Given limited resources, districts and schools might have to focus professional development on fewer teachers to provide the high quality activities that effectively change teaching practice. How Science Teachers Enact the Curriculum
When science teachers adopt innovative curricula, it’s important that they structure students’ activities as a unit, rather than as a set of linear, discrete events. That’s because students learn with deeper understanding when the teacher has woven the concepts and activities into a coherent whole. Recent research by UW-Madison education professor Sadhana Puntambekar has helped to pinpoint how that’s done, and how science teachers effectively facilitate classroom discussion. |
