These two sessions will focus on leadership. These sessions will include a
discussion of the structures that need to happen to support these shifts in
science instruction. How do you get teachers on board to engage in this work?
For example, what are examples of the stories you need to tell to support
teacher interest and buy in. What are examples of sustainable structures at a
system level to support this work? What are examples of observation and
instructional tools to support this work? In session 1, we will draw on case
studies to engage how storytelling can be used to support onboarding teachers
and to strengthen a science infrastructure. In session 2, we will share
observation and instructional tools for leaders to support this work. In session
1, participants will gain strategies and insights utilized to enhance science
instruction within a school system. In session 2, we will use classroom videos
and other examples to illustrate how to do this work in schools.
