Description: The goal of this workshop series is to provide motivation, encouragement, a variety of models, and support for K-12 teachers who want to explore ways of changing how they teach science. Using video clips that take us into a broad range of classrooms, audiences are provided an opportunity to view how some teachers are approaching the teaching of science. Audiences are encouraged to reflect upon and discuss their own practices and changes they could make in their classrooms. The latest international study of science and mathematics education has found evidence of improvement in the U.S. schools, and this series aims to promote continued movement toward more authentic, engaging ways of teaching and learning. This resource is appropriate for all users, particularly for girls and women, because it involves teamwork and communication skills.
