Our elementary science specialists will be offering a Science and Writing Integration PD opportunity for a limited number of teachers. The deadline for teachers to sign up is Friday, Aug. 11.
Looking for help integrating science and writing?
This 2023-24 Science and Writing Cohort will take educators on a teaching journey to help students consistently write exemplary 5 paragraph essays using the FOSS focus questions. Participation in this cohort will satisfy the 32 hours of Educator Directed Paid Time!
Cohort Requirements
- In-person - 2 hours: 3 times (August, September, November)
- Virtually - 1 hour: 4 times (August, October, November, January)
- Individual Implementation - 22 hours (August - April)
The 32 hours will cover a guided implementation of the writing process as it connects with your science curriculum. Time is allotted for grading and extra planning that might be required. From August through part of November you will be asked to have your students write 7 times (these are not full five paragraph essays). From November through April your students will need to complete 10 five paragraph essays.
