Location: Zoom Videoconference
Facilitator: Susan Holveck & Bradford Hill
Audience: High School Educators

In this PLC, you will work together with other teachers to implement talk protocols in your classroom and share your experience back to the group. There will be opportunities to troubleshoot and practice with other teachers. We will build a talk protocol flowchart together that you can use in your classroom.

Participants will experience the Patterns Approach of using inquiry and exploration to teach content to students as well as how to integrate classroom discourse into their instructional design including  a variety of data discussion methods. Participants will also learn how to include instructional practices that support student scientific writing that advance equitable engagement of students as they grapple with real-world applications. These applications involve social and environmental justice themes and mathematical patterns and trends

*Oregon high school science teachers will be paid a stipend of $50/hour to attend.
