Math & Science Professional Development
• Common Core 8 Mathematical Practices• Next Generation Science Standards Framework
Implications for Embedding Engineering Practices • Vernier LabQuest 2 - Technology• Inquiry Based Learning • Creating/Consuming Aligned Inquiry Based
Activities Integrating Engineering/Technology• Reformed Teaching Observation Protocol (RTOP)
Data Gathering & Analysis
• Teacher Survey Results• Student Survey Results• EPAS Profile Summary Reports– EXPLORE– PLAN– ACT
Data (continued)

• Science Teachers will respond to the instructional implications of the Next Generation Science Standards Framework with a focus on the integration of engineering practices and inquiry based learning
Goals and Outcomes (continued)
• Math and science teachers will use instructional practices that develop student concepts using specific questioning strategies and inquiry based learning opportunities aligned to standards
• Math and science teachers will integrate the student use of Vernier LabQuest 2 technology for data collection and analysis
• Peer Review (PLC and RTOP)
Best laid plans…
