Innovative Teaching Strategies
What skills do scientists need?

Scientist’s Habits of MindMuseum of Paleontology (UC Berkeley) NSF
Funded Project called “Understanding Science” (2012)
• Question what you observe• Investigate further• Be skeptical• Try to refute your own ideas• Seek out more evidence• Be open-minded• Think creatively
![Page 11: Meaningful Professional Development and Innovative Teaching Strategies Britta Culbertson Einstein Distinguished Educator Fellow Washington, DC, USA.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062322/56649cb45503460f94977cff/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Harvard’s Project Zero presents the following eight artist’s habits of mind (2003):
• Develop Craft• Engage and Persist• Envision• Express• Observe• Reflect• Stretch and Explore• Understand Art World
What are Artist Habits of Mind?

Research Supports Arts Integration
DeMoss and Morris (2002) discovered that arts-integrated lessons compared to non-integrated lessons promoted:
• intrinsic motivation• learning for understanding• greater problem solving opportunities
for students

Deconstruct and Recreate Through Trial and Error
• Use the design process to build a sculpture or mechanical object
• Create something from scratch – original ideas
• Create an emulation – work through the design process to recreate a piece– Find inspiration from TED talks,
Pinterest, Blogs, museum sites

Collaborate with an Arts Instructor, Another Teacher, or a
Guest to Create an Artful and Innovative Lesson
• Art teacher teaches the techniques, science teacher provides content
• Can collaborate with the art teacher or a guest artist
• Have the art teacher teach the skill and use art students to teach your students
