Two-week modeling instruction teacher workshops with ongoing peer collaboration and observation for fidelity of implementation¶

Design · All designs
Evidence · no claims cited

Description¶

The professional development element at CHS consisted of two, two-week summer workshops conducted by expert modelers using the Arizona State University curriculum, in which teachers were immersed in the methodology, taking on the roles of student and teacher while conducting paradigm labs. Support for fidelity included weekly teacher meetings, pairs of teachers in each subject meeting minimally 70 minutes each week, and three observations per year by the department chair and an administrator with written feedback.

Design Implications¶

Context¶

Requirements¶

Teachers attend workshops for their area of certification and refine strategies during a second summer of training

Constraints¶

Target Learners¶

high school science teachers in physics, chemistry, and biology

Learning Goals¶

fidelity of implementation of modeling instruction pedagogy

Claims¶
