Beskrivelse
"Engaging science teachers at all levels with important ideas relating to both the content and how they can help students learn the content is critical to promoting effective instruction. This leaders′ guide will help us use CTS even more effectively ourselves, and help us prepare new cadres of professional development providers who will engage current and future teachers with state and national resources to improve science instruction and student learning."
—George Nelson, Former Director, Project 2061, AAAS
Director, Science, Mathematics, and Technology Education, Western Washington University
"Knowing all the science standards and the science educational research about learning science for each of those standards is challenging for anyone. This book illustrates effective professional development models for using Curriculum Topic Study with science teachers and is a must-have, particularly if you′re a professional developer in science education."
—Francis Eberle, Executive Director
National Science Teachers Association
Use this powerful professional development approach to improve teacher understanding of K–12 science teaching and learning!
The Curriculum Topic Study (CTS) process, funded by the National Science Foundation, helps teachers improve their practice by linking standards and research to content, curriculum, instruction, and assessment.
Keyed to the core book Science Curriculum Topic Study, this resource helps science professional development leaders and teacher educators understand the CTS approach and how to design, lead, and apply CTS in a variety of settings that support teachers as learners. The authors provide everything needed to facilitate the CTS process, including:
A solid foundation in the CTS frameworkMultiple designs for half-day and full-day workshops, professional learning communities, and one-on-one instructional coachingFacilitation, group processing, and materials management strategiesA CD-ROM with handouts, PowerPoint slides, and templatesBy bringing CTS into schools and other professional development settings, science leaders can enhance their teachers′ knowledge of content, improve teaching practices, and have a positive impact on student learning!
