K-8 teachers of science in Washington state may be interested in a FREE online workshop I created using Udemy.com as a platform.

The workshop is titled- From Systems, Inquiry, & Application to the NGSS. The goals of the workshop are for participants to:

• gain a deeper understanding of Systems, Inquiry, and Application in the WA Science Learning Standards
• gain an awareness of the 3 dimensions of the Next Generation Science Standards (Practices of Science & Engineering, Crosscutting Concepts, & Disciplinary Core Ideas)
• gain multiple tools and resources for teaching students about Systems, Inquiry, & Application with connections to NGSS (Systems Handbook, Application Handbook, and lessons based on narrative text)

The workshop is:

• Asynchronous- (You attend when you want and engage with materials in the order you want)
• FREE
• Based on a series of mostly short video “lectures” where participants engage with articles, videos, links, and make sense of the materials
• and it’s FREE

NOTES:

A. I view this as a pilot and would love feedback from participants on what worked for your learning and what could be improved. I hope to create future courses with a better production value.

B. This workshop has an intentional focus on the Washington Science Learning Standards. Participants looking for a workshop with a sole focus on the NGSS should look elsewhere.
