SHORT COURSE: Getting Students to Ask Better Questions presented by Julia Cook and Jennifer Mutch
Date: Saturday, November 7, 2020 | Time: 9:00am-12:00pm
Asking students to generate questions seems easy, but are their questions complex enough to drive learning? Using cross-cutting concepts as a lens to ask questions about phenomena; the Question Formulation Technique (QFT), will support all students in critical-thinking and metacognition.
Grade level: 3-12
Emphasis: Classroom Management/Engagement, Crosscutting Concepts (CCCs), Science & Engineering Practices (SEPs)
Science: Chemistry, Climate, Earth/Space Science, Engineering, Environmental Science, Integrated Science (Bundled Across Domains), Life Science/Biology, Physical Science, Physics

SHORT COURSE: 5E NGSS Chemistry Full Year Curriculum (SFUSD) presented by Katrina Rotter
Date: Saturday, November 7, 2020 | Time: 1:00pm-4:00pm
SFUSD’s 5E curriculum for NGSS Chemistry embeds ESS standards (stars and climate change) alongside chemistry topics. Come learn about our process, experience activities from throughout the year, see our student and teacher books, and be given free access to the curriculum to use.
Grade level: 9-12
Emphasis: Climate, Disciplinary Core Ideas (DCIs), Pedagogy
Science: Chemistry, Climate, Earth/Space Science
Class Ethos with HHMI: The 4th Dimension of the NGSS presented by Jim Clark and Samantha Johnson
Date: Saturday, November 14, 2020 | Time: 9:00am-12:00pm
In order for students to engage in three-dimensional lessons, we need a fourth dimension: a strong class ethos. This short course examines tools to establish and maintain that ethos, from groupworthy tasks to shifting student status. Participants will leave with concrete shifts they can make in their own classes immediately.
Grade level: 6-12
Emphasis: Classroom Management/Engagement, Climate, Pedagogy
Science: Climate, Earth/Space Science, Environmental Science, Integrated Science (Bundled Across Domains), Life Science/Biology

Equity & STEM presented by Jerry Valadez and Gary Nakagiri
Date: Saturday, November 14, 2020 | Time: 1:00pm-4:00pm
What hinders STEM success for ALL students? Learn and experience strategies that can enhance educators’ own cultural competency, diversity awareness, and perspectives on racism and prejudice. Share successful practices and policies that support successful STEM learning experiences for all students.
Grade level: TK-12
Emphasis: Classroom Management/Engagement, Leadership (Coaching, Site Leadership, Administrator, Professional Development), Pedagogy
Science: Integrated Science (Bundled Across Domains)

Creating Storylines to Support Coherent Three Dimensional Learning presented by Jon Kovach, Jarod Kawasaki, Leticia Perez, Heather Clark, William Sandoval, Lynn Kim-John
Date: Saturday, November 7, 2020 | Time: 9:00am-12:00pm
Sensemaking is the mental and physical practices to generate a deep understanding of events. Making sense of the world is foundational for science. We will share science-at-home explorations created for synchronous and asynchronous learning and to promote student sensemaking. Participants will use a planning template to create their own exploration.
Grade level: 6-12
Emphasis: Pedagogy, Science & Engineering Practices (SEPs)
Science: Chemistry, Climate, Earth/Space Science, Life Science/Biology, Physical Science, Physics

Science Coaches Leading the Way for Access and Equity presented by Diana Velez and Claudio Vargas
Date: Saturday, November 14, 2020 | Time: 9:00am-12:00pm
Join science leaders and TOSAs for an in-depth exploration into systems-wide approaches that help educators leverage the assets of remote, blended, hybrid, or other flexible learning models, in order to provide high-quality science instruction for all students. Participate in discussions with colleagues on how we can delve deeper into ways to develop teacher leadership capacity and support emerging multilingual students.
Grade level: TK-12
Emphasis: English Learner/English Language Development, Leadership (Coaching, Site Leadership, Administrator, Professional Development), TOSA/Science Coach
Science: Chemistry, Climate, Earth/Space Science, Engineering, Environmental Science, Integrated Science (Bundled Across Domains), Life Science/Biology, Physical Science, Physics
