Why this kind of activity can be helpful.
Why this kind of activity can be helpful.
Students have hidden assets, waiting to be discovered and connected to school ...
- Students have STEM-related life assets that are hidden from teachers.
- People who students know and places that students go can connect to science learning tasks.
General notes: Connecting to Students' Lives (now + future)
General notes: Connecting to Students' Lives (now + future)
- Broaden what constitutes "The Work of Teaching with 3-Dimensions" to include teachers routinely learning about student interests, aspirations, and STEM-related people & places in their lives right now.
- Map representation of The Work of Teaching with 3-Dimensions
- Inventory representation of The Work of Teaching with 3-Dimensions
- Science Capital tools and resources
- Use Teacher "Reflective Surveys" and companion student surveys to focus on values, confidence, and use of the three dimensions.
- Conceptboard or other virtual whiteboards can be helpful tools to facilitate learner interactions around 3-dimensional tasks.
- Student Voice guidance
- Practical Measures guidance

The Item Cluster(s) & Other Tools
Item clusters and other imperfect tasks
- All of the climate science item clusters contain items that be analyzed and modified.
- Item clusters written around other (non-climate) phenomena are interesting and useful for analyzing and adapting to classroom learning tasks.
- "Seed Tasks" make good initial practice for analyzing alignment and generating ideas for modification.
- "Modified Tasks" show several ways that the same task can be improved.
Artifacts
- Conceptboard team workspaces show different ways that teacher teams completed a Do-Talk-Revise routine with the Rock Pocket Mouse task.
