Focus Question: Implementation Challenges for
Teachers
What are the “obstacles” to implementing inquiry approaches generally, and kits specifically, at the classroom level?
![Page 17: Intro Slide](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032605/56812b84550346895d8fa26e/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Type on the chat box or use your phone, (*6 to un-mute), to share what you think are “obstacles” to implementing inquiry.

Common Obstacles to Change
• RESOURCES
• HABITS
• “GOOD SCIENCE SMELLS” -- P.23
![Page 19: Intro Slide](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032605/56812b84550346895d8fa26e/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Common Obstacles to Change (cont’d.)• ADMINISTRATIVE
SUPPORT & COMFORT LEVEL
• PARENT SUPPORT & COMFORT LEVEL
• PEER SUPPORT/COMFORT: “SUBTLE SHIFTS”
• TESTING -- IF SCIENCE = “NONTESTED”

Type on the chat box or use your phone, (*6 to un-mute), to share what you think are solutions for managing change at the classroom level.

Suggestions for Managing Change at the Classroom Level
(1) Aim for “subtle shifts”
(2) Focus on YOUR STUDENTS first
(3) Take every opportunity to showcase inquiry in action for your parents and your principal
![Page 22: Intro Slide](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032605/56812b84550346895d8fa26e/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
22
Suggestions for Managing Change at the Classroom Level (cont’d)
(4) Educate your parents, the principal, etc.--piano metaphor, research cited in the book, etc.
(5) Don’t reinvent the wheel! See resources in Good Science appendix -- who can help provide more information, sample lessons -- a NETWORK!

Participant suggestions -- what else has worked well in YOUR experience?

Focus Question:
With NCLB and other high-stakes testing putting a premium on literacy, how can inquiry science support a school’s/district’s test performance mandate? (And what can classroom teachers do about it?)
![Page 26: Intro Slide](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032605/56812b84550346895d8fa26e/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

Poll Question:
Has NCLB changed the way you teach science?
![Page 27: Intro Slide](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032605/56812b84550346895d8fa26e/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

Literacy and Inquiry Science
Literacy as a high-stakes focus nationally
Science Notebooks: Klentschy and El Centro results -- how many of you are familiar with the Valle Imperial Project in Science (www.vipscience.com/)?
![Page 28: Intro Slide](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032605/56812b84550346895d8fa26e/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

Literacy and Inquiry Science
Components of lab notebooks:• Records observations clearly, following writing
conventions, grammar, etc.
• Includes accurate, labeled, color illustrations
• Communicates procedures and data gathered, including graphics and tables where appropriate
![Page 29: Intro Slide](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032605/56812b84550346895d8fa26e/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
29
Literacy and Inquiry ScienceComponents of lab notebooks:• Presents analysis and
conclusion
• Presents the “line of learning” -- new learning is shared as are new curiosities and questions: “Inquiry begets inquiry!”
![Page 30: Intro Slide](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032605/56812b84550346895d8fa26e/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)

I use lab notebooks in my classroom:
YES NO
![Page 31: Intro Slide](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032605/56812b84550346895d8fa26e/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
31
Literacy and Inquiry Science
Using science lab notebooks to improve literacy:• Don’t assume students know why scientists
keep notebooks -- explain!• Don’t assume students know what’s
expected of them when they keep a notebook in class!
• Provide time for writing in notebooks
![Page 32: Intro Slide](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032605/56812b84550346895d8fa26e/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
32
Literacy and Inquiry Science
Using science lab notebooks to improve literacy:• Insist on higher order components in
entries (i.e. reflection)• Read, comment about, and evaluate
notebooks against a shared rubric• Provide opportunities for revision and
publish excellent examples of student notebooks!
![Page 33: Intro Slide](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032605/56812b84550346895d8fa26e/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)

Science and Literacy Beyond Notebooks
(1) Reading comprehension prompts
(2) Writing and reading extensions
(3) Record NCTE/IRA standards on lesson plans (applies to NCTM and NRC also)

Poll Question:
What did the Einstein Project’s Cornerstone Study (http://www.einsteinproject.org/) indicate?

A Trend in High-Stakes Science Testing?
- Education Week, Nov. 30, 2005
NAEP is increasing proportion of factual scientific knowledge and application from 45% to 60% starting in 2009, reducing test content related to conducting investigations . . .
![Page 36: Intro Slide](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032605/56812b84550346895d8fa26e/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
