Phenomena-driven Instruction

Environmental literacy & Phenomena-driven Instruction

Workshop Date: October 8, 2020

Grades PK-4
Presented By: Sagit Betser, PhD
Head of School & Community Partnerships at BADM

In this interactive workshop we used a local environmental phenomenon to explore phenomena-driven instruction. We engaged in the process of asking questions that lead to possible lines of inquiry and discuss ways to introduce the engineering design process.

Sagit Betser, PhD, is the Head of School and Community Partnerships at the Bay Area Discovery Museum (BADM). Prior to joining BADM, Sagit managed the R&D in several start-up companies, leading multidisciplinary teams in the design and development of products from idea to full production. She also served as the KBA Director of Design and Innovation, in addition to her role as a K-5th grade Science Teacher.

Professional learning certificate was provided for all attendees.

This session counted as one and a half hours towards the 10 hours required in the 1 optional CEU available for this series.

The mission of CRS is to empower teachers and STEM professionals serving schools in historically marginalized communities to activate TK-8 students’ curiosity about the world, foster critical thinking, and inspire children to imagine future career pathways. We envision a community of educators, scientists, families and partners working together to build school cultures that equip all children to explore the world around them and build the skills needed to become innovators, problem solvers, environmental stewards, life-long learners and leaders. CRS leads a dynamic network, fostering relationships and collaborations that leverage expertise and resources to transform science teaching and learning toward greater equity, opportunity, and success for all students.

 

Our goal is simple: help teachers give students more opportunities to “do science” – to ask questions, test ideas, get their hands on real science activities. We need to inspire the next generation of thinkers, makers, problem solvers, and leaders!
