Study Notes
Self-Evaluation and Reflection
- Encouraging self-evaluation and critique enhances reflective thinking in students.
- Constructive peer feedback supports awareness of personal development and meta-cognitive strategies.
- The use of formative assessment maximizes learning potential and promotes critical thinking, particularly during Project-Based Learning (PBL).
Formative Assessment Principles
- Formative assessment is mainly assessment for learning, contrasting with assessment of learning.
- Should be integrated into instruction, occurring multiple times during learning projects.
- Aims to guide instructional practices and modify learning strategies as needed.
SS-STEM Lesson Planning
- Identify primary content-area focus before developing social studies-STEM (SS-STEM) lessons.
- Determine a secondary content-area focus to either enhance or contextualize the primary area.
- Planning should incorporate Common Core skills and seek appropriate resources and assessments.
Digital Collaboration Tools
- Loom enables real-time collaboration through video messaging for student-teacher interaction.
- Flipgrid promotes video discussions, allowing students to respond to prompts and engage with peers' contributions.
- Goreact.com is another tool for video recording and evaluation in educational contexts.
Activities and Resources
- SS-STEM interdisciplinary learning enriches social studies and STEM standards.
- Incorporates diverse student learning modalities and various teaching models, including backward design and the 5E instructional model.
Benefits of Integrated Teaching
- An integrated SS-STEM approach creates a "richer" curriculum through complementary socio-scientific investigations.
- Lesson planning should focus on evaluation and align with project goals by starting with the end in mind.
- Essential for teachers to identify key discipline-specific knowledge before students can fully benefit from integrated curricula.
Planning Approaches
- Integrated lesson planning can develop connections among disciplines, fostering student engagement.
- Teachers should create opportunities for recognizing interdisciplinary links and adapt plans based on student interest.
- Example of augmenting social studies with STEM: Abraham Lincoln's invention of a buoy system illustrates how historical discussions can be enhanced with scientific concepts.
