This book was released on 2016-01-15 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Currently, many states are adopting the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) or are revising their own state standards in ways that reflect the NGSS. For students and schools, the implementation of any science standards rests with teachers. For those teachers, an evolving understanding about how best to teach science represents a significant transition in the way science is currently taught in most classrooms and it will require most science teachers to change how they teach. That change will require learning opportunities for teachers that reinforce and expand their knowledge of the major ideas and concepts in science, their familiarity with a range of instructional strategies, and the skills to implement those strategies in the classroom. Providing these kinds of learning opportunities in turn will require profound changes to current approaches to supporting teachers' learning across their careers, from their initial training to continuing professional development. A teacher's capability to improve students' scientific understanding is heavily influenced by the school and district in which they work, the community in which the school is located, and the larger professional communities to which they belong. Science Teachers' Learning provides guidance for schools and districts on how best to support teachers' learning and how to implement successful programs for professional development. This report makes actionable recommendations for science teachers' learning that take a broad view of what is known about science education, how and when teachers learn, and education policies that directly and indirectly shape what teachers are able to learn and teach. The challenge of developing the expertise teachers need to implement the NGSS presents an opportunity to rethink professional learning for science teachers. Science Teachers' Learning will be a valuable resource for classrooms, departments, schools, districts, and professional organizations as they move to new ways to teach science.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is science for a child? How do children learn about science and how to do science? Drawing on a vast array of work from neuroscience to classroom observation, Taking Science to School provides a comprehensive picture of what we know about teaching and learning science from kindergarten through eighth grade. By looking at a broad range of questions, this book provides a basic foundation for guiding science teaching and supporting students in their learning. Taking Science to School answers such questions as: When do children begin to learn about science? Are there critical stages in a child's development of such scientific concepts as mass or animate objects? What role does nonschool learning play in children's knowledge of science? How can science education capitalize on children's natural curiosity? What are the best tasks for books, lectures, and hands-on learning? How can teachers be taught to teach science? The book also provides a detailed examination of how we know what we know about children's learning of scienceâ€"about the role of research and evidence. This book will be an essential resource for everyone involved in K-8 science educationâ€"teachers, principals, boards of education, teacher education providers and accreditors, education researchers, federal education agencies, and state and federal policy makers. It will also be a useful guide for parents and others interested in how children learn.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Science Teachers Who Draw: The Red Is Always There Science Teachers Who Draw: The Red is Always There is a book which asks, "What happens when science teachers adopt an aesthetic approach to inquiry, using drawing to communicate deep understanding?" This narrative inquiry was driven by quantitative studies which reveal a robust positive correlation between students' test scores in reading and science, beginning at the middle school level. When the data are disaggregated, there exists a vast achievement gap for low income and English language learners. Science teachers are faced with a semiotic nightmare. Often possessing inadequate pedagogical content knowledge themselves, science teachers must somehow symbolically communicate often highly abstract knowledge in ways that can be not only be decoded by their students' but later used to construct deeper, more differentiated knowledge, which can be applied to make sense of and adapt successfully to life on Planet Earth. This book documents the ways in which science teacher researchers used drawing to construct semiotic spaces inside which students acquired significant aesthetic capital and agency. Many previously failing students brokered this new capital into improved academic achievement and a sense of felt freedom. The author sought not to displace in any way the important traditions of situated, constructivist scientific inquiry, but instead, to convincingly argue that intrinsically inexact, artistic, and poetic ways of understanding and communicating the meaning, context, and processes of science phenomena can catalyze learning reactions resulting in a broad, meaningful spectrum of understanding for all students. An invaluable resource for teachers, teacher educators, and qualitative researchers. Merrie Koester offers science teachers a richly illustrated guide to making science more engaging, more accessible, and truer to the imaginative foundations of scientific inquiry, through the visual arts. Her research-based approach empowers students to notice more, connect better, and express themselves visually as well as verbally. This book will be especially valued by teachers of struggling readers and English-language learners, but it provides a powerful resource for every teacher who values creativity and active learning. Koester's approach, based on her own and other teachers' experience, is centered in the power of visual expression to engage students in learning about the natural world, but more deeply it is about caring. Caring for the world, caring about one another. Her book is rich in poetry as well as drawing and in the revealing expressive work and collaborations of students and teachers caring together. -Jay Lemke, Department of Communication, University of California-San Diego. Merrie Koester has created a well-researched and documented, persuasive and liberating, serious yet playful book that should be required reading for all science teachers and teachers in preparation. Even the structure of this book reflects its message. Koester persuasively illustrates that art also "connects, communicates, and breaks down barriers." Art opens windows to the world for English language learners, poor readers and others too commonly seen as poor students. Equally important, Koester shows us that teaching science as an aesthetic inquiry can be done in the standards-based, ultra accountability context now engulfing education in America. Science Teachers That Draw: The Red is Always There is for all science teachers, elementary and secondary, including those wishing to become teachers, and for the higher education faculty who prepare them. -Donald B. Young, Dean, College of Education, University of University of Hawai'i M noa"
