Connecting Reading, Writing, and Critical Thinking in the Science Classroom
The NYSSLS crosscutting concepts play a critical role in teaching and learning of science curricula across all grade levels. This course is designed to demystify and clarify each of the crosscutting concepts by analyzing and interpreting crosscutting vocabulary and its application to the new science standards. Participants will consider their context and content to create a tool kit including vocabulary terms, possible scaffolds, and visual representations. Each session will focus on a select number of crosscutting concepts and as a result participants will leave with a set of lessons to support diverse learners. This course is the first in a series designed to help teachers and students navigate the reading and writing necessary to succeed in the new high stakes tests.
