Sponsor logoIn this interactive session, participants will:

  • Reflect on their own experiences and identify common barriers to making time for science in elementary classrooms.
  • Engage in integrated literacy and science learning activities that highlight instructional strategies to support growth in both disciplines.

Below are comments from individuals who attended the seminar:

  • "I really appreciated the sharing of the brief with resources - it is helpful to have research to show the benefits when advocating for science in the classroom. I thought the use of the chat and padlet were great!"
  • "It was very informative, and the speakers communicated clearly."
  • "The seminar helped me realize that the students in my school actually have less science time than I thought. We are at the average time as other school in the nation. This leaves room for improvement, thank you!"

A certificate of attendance was deposited into participants' account page for completing the evaluation form at the end of the program.
