Go Beyond the Textbook: Explore Text Sources and Advanced Literacy Strategies that Support Three-Dimensional Learning in High School Science

Open to: High School Science Teachers
Opportunity at a Glance:  In this Professional Learning series, participants will engage in an in-depth exploration of “literacy beyond the textbook”.  Participants during this series will do the following:

  • Explore how different text sources can augment traditional high school textbook resources;
  • Explore how, as science teachers, we can build our students’ skills in interpreting, synthesizing, and communicating information from text sources;
  • Focus on strategies for selecting text sources, ways to build students’ skills in interpretation, sense making and validation of primary and secondary scientific texts; and
  • Finally, learn how to use texts to support culturally responsive teaching and critical analysis of current events in science.
