSciEd.

TAKEAWAYS:
Prticpants will leave with a step-by-step protocol for unpacking OpenSciEd lessons in 30 minutes.

Want to create 3D assessment tasks that students enjoy completing and leave wanting to learn more? Join us for this session where we will explore three different approaches to choosing phenomena and problems for assessments that align to standards and connect to students’ interests and identities.

TAKEAWAYS:
Educators will leave with a plan for learning about your students’ interests and the priorities of their communities pertaining to a 3D standard you are teaching and assessing next semester.

SPEAKERS:
William Penuel, Abraham Lo

Learn how to support meaningful student sensemaking through the integration of the three dimensions of the NGSS by engaging with a complex phenomenon on the genetics of isolated big cat populations in a free storyline-based HS biology unit.

TAKEAWAYS:
Attendees will learn how to support meaningful student sensemaking by effectively integrating the three dimensions of the NGSS, a key feature of HQIM, through experiences from a HS biology unit exploring the conservation of megafauna through the lens of the genetic viability of isolated populations.

SPEAKERS:
Devin Foschi, Dora Kastel

Learn how to support students in using the three dimensions of the NGSS with increasing depth and sophistication by exploring a free, quality biology unit that foregrounds the progression of modeling to explain the puzzling phenomenon of a marathon runner who fails to maintain homeostasis.

TAKEAWAYS:
Designing HQIM for the NGSS requires an emphasis on building progressions across the three dimensions. See how students develop their use of the Modeling SEP over time to reach high school proficiency in this EQuIP-reviewed homeostasis unit.

SPEAKERS:
Devin Foschi, Dora Kastel

Explore how educative features in HQIM can support teacher learning, leading to effective adaptation and teacher decision-making that maintains curricular integrity. Using a free, storyline-based HS ESS course as an example, learn how these features foster sustainable changes in practice.

TAKEAWAYS:
Through an immersive experience, attendees will have the opportunity to consider educative features of OER science materials, including targeted callout boxes, that are designed to support enactment of the curriculum and localized adaptations to the materials that maintain the vision of the NGSS.

SPEAKERS:
Elizabeth Chatham, Dora Kastel

The field of science education has made great strides in implementing the Next Generation Science Standards in order to fulfill the vision for science education established in A Framework for K-12 Science Education. Progress has been made developing high quality instructional materials with embedded
