Components: Small group sharing of survey responses from Task D, large group dialogue, wrap up, and individual reflective survey.
Relevance: This task brings together all of the previous tasks and provides an opportunity to plan for formative assessment in the NGSS classroom.
Preparation for this Task: Be ready to share your ideas from Survey 5.D with the group and to build on others’ ideas.
1. In your group, you will connect these NGSS assessment task tools from Task D with the work you have previously done in the module. The protocol and prompts will be determined by your facilitator.
2. In your group capture your next steps and plans for incorporating formative assessment into your science teaching. Your facilitator will provide you with a collaborative tool to do this. Your ideas will be shared with the other teams throughout the state.
The big questions educators are grappling with at the national level are the same ones we are trying to make sense of with a specific focus on our rich and varying contexts here in Oregon. These are the questions that we can continue to work together as a network to tackle in the future:
Complete Survey 5.E and consider the completion of the survey as the completion of the module. This survey must be completed for you to earn credit or PDU’s. You will complete this before you do a final real time closure activity with your team.
FACILITATOR CLOSURE in Real Time
Your facilitator will be providing a closing activity to provide the group closure, reflection, and processing.
