As science teachers we are well aware of our content, but explicitly teaching the crosscutting concepts (CCC) and science/engineering practices (SEP) can be challenging. This course is designed to help increase teacher and student confidence with these less familiar components of NYSSLS. In this completely asynchronous course, we will dive into the large collection of CCC and SEP mini-lessons available on The Wonder of Science site. These include short videos, thinking slides, and graphic organizers that can be used as tutorials to help teachers make sense of the CCCs and SEPs or with students to explicitly make the connections required in the standards. Multiple levels of understanding and links to related standards will be discussed in order to make applications to any grade level and subject.
